  • Gateways: ground infrastructure that connects LEO and MEO constellations to terrestrial networks, including sovereign gateways
  • Maritime safety and connectivity for commercial shipping, fishing, offshore energy and superyachts, from distress communications to crew welfare, operational data and fleet management
  • Enterprise connectivity for remote operations such as resource extraction, humanitarian and rescue work

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.
