AERKOMM expands Taiwanese ops and explores a merger

July 19, 2023

U.S.-based AERKOMM Inc. has expanded the company’s operations in Taiwan and has engaged in ongoing discussions regarding a potential merger between the firm’s subsidiary, AERKOMM Taiwan Inc., and EJECTT Inc. (3089.TWO). This strategic move aims to seize opportunities in the growing satellite business sector and reinforce AERKOMM’s position in the global satellite market.

AERKOMM Inc. is expanding its presence in Taiwan to capitalize on the development of LEO, MEO and GEO satellite operations. Following the authorization of EJECTT Inc. as the exclusive agent for AERKOMM Taiwan Inc. by AERKOMM Inc., the company’s Board of Directors further passed a resolution on July 9th to explore the potential merger between AERKOMM Taiwan and EJECTT Inc. (3089.TWO).

AERKOMM Taiwan Inc., the only authorized Taiwanese service provider to offer satellite communication services via NGSO, successfully passed the Satellite Communication Frequency Application review by the Ministry of Digital Affairs on April 27, 2023. Building on this achievement, AERKOMM Taiwan proceeded with the application for satellite fixed communication radio frequency usage.

Subsequently, the Taiwan Ministry of Digital Affairs issued an approval letter to AERKOMM Taiwan, confirming its qualification for frequency allocation for satellite fixed communication on July 7, 2023. AERKOMM Inc. plans to expand its services by incorporating low orbit satellites with existing MEO satellites. This move comes as EJECTT Inc. (3089.TWO) expanded into the solar photovoltaic energy storage field in 2016 and the MEO / LEO satellite industry in 2021, coinciding with the advent of the 6G era.

The ongoing merger discussions between AERKOMM Taiwan and EJECTT Inc. aim to integrate the technological advantages and global resources of AERKOMM Inc. with the business expansion capabilities of EJECTT Inc. in Taiwan, thereby creating superior synergy and accelerating the expansion of Taiwan’s satellite business.

Recently, Taiwan’s government has been actively promoting network resilience and mobile backhaul, which has become a key business opportunity in the market. In comparison to LEO satellites, MEO satellites can provide data transmission capabilities of up to 10 Gbps per base station and are the optimal choice due to their longer lifespan, broader communication coverage, and lower satellite density.

AERKOMM Inc. is collaborating with SES to provide Taiwanese satellite communication services using the bandwidth of the SES MEO satellite O3b mPOWER.

Target markets include government, aero services, maritime services for cruise ships, cargo ships, oil rigs, and deep-sea fishing vessels, land-based services such as automotive IoT, and connectivity internet services for underserved areas. Having dedicated itself to R&D in the satellite industry, AERKOMM Inc. developed the proprietary FGSA (Full-Dominance Glass Semiconductor Antenna) technology in 2023. A key distinguishing feature of FGSA technology is its “One Antenna, Multi-Beam and Multi-Orbit” capability, enabling a single antenna to seamlessly communicate with multiple satellites operating on different orbits simultaneously. This technological breakthrough further solidifies AERKOMM’s position at within the industry and showcases the company’s commitment to innovation and advancement in satellite communication solutions.

AERKOMM Inc. also announced plans to expand the firm’s operation in Taiwan by constructing the world’s first commercial AI Super-Resilient (AiSR) Satellite Network with regenerative abilities. This AI regenerative and self-healing super resilient satellite network, which has peacetime-war transition capabilities, is expected to set the direction for the development of next-generation satellite communication technology. The combination of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and mobile backhaul technology can enhance the performance, efficiency, and optimization of networks using essential key technologies. Machine Learning (ML) enables intelligent predictions and decision-making, optimizing resource allocation and enhancing overall network performance.

Through the smart integration of these technologies, the AI self-healing super resilient network can be realized, enhancing mobile backhaul communication capabilities and network performance, efficiency, and reliability. AERKOMM’s FGSA antenna technology, which allows multiple satellites and base stations to communicate data simultaneously, enables the realization of the AI Super-Resilient (AiSR) Satellite Network.

The company actively seeks strategic alliances with key players in the global satellite industry value chain through mergers, acquisitions, or partnerships. With a long-term vision, AERKOMM aims to become a global leader in the satellite industry within the next decade.
