History
In 2012 Cobham plc acquired Thrane and Thrane, combining Danish satellite expertise with the Sea Tel marine, TracStar land and Omnipless airborne antenna lines into a satcom business unit, rebranded as Cobham Satcom in 2013. The company became a standalone business under Advent International in 2020 and in 2025 was acquired by Solix Group, a Scandinavian investment company with roots in the maritime and government sectors. An in-house research and development organisation works on multi-orbit connectivity for the next generation of constellations.
