Phasor Solutions

Hanwha Phasor, originally established as Phasor Solutions in 2005, is a developer of enterprise-grade, electronically steerable antennas (ESAs) for satellite communications. In June 2020, the company's assets, intellectual property, and engineering staff were acquired by Hanwha Systems, a defense and technology arm of the South Korean conglomerate Hanwha Group. The acquisition occurred after Phasor Solutions entered insolvency due to financial difficulties exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Following the acquisition, the entity was rebranded as Hanwha Phasor and established its headquarters in London, with additional facilities in Cambridge, UK, and the Washington D.C. area to serve international markets.

The company specializes in the design of flat-panel, phased array antennas intended for mobile satellite connectivity across the aviation, maritime, land mobile, and defense sectors. Unlike traditional parabolic dishes, these low-profile antennas track satellites electronically without moving parts, enabling reliable, high-speed connectivity for vehicles in motion, such as aircraft, ships, and military vehicles. The technology is designed to be "constellation agnostic," meaning it can connect with satellites in both geostationary (GEO) and low Earth orbit (LEO), offering flexibility and uninterrupted service. A key feature is its "make-before-break" capability, which ensures seamless switching between satellite systems.

Hanwha Phasor's product line includes the Phasor A7700 for commercial and military aviation, and the Phasor L3300 series for land-based applications like first responders and broadcast vehicles. Revenue is generated through the sale of these advanced antenna systems to commercial clients, such as airlines and satellite operators, as well as to military and government entities. The firm has engaged in partnerships with companies like Lufthansa Technik and OneWeb to advance its product development and market entry. However, despite its technological developments, Hanwha Phasor faced challenges in bringing a product to market and was reportedly shut down by Hanwha Systems in late 2024, with some of its assets subsequently being acquired by SWISSto12 in 2025.
