As a UK based, employee-owned company, we pride ourselves on being dedicated, dynamic and customer-focused cellular engineering experts. Our products are crafted to not only meet client requirements but also to lead the industry and drive innovation. A prime example is our award-winning ARTEMIS Mobile Phone Detection & Location System (MPDLS), specifically designed for Search and Rescue operations, but now in use in a broad array of operations.
Our Roots
Smith Myers Communications Ltd was formed in 1987 from the design partnership of Tony Smith and Peter Myers, both previously engaged as freelance design engineers. That same year saw the launch of the first in a series of radically different test and measurement equipment for the new burgeoning cellular radio market. Intuitive and easy to use, the equipment’s simple user interface masked the complexity of cellular radio technology and protocols. Effectiveness and ease of use became the hall mark of Smith Myers equipment, along with a heavy focus on customer support. A commitment to listen, design, deliver and support.
Our Values
We’re an engineering-led company with a laser sharp focus on our customers. We promote a culture within our business that allows our engineers to design outside of their comfort zone in order to create truly disruptive products and capabilities. We are passionate about excellence and doing our work right the first time. Our reputation depends on our delivered value in the eyes of every customer. Promoting an environment where innovation is the norm. We develop and apply world-class technology and process. We listen, learn, and seek out the best ideas. We attack complacency and continually improve.
Respect & Integrity
We treat people with respect and dignity. Listen actively. Communicate in a timely and forthright manner. Never undermine colleagues and exercise the highest level of professional and ethical behaviour.
Build Trust
We build positive, long-term relationships with our customers, joint-venture partners, subcontractors, suppliers, and colleagues, founded on trust, respect, and collaboration.
Rigorous & Resolute
Sometimes simple is better than clever and we value well-communicated, critical analysis of our processes and products. While we use metrics to make good decisions we are never beholding to them.
Always be Growing
We stretch ourselves, experiment, seek and deliver actionable feedback, listen, learn from failure, and demonstrate resilience. Try new things. Be balanced and accurate evaluators of our actions.
Ownership
We take accountability and own long-term outcomes. Consider impact for the entire company, beyond a specific team, product, or individual. Never say “it is not my job”.
Curiosity & Bias for Action
Curiosity pushes each of us to dive deep, innovate, improve, and discover. Never stop learning. Act with deliberate speed and initiative. Take calculated risks to move forward and iterate.
