Who we are

BTU Research is an innovator of technologies and products designed to improve wireless network operating consistency. Our end game is simply to develop the most technically advanced and easily deployed equipment, that will maintain network continuity regardless of power or signal availability. Whether it’s solving seemingly impossible challenges or developing innovative approaches for success, we don’t quit until the desired results are delivered. We’re changing the way people think about things at just the right time and our company name reminds us to always Be Thorough & Uncompromising in our efforts.

In September 2017, the American Society for Industrial Security presented BTU Research with the Best in Security award at the annual ASIS Conference.

For those who may notice the “222” in our logo, it is there in dedication to an extremely innovative and thoughtful man. Georges Cardona saw the world through the lens of his camera. Using this perspective, he remained in constant thought of clever and innovative ideas and solutions. We are happy to share one image taken by Georges shortly after Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans. To capture this image, taken inside a house destroyed and without power, Georges kept the camera exposed for 45 minutes.
