36Kr learned that Yuji Space Technology (Beijing) Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Yuji Space"), an enterprise engaged in the research and development of satellite communication terminals, announced the completion of an angel - round financing of over ten million yuan. The investors include TusStar Venture Capital, Tsinghua Alumni Seed Fund, and SEE Fund, etc. The raised funds will be mainly used for the R & D investment of core products and the construction of mass - production capabilities.

Yuji Space takes satellite communication application terminals as the market entry point, focusing on the R & D and manufacturing of a new generation of informatization and intelligent products in the aerospace field. The company is committed to solving the problems of signal access and communication anti - interference in complex environments, and providing core hardware and algorithm support for the implementation of satellite Internet applications.

The founder, Wang Boli, is a serial entrepreneur with nearly a decade of experience in aerospace research and management within the system. He has participated in the development of more than a dozen satellites of multiple models. The company's core team is based on technical experts from Beihang University and aerospace research institutes, with over 20 years of technical accumulation and industrialization practice experience in the fields of aerospace communication measurement and control and software - defined radio.

Aiming at the "last mile" of the industrial chain integration

With the intensive deployment of low - earth orbit satellite constellations globally, satellite Internet has entered the eve of large - scale construction from the technical concept stage. In the past year, the popularity of the industry has continued to rise, not only because of its connection value in compensating for the lack of ground network coverage, but also because it can provide a new "three - dimensional digital base" for vertical industries and frontier fields such as aviation, navigation, energy, scientific research, meteorology, agriculture, forestry, ocean, national defense, and emergency response (such as low - altitude economy and autonomous driving).

From the state - led GW constellation to the Qianfan constellation promoted by commercial companies, China's independently controllable space - based network is being accelerated. This will directly generate a massive and rigid demand for high - performance, low - cost, and domestic - made terminals in the future.

Launching the constellation into space is just the first step. Making the signal reach various terminal users stably, reliably, and economically is the "last mile" for the realization of industrial value. A series of engineering challenges such as anti - interference technology breakthroughs in complex electromagnetic environments, terminal miniaturization, and cost control are precisely the technical thresholds and business opportunities for startups in the ground terminal track.

Aiming at this core link, Yuji Space has built a diversified product matrix based on the team's past experience in communication anti - interference technology, integrated communication and navigation reception and processing, and the design of miniaturized and low - power broadband terminals. Its core idea is to take strong anti - interference ability and integrated communication and navigation as the common technical foundation, define products according to different needs and application scenarios, and provide customers with two major categories of products: complete machine solutions and communication anti - interference modules.

It is reported that at present, its core product matrix includes high - performance/portable broadband terminals, multi - modal communication terminals, and ultra - high - speed signal recording and analysis instruments.

· High - performance/portable broadband terminals cover mainstream satellite frequency bands such as Ka, Ku, L, and S, and are suitable for various satellite communication application scenarios. The core breakthrough lies in transforming high - performance phased - array terminals from "bulky devices" to "portable terminals" through the integrated design of radio - frequency antennas, reducing the entry threshold for industry users.

· Multi - modal fusion terminal products reflect its "full - domain coverage" concept, being compatible with general networks, self - organizing networks, and satellite networks.

· Ultra - high - speed signal recording and analysis instruments can be widely used in scenarios with requirements for signal collection, analysis, and recording, such as satellite ground receiving stations, aircraft fields, and large - scale ground stations. It is reported that it supports a sampling rate at the GHz level, with a maximum storage speed of 7GB/s, filling the gap in the field of high - speed signal capture and recording in domestic satellite ground receiving stations.

Wang Boli, the founder, executive director, and CEO of Yuji Space, mentioned that currently, the company's products have been implemented in two major application scenarios: integrated communication and navigation and multi - modality. All products have completed the R & D of principle prototypes, and the user side has also completed the application acceptance, verifying the technical feasibility and scenario adaptability. The subsequent team will promote small - batch trial production and in - depth application of scenarios based on user feedback and network construction progress.

The critical window period for technical accumulation and scenario refinement

In terms of strategic path, Yuji Space generally follows the industry's development logic of "military first, then civilian; from B to C". That is, it first serves the military and special - purpose industry markets with high performance requirements and low price sensitivity to polish products and build a good reputation. With the increase in scale and further optimization of the cost structure, it gradually expands to civilian industry markets such as civil aviation, energy, and transportation. Finally, it aims at the large - scale consumer - grade market.

Wang Boli also mentioned that since the domestic satellite Internet has not been fully established, currently, Yuji Space mainly focuses on R & D contracts in terms of business.

"In 2025, the company mainly focused on R & D contracts for satellite communication modules. Currently, the business structure is mainly based on technical R & D services, and large - scale product sales have not yet been formed. It is expected that with the implementation of subsequent projects and the promotion of mass production, the revenue structure will gradually diversify." Wang Boli said. In 2026, the company plans to achieve an income target of over ten million yuan.

From the perspective of the industry's development level, the Chinese satellite communication market is still immature. This also means that for startups, their early - stage competitiveness lies not only in low prices but also in the ability to provide stable, safe, and independently controllable connection solutions in complex environments. This also requires continuous cooperation between enterprises and technology demanders to consolidate technical barriers and customer trust through joint R & D and in - depth exploration of scenarios.

For Yuji Space, its development window period is relatively clear, that is, to complete product finalization, cost optimization, and the establishment of industry benchmark cases before the full networking of the national constellation and the large - scale explosion of the application market.

"In the field of satellite communication applications, the market is still in the early construction stage, and large - scale implementation scenarios have not yet been formed. Especially for specific industry applications, it still needs to wait for the satellite network to provide services before rapid iteration can be achieved." Wang Boli said. "Currently, this is the critical window period for technical accumulation and scenario refinement. In the future, the reliability and security of communication links will become the core factors determining user experience and commercial implementation. Therefore, the company will be more determined to continue to explore anti - interference communication technology in - depth."

Globally, systems represented by "Starlink" and "Starshield" are redefining the competition dimension of space - based infrastructure: it is not only a competition in bandwidth but also a competition in coverage, security, and elastic services. It has become a consensus that China must develop an independently controllable satellite Internet system. As the link directly related to user experience, the demand for autonomy, diversification, and high performance of ground terminals will explode simultaneously. In the future industrial pattern, terminal manufacturers that can fully understand top - level standards, penetrate into industry scenarios, and control costs will have stronger discourse power in the industrial chain.

"We hope to become an indispensable technical support force in the future satellite communication network and provide the industry with stable and reliable anti - interference communication solutions." Wang Boli added.

Views of investors

TusStar Venture Capital, the leading investor in this round, believes that satellite Internet and next - generation communication technologies such as 5G NTN and 6G have become the mainstream development trends in the world today. China's low - orbit communication network infrastructure construction has also entered the golden acceleration period. However, the supporting ground - based infrastructure has not achieved large - scale production due to commercial issues such as scale and cost. "We are optimistic about the differentiated technical advantages and profound business background of the founding team of Yuji Space, as well as its practical strategic plan of 'from military to civilian, ecological cooperation, and win - win benefits'. We believe that the team can fully leverage its own advantages in this wave of the satellite Internet trend that everyone is vying for and seize the development opportunity."

Ding Yiting, a partner of Tsinghua Alumni Seed Fund, said: Relying on its independently developed communication anti - interference technology, Yuji Space integrates the needs of narrow - band and broadband communication, and has created a series of products such as multi - modal terminals for the upcoming 6G space - air communication field. The team has a solid technical foundation and has accumulated relevant technologies for many years. Currently, the technologies have been implemented in multiple industry scenarios. As a core capability platform for communication anti - interference, it can be deeply integrated with various communication terminals and become a key infrastructure for safe and reliable space - air communication. The future is promising.
