Analysys Mason Buys Northern Sky Research

UK-based management consultancy Analysys Mason has acquired US specialist satellite and space market research and consulting services provider Northern Sky Research (NSR) for an undisclosed sum.

Founded in 2000, NSR analyzes growth opportunities across four core industry sectors: satellite communications, satellite and space applications, financial analysis, and satellite and space infrastructure. According to Analysys Mason, the combination of this expertise and its own international market position in the TMT (telecoms, media and technology) sector will provide an 'exceptional breadth' of services to new and existing clients worldwide, underpinned by a 'unique knowledge base' spanning 5G, fibre and satellite platforms.

Christopher Baugh, founder and CEO of NSR, says the firms' combined knowledge and track record provides an opportunity for NSR to enhance its position globally. Analysys Mason EVP Bram Moerman adds: 'We have long admired Christopher and the NSR team for their world-class analysis and insights in the satellite and space industry and are delighted to welcome them to Analysys Mason. At a time when 5G and satellite technologies and investment models are converging with disruptive effect, this acquisition couldn't be more timely, and puts us in a unique position to advise our clients on these important developments'.
