SwiftLink Forges Strategic Partnership with UNISOC to Propel 6G and Cell-to-Satellite Connectivity

Richmond, Canada – July 11, 2025 — SwiftLink Technologies Inc. is thrilled to announce a strategic Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with UNISOC (Spreadtrum Communications Co., Ltd.), a global leader in semiconductor solutions. This collaboration marks a pivotal moment, merging SwiftLink’s pioneering work in RF and satellite systems with UNISOC’s expertise in 5G/6G baseband modems. Together, we’re setting the stage for a new era of Cell-to-Satellite (C2S) connectivity and next-generation wireless systems.

Enabling the Cell-to-Satellite Future

At SwiftLink, we envision a future where connectivity seamlessly bridges terrestrial networks with non-terrestrial infrastructure, like low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites. Our partnership with UNISOC aims to build the industry’s most robust C2S architecture. By integrating our Extreme Broadband (EMB) RF transceivers with UNISOC’s advanced cellular modems, we’re unlocking ubiquitous, low-latency global coverage.

This C2S framework will support a wide range of critical applications, including:

  • Satellite-connected smartphones and wearables
  • Remote industrial IoT deployments
  • Emergency response systems in underserved regions
  • Defense and aerospace-grade communications

Joint Focus: Satellite, 6G, and Beyond

Our collaboration will prioritize the research, design, and productization of chipsets specifically tailored for:

  • 6G-ready architectures that support higher frequency bands, dynamic spectrum access, and AI-native networking.
  • LEO satellite terminal integration featuring low-power, high-performance transceiver and baseband combinations.
  • Hybrid network platforms enabling seamless roaming between terrestrial 5G/6G and non-terrestrial networks (NTN).

As the convergence of satellite and cellular networks becomes a critical global trend, SwiftLink and UNISOC are positioning ourselves to lead in enabling advanced space-ground fusion communication systems.

What We’re Building Together

Beyond our long-term vision, the MoU outlines immediate collaboration across several key areas:

  • Technical Specification Alignment
  • Co-validation & Prototyping for C2S Terminals
  • Reference Design Co-development
  • Satellite Testbed Performance Optimization
  • Joint Go-to-Market (GTM) for Satellite + 5G/6G Modules

This focused effort will significantly accelerate the time-to-market for embedded modules used in mobile phones, edge devices, industrial gateways, and satellite terminals.

Built on Trust, Innovation & Agility

This agreement establishes a three-year roadmap for strategic collaboration, founded on mutual respect, confidentiality, and shared commercial ambition, while preserving each company’s intellectual property and flexibility. Both parties are also committed to fostering stable working relationships, including a mutual non-solicitation clause for talent.

“We see Cell-to-Satellite architecture as the future of connectivity,” said Thomas Chen, CEO of SwiftLink. “Partnering with UNISOC gives us the scale and integration backbone to deliver groundbreaking satellite-capable wireless systems — from Earth to orbit.”

As we move toward the 6G era, SwiftLink is dedicated to providing the infrastructure, partnerships, and vision necessary to power a truly borderless, always-connected world.

Stay tuned – the future of connectivity is closer than you think.
