Company Profile

ZCG Scalar is a world class radio frequency antenna designer, manufacturer, installer and consulting organisation that offer an integrated approach to identifying RF solutions in partnership with client needs.

The company began in 1970 as a family business. It started because of a need within the amateur radio fraternity for high quality reliable antenna systems specifically designed to deliver long term and trouble free service in the worlds harshest environments.

Following strong support received in response to early antenna designs, in 1994 the owners took control of Scalar Antennas based in Melbourne and shifted the manufacturing equipment to Lindenow. The company name changed to “ZCG Scalar” and it was at this point we became a major commercial antenna manufacturer competing with other companies on the international stage.

In September 2004, G-Tech Communication Services Pty Ltd purchased ZCG Scalar. With over 30 years experience in the RF industry, the current Directors Garry and Sally-Ann Kelly provide clients with a high degree of competence and extensive technical knowledge in antenna design, installation and performance optimisation.

Customer support and demand resulted in continual growth of our product range to accommodate a diverse range of antennas, cables, connectors and all mounting accessories necessary for RF applications including…

The primary production facility is located in Lindenow, Victoria, a rural environment 15 kilometres west of Bairnsdale in the East Gippsland region. This position is ideal for the manufacture of antennas and related RF systems due to the lack of both radio frequency and electrical interference. We also have a regional office in Capalaba, Queensland.

In January 2006 the factory in Lindenow, Victoria was extended to provide larger manufacturing areas and a more efficient production flow through departments from delivery of materials to final dispatch of completed antennas. The office administration area and staff facilities have also been extended. Employing over 40 staff members, ZCG Scalar has recognised the need for a continuous training regime. All employees are formally trained to a high level of competence with full recognition that our staff are in fact our greatest asset.

ZCG Scalar has many collaborative relationships, from manufacturing partners in Taiwan and Malaysia to providing services to major Australian clients. These supplier and client relationships has helped strengthen the company's ability to provide end to end RF solutions. Some of these relationships include external product suppliers such as Novaris lightning protection, Digital Communications Incorporated frequency filters and hydraulic Clark Masts.

On the client side ZCG has extended contracts in place with government departments, large corporates, broadcasters and a multitude of private companies.

In November 2007, due to demand from it’s extensive client base, ZCG Scalar expanded its product portfolio to include Solar Power Systems and associated products. The range of solar products available has been assembled in order to provide a single source for all the major components and accessories necessary to assemble a solar power system.

ZCG Scalar is a Quality Endorsed Company complying with the ISO9001:2000 requirements. The registration covers the Quality Management System for the design, manufacture, installation, maintenance and repair of radio frequency antennas and systems; and for the provision of EMR and signal strength surveys services. Products produced under this QA accreditation are fully traceable. Clients can therefore have complete confidence that all products marked with the ZCG SCALAR brand are of the very finest quality.

A broad range of technology is employed in the Lindenow manufacturing facility. An integrated IT system guarantees the smooth flow of product from order point through to dispatch. Computer Aided Design (CAD) and Computerised Numerical Control (CNC) systems are utilised in the production process. Design and test facilities incorporate Network Analysers at each point in the production and performance testing stages. This means that products are manufactured and optimised to the very highest technical standards.
