Company profile
Sofant Technologies
Edinburgh company developing radio-frequency MEMS components and beam-steering antenna systems for satellite communication terminals.
Company overview
Sofant Technologies is an Edinburgh-based company developing satellite communication (SATCOM) antenna terminals for mobile applications. The company’s approach is based on its patented radio-frequency microelectromechanical systems (RF MEMS) technology, which it uses to create lightweight, low-power, and passively cooled phased array antennas. These terminals are designed for mobile connectivity across airborne (in-flight), land (communications-on-the-move), and maritime sectors, and are compatible with LEO, MEO, and GEO satellite networks. Sofant operates a fabless semiconductor business model, partnering with established manufacturers for high-volume production to ensure scalability and manage costs. Its products are engineered for performance in extreme environments and aim to provide industry-leading size, weight, power, and cost (SWaP-C) characteristics. The company is registered in Scotland with its head office in Edinburgh.
