ST Engineering forms joint venture with SatixFy UK

Both aim to boost broadband connectivity experience for in-flight passengers.

Singapore Technologies Engineering Ltd (ST Engineering) announced that its electronics arms Singapore Technologies Electronics Limited (ST Electronics) has signed a joint venture agreement with communication technology provider SatixFy UK Limited (SatixFy UK) through its subsidiary ST Electronics (Satcom & Sensor Systems) Pte. Ltd.

ST Electronics’ planned investment of $26m is for a 49% stake in the joint venture company (JVCo), whilst the remaining 51% is for SatixFy UK.

Further, ST Electronics plans to boost broadband connectivity for in-flight passengers by developing state-of-the-art satellite antenna system.

“This technology will enable seamless and simultaneous communications with multiple satellites, at higher performance, lower SWAP (Size, Weight and Power) and significantly lower cost than existing solutions. In addition to providing enhanced broadband connectivity experience for in-flight passengers, the technology will improve operational efficiencies of commercial and business airline operators,” ST Engineering said.

The JVCo will be set up in the UK.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
