ST Engineering Acquires Satcom Anti-Jamming Capabilities

: Sep 18, 2019 - : 3:05 am

ST Engineering has announced that its U.S. subsidiary, iDirect Government, LLC (iDirectGov), has acquired 100% ownership in Glowlink Communications Technology, Inc (Glowlink).

The aggregate purchase consideration was US$20m on a cash-free and debt-free basis plus employment based retention payment of up to US$5m, subject to fulfilment of certain conditions.

Based in Mountain View, CA, U.S., Glowlink delivers innovative solutions that mitigate satellite interferences and improve the quality of satellite communications (satcom). Its satellite network management solutions are able to detect and remove satellite signal interferences in an increasingly dense satellite space.

As more satellites are launched in the coming years to meet the exponentially growing demand for connectivity in smart cities, there will be a significant increase in demand for anti-jam capabilities. Glowlink’s products span carrier and spectrum monitoring, interference detection and mitigation, geolocation, and satellite capacity planning which will augment iDirectGov’s advanced bandwidth-efficient, scalable and highly secure satellite solutions.

“This acquisition builds off the strengths of both teams to expand our satcom offerings with technology tailored to protect mission-critical communications, especially in an increasingly dense signal environment with the advent of many small satellites and 5G,” said Ravinder Singh, President of Electronics sector, ST Engineering. “The complementary product suite provides immediate benefit to iDirectGov’s user  community as it enhances product resilience against signal interference.”
