Lite-On Technology established its ECES (Edge Computing & Energy Solution) department following a split of its Information and Consumer Electronics division. ECES General Manager Hu Anhua stated the department will focus on US and European brand clients and major networking equipment manufacturers, targeting edge computing power supply opportunities in low-orbit satellites, enterprise AI workstations, and 5G base station networking. The company projects that low-orbit satellite and enterprise AI workstation revenues will show multifold growth over the next 3 years, surpassing existing IT product revenues to become new growth drivers for the group. Lite-On Technology has been expanding from consumer products like keyboards and mice into 5G base stations, AIoT wireless communication modules, and networking equipment, recently becoming a major supplier to a US low-orbit satellite manufacturer.
Lite-On Technology Restructures Information and Consumer Electronics Division
Lite-On Technology's Information and Consumer Electronics department originally focused on IT keyboards, mice, and gaming consoles. The division gradually expanded into 5G base stations, AIoT wireless communication modules, switches/routers, enterprise network switches, and wireless access points. The company has successfully positioned itself as a major supplier to a US low-orbit satellite manufacturer in recent years.
With emerging edge AI applications gaining traction and low-orbit satellite shipments growing rapidly, Lite-On Technology restructured to connect cloud (AI data centers) to edge computing. The original keyboard and gaming console applications from the Information and Communications business group will be organized into a separate new department.
ECES Department Targets US and European Enterprise Clients
General Manager Hu Anhua stated that the ECES department focuses on low-orbit satellites, enterprise AI workstations, and networking domains. The department selected top-tier clients including US enterprise-grade IT infrastructure, personal computer technology brand manufacturers, and major networking equipment companies. The department develops and manufactures edge power supply standard platform products.
For AI workstations, the company targets 5KW parallel connection of 6 units forming 30KW power supply products. The product portfolio includes medical, industrial, and 5G networking power supply products to address power requirements connecting cloud infrastructure and ground equipment.
Low-Orbit Satellite Business Shows Multifold Q4 Growth
Lite-On Technology serves as the primary supplier of outdoor satellite communication terminal and ground network equipment power supplies for a US low-orbit satellite manufacturer. As the US manufacturer accelerates business expansion, Lite-On Technology's low-orbit satellite business has grown rapidly.
The company expects Q4 low-orbit satellite power supply shipments to achieve multifold growth. A design change for low-orbit satellite power products is scheduled for 2027, and the company will reflect this in ASP (average selling price). The company maintains an optimistic outlook for continued high growth in the low-orbit satellite business.
Company Projects Revenue Doubling Within Three Years
General Manager Hu Anhua stated that ECES currently operates from a low base. The company expects both low-orbit satellite and AI workstation revenues to show multifold growth over the next two to three years. The target is for ECES operations to surpass current Information and Consumer Electronics revenues by 2029.
