Starcomm Link completes Series A+ and Series A++ financing, accelerating the deployment of 6G space-ground integrated network.
Recently, Starshift Aerospace Technology (Wuxi) Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Starshift Aerospace") announced that it has consecutively completed Series A+ and Series A++ financing, with the total financing amount of the two rounds reaching hundreds of millions of yuan. As a leading domestic commercial aerospace enterprise focusing on satellite communication payload system design, products and solutions, this round of financing will be mainly invested in the iteration of satellite communication payload products, the overall capability improvement of satellite payload systems, production capacity expansion and satellite application business development, to accelerate the construction of the "space-ground integrated" business system.
The Series A+ round is led by Phase II of Liangxi Science and Innovation Parent Fund (managed by Bohua Industrial Investment), with participation from Yuji Investment, Qingyue Capital and Songhe Venture Capital; the Series A++ round is led by Guoke Investment, with participation from Meihua Venture Capital, CRRC Guochuang, Chuangxiang Investment and Zhuopu Investment. So far, Starshift Aerospace has completed a total of seven rounds of financing. As long-term shareholders, Liangxi Science and Innovation Parent Fund, Songhe Venture Capital, Meihua Venture Capital and Chuangxiang Investment have continued to make additional investments.
Founded in December 2021, Starshift Aerospace focuses on the satellite internet sector, with its main business covering the overall design of communication satellite payload systems, development of core payload products and comprehensive solutions. It boasts leading R&D capabilities for space-ground integrated communication networks and on-orbit delivery capabilities for satellite payload systems. Peng Yuanyuan, Founder, Chairman and CEO of the company, said: "We are committed to making satellites the spatial cornerstone of the 6G space-ground integrated network, realizing global seamless connectivity with integrated and intelligent computing payload products, and enabling the information network to cover every corner of the Earth."
In terms of technology R&D, the company is deeply involved in the construction of low-orbit satellite internet, has completed the on-orbit verification of China's first spaceborne base station conforming to the 3GPP 5G NTN standard, and successfully developed China's first set of satellite IoT payload based on the 3GPP IoT NTN standard. To date, the company's core products have been iterated to the fourth-generation spaceborne base station, the second-generation spaceborne router and the second-generation satellite IoT payload. The company conducts in-depth R&D on products such as phased array antennas, integrated payloads and intelligent computing payloads, as well as satellite payload system solutions, and continues to lead the technological evolution of satellite communication payloads.
In terms of engineering capabilities, the company's products have successively completed multiple on-orbit verifications with the "China Mobile 01 Satellite" and the satellite internet technology test satellite, marking that core products including spaceborne base stations, spaceborne routers and satellite IoT payloads have fully entered the stage of engineering deployment, achieving a key leap from technical verification to large-scale mass production. The company has built a number of intelligent manufacturing bases, with an annual production capacity of 300 sets of core products, and has constructed 4 ground parallel verification systems, forming a full-chain engineering capability covering "R&D - testing - manufacturing - on-orbit operation".
In terms of intelligent innovation, the company is accelerating its evolution to "networked intelligent computing payloads". It has launched the AI/ML Lingyue enhanced model, which embeds on-orbit intelligent computing power on the premise of ensuring the highly reliable operation of communication payloads, builds a new generation of intelligent computing payload architecture featuring "software and hardware collaboration, computing while transmitting", improves the efficiency of a single satellite and releases the cluster capability through the networked "cluster architecture", enabling satellites to not only have communication capabilities, but also possess on-orbit data processing and intelligent decision-making capabilities, so as to lay a solid foundation for the space-based computing power network in the 6G era.
In 2026, the *Government Work Report* clearly put forward the requirement to "accelerate the development of satellite internet", and the "15th Five-Year Plan for the Development of Information and Communication Industry" issued by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology requires promoting the deep integration of satellite networks and terrestrial communication networks. The continuous release of policy dividends has provided unprecedented development opportunities for commercial aerospace enterprises. Under the background that commercial aerospace has been elevated to a national strategic emerging industry, Starshift Aerospace will continue to focus on the design of satellite communication payload systems and R&D of core products, explore new application modes of satellite internet, give full play to its leading technological advantages and industrial collaborative value in the 6G era, and contribute core strength to the high-quality development of China's commercial aerospace.
