Paradigm is an independent, highly regarded manufacturer of satellite communication products based in the UK. Our mission is to make Satcom as easy to use as a smartphone. Satcom users don’t need to be extensively trained engineers with specialised tools, instead, they must be provided with simple solutions; quick-to-deploy terminals that are small, portable and have high throughput and energy efficiency.
Above all, this advanced technology must be simple to use. So, that’s what we focus on: the world’s most advanced Satcom, made simple. We’ve been trusted to deliver this globally for more than 25 years.
