Domo Tactical Communications

I'll research this company before writing the profile.

Let me verify ownership, size, and product details.

Company overview. Domo Tactical Communications (DTC), legally Domo Tactical Communications (DTC) Ltd., is a tactical communications and surveillance equipment supplier founded in 2001 as part of Cobham plc's Tactical Communications and Surveillance division. Cobham sold the unit to Marlin Equity Partners in January 2016, when it was rebranded DTC. In May 2021, ASX-listed Codan Limited (ASX: CDA) completed the acquisition of 100% of DTC for an upfront US$88 million plus up to US$16 million in earn-outs. DTC is therefore a subsidiary of Codan and not independently listed. Reporting at the time of the Codan deal put DTC at roughly 140 employees, headquartered in the US (Herndon/Ashburn, Virginia) with locations in the UK (Whiteley, Hampshire) and Denmark; DTC's expected first-full-year contribution to Codan was about AUD 90 million in sales.

Products / services. DTC develops secure wireless video, data and mesh networking equipment for military special forces, intelligence agencies, law enforcement, border control, first responders and broadcasters. Principal lines include the SOLO8 software-defined radio (SDR) platform and SOL8SDR variants (concealment, robust, plain) for COFDM transmit/receive and MANET IP mesh; legacy Phase 5 MIMO mesh radios; SOLO8 receivers such as the MicroVue and NanoVue HD; body-worn, vehicle and airborne surveillance kits; drop cameras and remote ground sensors; and "DTC Domo Broadcast" camera-back transmitters. It markets to more than 20 US government agencies and Five Eyes customers and has received US Army contracts, including a reported $9.8 million sole-source award.

Patent-litigation posture. DTC is an operating company defendant, not an asserter: the tracked data show 1 case as defendant and 0 as plaintiff. The sole tracked matter is Cedar Lane Technologies Inc. v. Domo Tactical Communications, in which Cedar Lane — a Canadian entity widely characterized as a patent assertion entity — sued DTC in the Eastern District of Virginia (Norfolk Division), not the Eastern District of Texas.

Notable case context. The E.D. Va. complaint was filed May 26, 2022 (2:22-cv-00240; originally 1:22-cv-00609 before intradistrict transfer) and was voluntarily dismissed on July 20, 2022. The asserted patent listed in the Stanford NPE Litigation Database is US 6,972,790 ("Host interface for imaging arrays"), consistent with Cedar Lane's pattern of asserting acquired image-processing patents against camera- and video-related products.
