Duluth, GA, July 25, 2014
Rockwell Collins has completed the sale of its satellite communications business. The business, which designs, manufactures and services ground-based satellite communication systems primarily for military customers, will be renamed DataPath, Inc.
Details of the sale were not immediately released.
The company says in a statement the sale is part of a strategy to reshape its government systems business to focus on core products that will fuel future growth.
The sale includes operations in Duluth, Georgia, and Stockholm, Sweden, and includes about 365 employees.
Rockwell acquired DataPath in June 2009 in a transaction valued at US$ 130 million and incorporated the products into its own Rockwell Collins brand.
