SWISSto12, a manufacturer of advanced satellite and RF systems headquartered in Renens, Switzerland, has announced the acquisition of Hanwha Phasor’s intellectual property and key assets following the company’s voluntary liquidation earlier this year.

The acquisition includes the Ku-band active electronically steered antenna (AESA) user terminal technology and assets from Hanwha Phasor. SWISSto12 stated it will combine them with its existing portfolio products and technologies to offer an AESA terminal solution to the global satellite communications sector. SWISSto12 anticipates that this acquisition will allow the company to accelerate its product development further and enhance its product line.

“Bolstered by our proprietary 3D printing technology for RF structures, the acquisition of these key assets and IP will allow SWISSto12 to further enhance these satellite user terminals by delivering high-performing and cost-competitive products to a large and growing market,” said Emile de Rijk, CEO and founder of SWISSto12.

SWISSto12 is reported to be among the fastest-growing aerospace companies in the world, with customers including Viasat/Inmarsat, SES/Intelsat, Lockheed Martin and Thales. The company’s RF products benefit from unique and patented Additive Manufacturing technologies and associated product designs that deliver lightweight, compact, highly performing, and competitive RF functionality.

“Adding these assets to our product line is another milestone in our roadmap as we continue to provide customers with best-in-class SatCom solutions and accelerate our growth worldwide,” concluded de Rijk.
