Fusic Signs MoU with Nanyang Technological University's SaRC to Jointly Explore Ground Station Technology

Fusic Inc. (Tokyo Stock Exchange Growth, Headquarters: Fukuoka City, Fukuoka Prefecture, President and CEO: Sadayoshi Noutomi, hereinafter "Fusic") is pleased to announce that it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (hereinafter "this MoU") with the Satellite Research Centre (hereinafter "SaRC") at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (hereinafter "NTU") to jointly explore ground station technology under the theme of "Future Ground Station."

The signing ceremony was held on July 6, 2026, at the space business conference "SPACETIDE 2026" in Tokyo.

Background and Objectives of the MoU

With the rapid expansion of small satellite constellations, the requirements for satellite ground station operations are becoming dramatically more sophisticated. Challenges that are difficult to address with conventional ground station systems, such as real-time satellite communication data analysis, simultaneous control of multiple satellites, and automation of anomaly detection, are increasing, making the exploration of ground station technology combining cloud and generative AI a global imperative.

Against this backdrop, SaRC, the satellite research center of NTU, a leading science and technology university in Singapore, and Fusic, which specializes in cloud and generative AI implementation centered on AWS, have signed this MoU to combine their expertise and jointly explore the potential of ground station technology.

Overview of the MoU and Future Collaboration Possibilities

Based on this MoU, the two parties will first begin joint exploration in the following areas:

- Joint research and exploration of ground station technology

Starting with the above initiatives, the two parties will also discuss the possibility of collaboration in the following areas:

- Examination of possibilities for advanced ground station operations utilizing cloud and AI technologies

- Establishment of industry-academia collaboration models between Singapore and Japan

- Discussion on human resource development in the cloud and AI fields and the social implementation of research results
