Intellian Technologies is opening a huge new manufacturing facility in the United States, with CEO Eric Sung calling it “a defining milestone” for the company. It is Intellian’s first large-scale international manufacturing campus. The Orange County facility is now fully operational to meet what Intellian sees as the surging global demand for ground infrastructure from the expansion of Non-Geostationary Satellite Orbit (NGSO) satellite networks. Intellian announced the opening of the U.S. facility, June 17.

The facility significantly boosts the company’s global production capacity, supplementing its existing two manufacturing campuses in Seoul, South Korea. The new California campus also serves as Intellian’s new U.S. headquarters. This strategic investment aims to address the increasing market need for supply chain resilience in the satellite communications sector. By bringing large-scale U.S. production closer to key markets, Intellian said it plans to ensure highly secure, scalable, and responsive supply chain for customers worldwide.

“The explosive growth of NGSO and multi-orbit networks has made advanced, reliable ground infrastructure more critical than ever. In addition to significantly increasing our capacity to keep pace with this demand, our new campus enables us to provide our partners with greater supply chain resilience and agility. Ground segment technology is the backbone of these new networks, and we now have the scale and pace operators require to successfully deploy our gateway antenna systems to complete their networks,” Sung, said in a statement.
