Aerospace company SpaceX, founded by Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, is expediting its layout in LEO satellite. It has officially submitted applications to the FCC to quintuple the official authorization quantity of satellite earth stations received by the user side, which brings a burst of business opportunities related to components and spurs the after-market of key components of LEO satellite made by MTI, Gongin, and Compeq.
　　Industry participants believe that many countries are getting ready for the next generation of 6G technology after 5G service is now introduced. LEO satellite is praised as the key to lead 6G technology in the future. The United States cannot get much say in key mobile communication technology. The acceleration of layout by SpaceX as an American company can be regarded as a significant move for the United States to take the lead in 6G, which can also be seen as a vital battle in future transnational science and technology war over 6G.
　　Musk once disclosed that the network connection speed offered by star chain program can rival all ground services with a delay time of less than 20 milliseconds. When the user is playing games, their reaction speed will not be defeated by their opponent. SpaceX estimates that the cost of the star chain program will be at least 10 billion US dollars, while the potential market is as high as 1 trillion US dollars.
　　Musk has made the world see his innovative products and business models via Tesla. Taiwan manufacturers, including satellite component factory Gongin, satellite high-frequency component manufacturer Sentelic, MTI and Jinbao, satellite earth station suppliers, RF module manufacturer THEIL, Elite and Compeq, PCB factories, etc. will also play a key role in influencing the broad attention directed at the market of the LEO satellite program by SpaceX on future mobile communication technology.
　　Among the aforementioned, MTI and Sentelic are most indicative, of which they have been engaged in the layout of 5G and satellite communications for many years. MTI has infiltrated into the supply chain of international LEO satellite companies. Along with launches of satellites in succession, it is expected that the shipments by the company will be spurred on. Sentelic continues to cultivate the 5G application market and satellite communication clients from Europe and America and expanded its business to the space industry, which will become the growth momentum in the future.
Gongin continues to work on its layout of LEO satellite components in the space industry and to provide high-speed and low-latency network services; since 2020, it has been delivering LEO satellite components to space companies in the United States. The sales of components has contributed to revenue, in succession, for the six months. It is expected that the sales will markedly increase in 2021. Products by Gongin have now also included applications of space actuators and servo valves. The components are used to control movements of the aircraft such as ascent, descent and direction function. They are applied in aerocrafts such as aeroplanes, drones, etc. (New source: Economic Daily)
