Telepix, a comprehensive space AI solution company, announced on the 26th that it has passed the technology evaluation for a technology-specific listing and has begun preparations for an initial public offering (IPO) with the goal of listing on KOSDAQ in the second half of the year.
Telepix was recently recognized by a specialized technology evaluation agency designated by the Korea Exchange as a company with both high technological sophistication and business scalability based on satellite and AI convergence technologies. This evaluation is particularly significant as it is the first domestic space company to pass evaluation criteria specifically categorized into AI and big data. This recognition officially recognizes Telepix as a space AI infrastructure company focused on AI technology, moving beyond satellite hardware manufacturing.
Telepix has proven its technological competitiveness by independently developing hardware and software solutions capable of AI processing in space environments and securing on-orbit demonstration results. Tetraplex, Korea's first GPU-based onboard AI processor launched into space, has been operating stably in orbit for approximately 17 months since its launch in August 2024, and the AI CubeSat BlueBorn has also been operating normally for over a year. Furthermore, in June 2025, Telepix expanded its technological reach by launching Dinav, a next-generation AI star tracker for deep space exploration.
Telefix goes beyond satellite manufacturing and providing a single solution. Centered around its satellite-specific agentic AI solution, SatChat, Telefix has developed an integrated solution that automates the entire process—from satellite assembly and integrated testing to mission planning, mission control, satellite data analysis, and utilization—using AI. This is considered a technological evolution, transforming the existing satellite industry structure, which was project-based and personnel-centric, into an AI-driven, automated solution structure.
Through this, Telefix has built an AI-based, vertically integrated ecosystem that organically integrates satellite hardware, software, operational data, and AI algorithms. This structure reduces dependence on external technology, strengthens responsiveness to changing global regulatory environments, and serves as a foundation for securing long-term economic viability and quality competitiveness.
Furthermore, the AI-centric satellite architecture ensures efficiency and scalability even in constellation environments where multiple satellites are operated simultaneously. The business model's completeness and scalability were also highly evaluated, as the structure allows for increased data productivity and solution value as the number of satellites increases.
Telefix has secured a technological structure that can expand beyond the space industry to the defense industry, leveraging the massive data accumulated during satellite operations and AI-based decision-making and automation technologies. This allows the company to expand its business into satellite data-based AI services across diverse industries, including defense and security, environment and climate, and global monitoring. Furthermore, it has established a business model for AI satellite solutions that generate recurring revenue.
Telepix is also actively expanding its global market presence. Through strategic partnerships, Telepix is expanding its collaboration with the overseas space industry ecosystem. Last year, it successfully exported to the US and Europe, laying the foundation for global expansion. Building on this foundation, Telepix is striving to grow beyond a satellite operation technology company into a global space AI infrastructure company.
Telefix plans to proceed with the listing process in stages, building on this technology assessment. After listing, the company plans to prioritize advancing its AI technology for constellation satellite operations, expanding its satellite-specific AI integrated solution business, and expanding into overseas markets through global projects and partnerships as key axes of its mid- to long-term growth strategy.
Cho Sung-ik, CEO of Telefix, said that passing this technology evaluation is the result of official verification that the company's technology and business model are structured for sustainable growth, and that he will use the listing as an opportunity to accelerate technological advancement and global business expansion, leaping forward as a global AI specialized space solution company.
