| Scala Electronic
Corporation was founded in California in 1954 and operated
there until 1979 when operations were moved from the San Francisco
area
to Medford, Oregon.
In 1985, Scala began its alliance with the Kathrein
Group of companies, the worldwide leader in professional antenna systems,
by distributing certain Kathrein antennas for the emerging cellular
market.
Since then, Scala has been fully integrated into the Kathrein Group.
In addition to its own designs, the company builds antennas having
their
origins at Kathrein, but have been redeveloped for the North American
marketplace. With Kathrein firmly positioned as the world’s oldest
and largest source of antenna and filter products for wireless communications
and broadcast technology, it made good sense to align Scala with that
visibility and the company became Kathrein Inc., Scala Division on
