ETL Systems has announced its acquisition of SpacePath Communications. This strategic move will strengthen ETL’s presence in the global satellite communications market. It highlights the shared vision and cultural alignment between the two organisations, built on mutual respect for both ETL and SpacePath’s achievements and expertise.

The acquisition brings together two innovative teams dedicated to delivering exceptional products and services. SpacePath’s team is known for its customer-centric approach, which mirrors ETL’s own commitment to innovation and quality. This alignment will ensure a smooth integration process, leveraging the strengths of both companies to enhance customer offerings.

“By acquiring SpacePath Communications, we are thrilled to enhance our offerings and provide their customers with innovative solutions and new functionalities,” stated Kevin Dunne, CEO at ETL Systems. “We are dedicated to maintaining the high standards of service that both our organisations value.”

SpacePath Communications’ co-founder and Director of Business Development, Colin Bolton, expressed enthusiasm about the merger, stating, “We are excited to join forces with ETL Systems, a company that shares our commitment to innovation and customer service. This acquisition presents a tremendous opportunity for our team and clients alike, as we combine our strengths to deliver even greater value in the satellite communications market.”

Newton Burnet, co-founder and Chief Technical Officer of SpacePath, said, “This acquisition represents a major milestone for SpacePath and ETL. It provides us with the additional resources and infrastructure necessary to access new high-value mm wave transmitter markets, while still providing existing product lines and maintaining our core values of technical innovation, quality products and customer support.”

With the integration of SpacePath’s High Power Amplifier (HPA) product line into ETL’s existing portfolio, the company aims to better meet the needs of its expanding customer base. SpacePath’s clients will continue to receive dedicated support from ETL Systems as both teams collaborate to ensure a seamless transition.

This acquisition not only solidifies ETL’s position as a leading provider of RF distribution solutions in the UK but also creates new career progression opportunities for both SpacePath and ETL employees, expanding resources for personal development and growth within the industry.
