What YTTEK does
YTTEK Technology Corp is a Taiwan-based software-defined radio (SDR) company founded in 2019 in Hsinchu, with engineering roots tracing to a team formed at ITRI in 2014. The company designs and builds SDR platforms spanning satellite ground station modems, CubeSat communication payloads, UAV communication modules, general-purpose wireless research and test instruments, and supporting RF front-end modules such as mmWave converters and beamforming front-ends. Customers include government space agencies (Taiwan Space Agency / TASA, with NASA-validated signal reception), defense organizations, automotive companies (AUO Mobility Solutions), and academic institutions, with active trade-show and channel reach into North America, Singapore, and Asia-Pacific.
YTTEK's technology is built on FPGA/SoC-based SDR architectures that implement RF and baseband functions in software, enabling remote reconfiguration and multi-protocol support across CCSDS, DVB-S2, 5G NR, and WiFi. Headline products include the HyperSDR satellite ground station modem (coverage to 15 GHz, up to 2.4 Gbps per-channel throughput, mission-validated on Formosat-5 and Landsat-8/9), the SDRspace CubeSat payload (dual X/Ku bands, 720 Mbps downlink in a 1U, ~500 g form factor, targeting a 2027 TASA launch), the SDRone Uno UAV module (300 MHz–6 GHz with anti-jamming frequency hopping exceeding 2,000 hops/second), and the PluSDR / PluSDR Lite research platforms programmable from Python, MATLAB, and C++. Supporting modules include the FlexBeam 28 GHz mmWave front-end, the TrueUDC 28 GHz up/down converter, and the EcoRIS reconfigurable intelligent surface.
YTTEK operates a hardware-led, project-based revenue model: it sells integrated SDR systems and modules to enterprise and government customers, supplemented by custom SDR development and co-development arrangements with semiconductor partners (Qualcomm, NXP, MediaTek, Anokiwave). Pricing is not publicly disclosed; all sales are handled through direct inquiry and quotation, consistent with the mission-critical, specialized nature of the products. Distribution is primarily direct enterprise sales via the company website contact form and direct phone/email, supported by trade-show-driven lead generation at SATELLITE (Washington D.C.), SatelliteAsia (Singapore), and CES, and an Asia-Pacific channel partnership with Linkwen Electronics. YTTEK reports ISO 9001:2015 and ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certifications achieved in April 2026.
