Clarus Networks Ltd BETTER CONNECTED
Clarus’ Technology Demonstration and Test Centre in Bathgate, Scotland
Clarus Networks – connecting the world’s most challenging environments Clarus Networks delivers managed satellite, wireless and enterprise network solutions for organisations operating where conventional infrastructure is limited, unreliable or unavailable. When it received a 2026 King’s Award for Enterprise in International Trade, it recognised more than a strong export performance. It recognised a Scottish company operating at the centre of a major shift in enterprise infrastructure: the move towards resilient, always-on connectivity for assets, people and operations that no longer sit neatly inside traditional network boundaries. Founded in Scotland in 2014 by Derek and Debra Phillips, Clarus Networks has grown from a specialist connectivity provider into a managed enterprise infrastructure partner for organisations working in remote, mobile and
infrastructure-constrained environments. Its customers operate across rail, maritime, offshore energy, renewables, construction, utilities, emergency services, broadcast media and other sectors where connectivity has a direct impact on safety, productivity, service delivery and customer experience. That focus has translated into significant growth. Clarus has reported 941% revenue growth over a three-year period and has been recognised among the Deloitte UK Technology Fast 50, Megabuyte Emerging Stars, and FT1000 list of Europe’s fastest- growing companies. It now manages thousands of services across customer estates, including more than 4500 Starlink terminals at the time of writing, while continuing to support international deployments from its headquarters and Network Operations Centre in Scotland. Growth built on operational resilience The company’s expansion has been driven by a simple reality: modern organisations are more distributed, more data-led and more dependent on real-time systems than ever before. Vessels, depots, remote sites, mobile fleets, live production teams and field engineers all need dependable access to applications, communications and cloud platforms. When that access fails, the impact is not just technical. It can slow projects, disrupt operations, reduce visibility and create avoidable risk. Clarus helps customers close that gap by designing, deploying and managing networks
that combine satellite, wireless, cellular, SD-WAN, routing, security and service management. The business is services-led rather than hardware-led. Its value sits in integration, orchestration, governance and support: bringing multiple technologies together as one operational service, then managing that service throughout its lifecycle. From Starlink adoption to multi-LEO strategy A major part of Clarus’ recent expansion has been linked to the rapid development of low Earth orbit satellite communications. Starlink has changed expectations for remote and mobile operations by offering low-latency, high-throughput connectivity that can be deployed far faster than many traditional infrastructure options. As an authorised Starlink reseller, Clarus has helped move that technology from early adoption into everyday enterprise use across fixed sites, field operations, vessels, transport networks and live production environments. Alongside its Starlink expertise, Clarus is also a OneWeb distributor and Amazon Leo partner, adding further capability within the LEO market. Starlink remains the most significant driver of recent customer adoption, but OneWeb and Amazon strengthen the company’s ability to design strategies around different coverage profiles, service requirements and operational environments. The next phase is multi-LEO. With Starlink, OneWeb and Amazon Leo forming part of the wider landscape, Clarus is developing an approach where
