At Satellite 2026 in Washington, D.C., YTTEK, a Taiwan-based company that develops wireless communication and satellite communication technologies, including ground systems, payloads, and user terminals, made its first public debut of a fully integrated end-to-end satellite communications (SATCOM) architecture spanning ground stations, satellite payloads, and automotive user terminals. The debut highlights Taiwan's role in the global satellite supply chain - from component manufacturing to full-system SATCOM integration.
YTTEK has built its satellite communications expertise through collaboration with the Taiwan Space Agency (TASA). Its satellite ground station modem has successfully received and decoded signals from TASA's Formosat-5 and NASA's Landsat-8 and Landsat-9 satellites.
YTTEK is showcasing a high-throughput satellite communication payload designed for CubeSats and Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites. The payload features a Software-Defined Radio (SDR) architecture capable of supporting multiple protocols. It is targeted for launch in 2027.
YTTEK has partnered with AUO Mobility Solutions Corporation to co-develop an automotive satellite User Terminal (UT). The solution combines AUO's roof-integrated transparent glass antenna with YTTEK's satellite communication system for user terminals. The system includes an Antenna Control Unit (ACU) designed for modem integration to support satellite tracking and connectivity.
"As global LEO deployments accelerate, competition is shifting from individual components to system-level integration," said Jiangson Chen, CEO of YTTEK. "Our goal is to build a complete satellite communications solution—from ground to satellite to vehicle."
At Satellite 2026, YTTEK is looking to collaborate with aerospace companies and system integrators, using its integration capabilities within the LEO satellite ecosystem.
