Linksolution announced on the 5th that it has been finally selected as a participating company in the industry-academia cooperation task force (TF) “K-LEO Industry Council,” which the government is promoting to secure a low Earth orbit satellite communication system for the Republic of Korea.
With this selection, Linksolution is expected to establish itself as a core partner in projects to build aerospace and low Earth orbit satellite infrastructure. K-LEO is a government-led strategic project being pursued to reduce dependence on overseas low Earth orbit satellite ecosystems such as “Starlink” and “OneWeb” and to secure national sovereignty in telecommunications. The council includes defense and aerospace companies such as Hanwha Aerospace, Hanwha Systems, Hyundai Rotem, LIG Nex1, and Hancom InSpace; physical AI and electronics companies such as Hyundai Motor Company and LG Electronics; and telecommunications operators such as KT and SK Telecom.
The TF aims to build a cooperative framework around four core areas: satellite bus manufacturing and control, ground segment (network), user terminal segment, and satellite communication services. Based on this, the strategy is to pursue the realization of “ultra-high-speed, ultra-connected, ultra-low-latency” communications required in next-generation physical AI environments such as humanoids and autonomous mobility, and to secure sixth-generation (6G) mobile communication technologies.
Linksolution was selected as a participating company in the “satellite bus manufacturing and control” field based on its FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) 3D printing technology using super engineering plastic. It received high marks for its ability to produce high-precision, high-quality advanced components suitable for the space environment through high-temperature control systems, vacuum bed systems, automatic drying material supply systems, and high-precision layering technologies.
A Linksolution official said, “The selection of our company as a participating company in this K-low Earth orbit satellite project is highly meaningful in that our 3D printing platform technology has gained public credibility at the level of a national strategic project,” adding, “We also plan to actively pursue entry into the global space, telecommunications, and corporate ecosystem represented by companies such as SpaceX.”
