In 2004, Avalon celebrated its 25th
Anniversary as one of the recording industry’s most innovative providers of high performance
data recorders for laboratory, mobile and platform applications. In that time,
the company has developed an unrivalled reputation for staying ‘ahead of the
game’ so far as the needs of the SIGINT and acoustic communities are concerned
and has become the benchmark for data quality, reliability and long-term
after-sales support.
Avalon was the first recorder
manufacturer to recognize the benefits of disk recording and its AE7000 wideband
analog and telecom recorders have been in operational service around the world
since 1999. Since that time, the company has built steadily on that sound
foundation with a sequence of industry 'firsts'.
