Draft:TelePIX

TelePIX Co., Ltd.(Korean: 텔레픽스 주식회사) or TelePIX is a South Korean space tech company founded in 2019, providing products and services in the earth observation satellite industry.

On the Upstream, TelePIX provides optical payloads for satellites of various sizes, ranging from 6 unit nanosatellites and 100 kg microsatellites to large satellites weighing over 1 ton. These state-of-the-art EO/IR payload systems are based on off-axis TMA design, producing very high-resolution imagery with a wide field of view (WFOV). TelePIX also provides On-Board Processor (OBP) for customers looking for edge computing capability in space.

On the downstream, TelePIX provides satellite imagery processing and data analytics services. With key know-how in asset detection and spectral analysis, TelePIX provides customized products for various sectors including maritime environment, infrastructure, agriculture, and defense.

In October 2023, the company signed an agreement with Polish space company, SatRev to supply satellite imagery data through SMEs support project of Korea Aerospace Research Institute(KARI). This groundbreaking deal marks the first time that South Korea is exporting observational imagery data from its proprietary satellite. The core of this agreement is TelePIX's commitment to provide satellite imagery data, specifically focusing on "Blue Carbon Monitoring" from its in-house designed and built satellite, the "BlueBON." This compact 6U-class satellite is scheduled to launch in 2024.

In addition, TelePIX partnered with Mexican Geo-Info Company, Thrusters Unlimited for Latin America and Caribbean Market Expansion. This partnership marks a significant milestone in TelePIX's strategic expansion efforts into global markets, including Central and South America, as well as Europe. The collaboration between the two companies has been a topic of discussion for the past year, and the MOU serves as a formalization of their shared vision for the future. As part of the agreement, TelePIX will provide essential information on satellites tailored to Thrusters Unlimited's requirements, including VAS for vessel detection and argassum detection. In return, Thrusters Unlimited will contribute crucial market insights and potential customer leads for satellite and VAS services in the Latin America and Caribbean market.
