Pace plc develops set-top boxes (STBs), advanced residential gateways, software and services for the pay-TV and broadband services industry. Pace's customers include cable, telco, satellite and IPTV operators. The company was listed on the London Stock Exchange until December 2015 when the company received the last of the regulatory clearances needed to allow a merger with Arris Group to proceed.
The company was founded as Pace Micro Technology plc in 1982 by Yorkshire born businessmen Barry Rubery and David Hood and introduced the first low-cost commercially available modems in 1985. In 1987 it started selling its first analogue satellite set-top receivers. In 1995 it manufactured the world's first DVB decoders for Australian satellite company Galaxy.
Pace was floated on the London Stock Exchange in 1996. In 1998 the company started shipping digital satellite television equipment for BSkyB. In 1999, Pace purchased the set-top box division of Acorn Computers and converted it into its Cambridge office. In the following years Pace owned the GUI RISC OS, and used technologies based on it in its decoder equipment. The Cambridge office was closed in 2003.
