A strategic merger to accelerate standardized 5G NTN Cobham Satcom is merging its Network Division with Gatehouse Satcom to push 3GPP-based non-terrestrial networks from trials to scalable deployments. The combined entity will sit as a subsidiary within Cobham Satcom Group, led by Kenney Schmidt Christiansen, Gatehouse Satcom’s current CEO. Cobham Satcom will hold a majority stake and continue to serve maritime, government, and enterprise customers through its SAILOR, Sea Tel, EXPLORER, and TRACKER brands. The transaction requires standard regulatory approvals but positions both companies to offer an end-to-end 5G NTN platform spanning software, ground infrastructure, and terminals.
