TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — Keelung-based Universal Microwave Technology reported March revenue of NT$328 million (US$10 million), its second-highest monthly level on record, mainly driven by increased shipments of low-Earth orbit satellite components, CNA reported. 

The company’s satellite components include millimeter-wave signal transmission devices, filters, and ground station antenna systems. It has become a key supplier to SpaceX’s Starlink service and Amazon’s Project Kuiper program.

The company said its LEO satellite segment has grown significantly since the fourth quarter of last year. The segment helped drive the company’s first-quarter revenue to NT$1.02 billion, up 64.5% from 2025.

As global LEO satellite deployment speeds up, the company expects continued growth in demand for millimeter-wave communication components. It is also developing high-frequency devices with greater bandwidth to support AI-powered data transmission and processing.

The company highlighted it will continue to strengthen its millimeter-wave communication technology to achieve high-bandwidth, low-latency communications, a key focus in the satellite sector.

In March, the company participated in Satellite 2026 in Washington, D.C. It said it exchanged views with international satellite operators on satellite communications infrastructure, large-scale constellation deployment, and direct-to-mobile satellite services. The company also signed cooperation agreements with several operators to support the development of LEO satellites.

Last year, the company developed Optical Inter-Satellite Link technology, which uses laser beams to improve data transmission between satellites. The technology has entered mass production and is expected to help boost revenue this year.

Company President Wu Tung-yi (吳東義) said the firm is also developing terahertz technology, which uses extremely high-frequency waves beyond wireless bands for data transmission. The frequency band offers extremely high bandwidth and resolution, making it key for 6G networks and next-generation satellite communications.
