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.
