IMS 2025

Rapidtek Technologies Inc. (Ticker: 6980) is participating in the International Microwave Symposium (IMS2025), held in San Francisco, USA, from June 17 to 19. This year, Rapidtek is showcasing its “Wi-Fi over mmWave” theme for the first time, unveiling an integrated mmWave solution that features in-house developed 8x8 Ka-band phased array antennas combined with Antenna-in-Package (AiP) modules and their real-world performance data. Demonstrations through video and static displays highlight the solution’s capabilities for stable connectivity and high-speed data transmission. The dual-polarized antenna design enables simultaneous transmission (Tx) and reception (Rx) on the same PCB, offering size flexibility and system integration advantages over traditional designs. This significantly improves spatial configuration efficiency and overall performance. Additionally, Rapidtek’s proprietary solution is highly compatible and can be integrated with various Wi-Fi systems. It has already been adopted by a leading Taiwanese vendor using Wi-Fi 7 chipsets, demonstrating strong integration capabilities and R&D strength.

In the satellite communication domain, Rapidtek continues to expand its mmWave applications. On-site, the company showcases a variety of phased array antenna products designed for Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN) and Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite communications. These include Ka-band Tx/Rx antennas developed in collaboration with the Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI), and an 8x8 Ku-band antenna developed by Rapidtek and deployed aboard the Nightjar, a 3U CubeSat. Several antenna modules co-developed with top Taiwanese vendors are also on display. These products are compatible with customers’ chosen RF front-end chipsets, showcasing Rapidtek’s flexibility in phased array antenna design and its robust system integration capabilities. The solutions help clients quickly deploy NTN applications and accelerate global rollout efforts.

For the first time, Rapidtek is publicly exhibiting its non-magnetic component products at IMS, targeting cutting-edge applications such as space communications, measurement equipment, and quantum technologies. These non-magnetic components address the needs of applications with stringent magnetic interference constraints, such as quantum computers and medical devices. Using non-magnetic materials suitable for low-temperature environments, Rapidtek introduces a full lineup of non-magnetic component solutions, opening a new front for Taiwanese firms in high-end RF components. This demonstrates Rapidtek’s comprehensive technology roadmap covering everything from terrestrial to space applications and from mmWave to quantum technologies.

To meet diverse RF system design needs, Rapidtek is also launching a range of RF accessory solutions, including high-frequency coaxial cables, RF switches, frequency converters, and various RF connectors. Supporting frequencies up to 110 GHz, these products offer low loss, high stability, and environmental resilience. They are ideal for 5G base stations, ground stations, and aerospace applications, helping customers improve system reliability and signal integrity, thus enhancing overall system-to-interface performance.
