About ThinKom Solutions, Inc.

ThinKom Solutions, Inc. is a US aerospace and satellite communications company headquartered in Hawthorne, California, founded in 2000. The company specializes in multi-orbit phased array antennas for the entire satcom ecosystem, serving LEO, MEO, GEO, and HEO satellite networks. ThinKom's proprietary VICTS (Variable Inclination Continuous Transverse Stub) technology enables highly efficient, low-profile, flat-panel antenna steering without the power drawbacks and moving-parts fragility of gimbaled dishes or the power penalties of traditional electronically steered phased arrays.

Product lines include the ThinAir family (Ka2517, Ka1717, Ku3030, Nexus, and hybrid Plus systems) for commercial inflight connectivity, the ThinAir GT family for special-mission and ISR aircraft, ThinSat and ThinPack terminals for comms-on-the-move and portable field use, ThinWave gateway arrays for teleport and ground segment applications, VICTS-based payload antennas for GEO, MEO, and LEO satellite platforms, and High Power Microwave (HPM) counter-UAS systems.

ThinKom is ISO 9001/AS9100 certified and has logged over 40 million flight hours of in-service operation on its aero antenna products. Its VICTS antennas power Gogo's 2Ku inflight connectivity system, deployed on thousands of commercial aircraft worldwide. Customers and partners include Gogo, Intelsat, SES, Telesat, Thales, Airbus, Boeing, Hughes, Sierra Nevada Corporation, and multiple U.S. government and defense agencies.
