We help companies that influence how our world communicates manufacture hubs, routers, switches, modems, and networking products with the quality and reliability their applications demand.
Demand for bandwidth is accelerating, and new applications in autonomous driving, factory automation, and intelligent monitoring are raising the stakes for networking equipment manufacturers. Consistent quality across complex, multi-component builds requires a communications network manufacturing partner with strong in-house process discipline.
We offer manufacturing communication systems solutions for OEMs and technology providers across the communications sector. Our team manufactures 5G baseband equipment, cellular radios, IoT gateways, RF and optical technology solutions, and traditional networking hardware, working as an integrated partner throughout the production cycle so your team can stay focused on development.
Strategic supply chain planning and procurement for components and sub-assemblies is built into our process from the start. We identify qualified sources early and maintain visibility across your supply chain to reduce lead times and protect your production schedules against component shortages and unplanned downtime.
OUR CAPABILITIES
We build and inspect printed circuit boards for communications hardware using SMT and through-hole processes, with in-line and 3D AOI inspections at each stage. Every board is verified against your specifications before it advances, so defects are caught early rather than discovered at final test.
Our team builds custom cables and wiring harnesses to support the complex connectivity requirements of networking hardware. Precision terminations, routing, and documentation compliance are managed in-house, giving you full traceability on every connection.
We implement your test specifications, covering ICT and functional testing, and develop test strategies and procedures alongside your engineering team. This means your testing process is defined, documented, and consistently executed across every production run.

MANUFACTURING PROCESS
We begin by reviewing your bill of materials, technical specifications, and test requirements. Clear documentation upfront ensures accurate quoting, reliable sourcing, and a build process aligned with your product's exact needs.
Our procurement team sources components and sub-assemblies from qualified suppliers, with strategic planning to protect your build schedule against shortages and long lead times. Each part is logged and verified against your BOM before entering production.
For new products, we support New Product Introduction (NPI) manufacturing to validate the build process before ramping to volume. Early units are built and tested against your specifications, so issues are resolved before full production begins.
Printed circuit boards are assembled using SMT and through-hole processes, with in-line AOI inspection at each stage. Cable and wiring harness assembly is completed in the same facility, reducing handoffs and keeping your schedule on track.
Every communications assembly goes through ICT, functional testing, and test procedure validation to verify performance against your specifications. Where required, we implement your test equipment, jigs, and software to ensure testing aligns with your standards.
Final QA review is conducted against your acceptance criteria, with non-conformances tracked and resolved before shipment. Packaging and outbound logistics complete the process, with full traceability maintained through delivery.
TESTIMONIALS
WHY AUGUST ELECTRONICS
August Electronics manages the full communications electronic manufacturing lifecycle for your products under one roof, covering supply chain, PCB assembly, cable and wiring harness assembly, testing, and delivery. One facility, one partner, and consistent quality oversight for greater operational efficiency at every stage.
Network and communications equipment often involves RF, wireless, and optical components with tight tolerances and complex test requirements. Our NPI process is built to handle this complexity, validating the build at each stage before volume production begins.
Our quality management system is ISO 9001:2015 certified, with continuous improvement built in through non-conformance tracking, defect management, and AQL inspections. Every build is fully documented and traceable, giving you confidence in the product quality as it leaves our facility.
We support product revisions and evolving specifications without disrupting production timelines. Whether you're in active development or managing an established product line, our team adapts to keep your manufacturing moving.
Our rigorous testing strategies eliminate risks and ensure your product's reliability. Every communication system undergoes dielectric testing, functional testing, and AQL inspections to verify safety and functionality.

August Electronics is ISO 9001:2015 certified, covering quality management across all manufacturing operations. Our team also holds IPC certifications, including IPC-A-610 for electronic assemblies, and our facility meets CSA, UL, and ETL safety standards. For a complete list, visit our quality management page.
August Electronics specializes in low- to mid-volume electronics manufacturing, making us well-suited for OEMs who need quality-focused production without the minimum order requirements of high-volume manufacturers. We support both prototype builds and full production runs.
Our manufacturing environment is built to accommodate product revisions and specification updates. When engineering changes arise, our team works with you to assess the impact on existing inventory and work-in-progress, updating documentation and processes before resuming production.
To generate a quote for a manufacturing communication systems project, we typically need your bill of materials (BOM), product specifications, estimated volumes, and any relevant test requirements. Our team reviews your documentation and follows up with questions specific to your product before we begin.
Our facility is based in Calgary, Alberta, and we ship to customers across North America and internationally. Our logistics team manages packaging, labeling, and delivery to your end-user or designated destination, including drop shipping directly to end-users.
