Global Konet Co., Ltd., a high-tech company based in South Korea, and OSB Group JSC of Vietnam have officially signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to collaborate on technology development and equipment manufacturing for integrated LEO (Low Earth Orbit) and GEO (Geostationary Orbit) satellite communication systems.
The signing ceremony was attended by Chairman Nguyen Hong Son of OSB Group along with directors and heads of several business units, while Global Konet was represented by CEO Youngon Kim and other senior executives.
Global Konet is a cutting-edge technology firm specializing in electronically steered array (ESA) antennas and advanced satellite communication solutions. The company develops and manufactures compact, mobile satellite antennas (COTM – Communications On The Move) capable of automatically tracking satellites even in harsh environments.
Its products are compatible with GEO, MEO, and LEO satellites and are used in diverse sectors including aerospace, maritime, defense, security, UAVs, and IoT. The antennas are designed to deliver high-speed, low-latency satellite connectivity anywhere in the world, supporting demanding applications such as real-time broadcasting, video conferencing, and remote control systems.
In addition to high-performance data transmission, Global Konet also provides tailor-made solutions, based on customer-specific requirements, and emphasizes professional, flexible after-sales support.
Chairman Nguyen Hong Son of OSB Group stated:
“We are honored to partner with a distinguished company like Global Konet. This MOU reflects OSB Group’s strong commitment to advancing high-tech capabilities, not only to meet domestic demands but also to seize global export opportunities. We are confident that this strategic partnership will result in practical value and high-performance products that are globally competitive.”
Under the agreement, Global Konet and OSB Group will initiate joint technology projects and co-develop specific collaborative programs aimed at achieving the highest levels of technical progress and efficiency. Both parties also expressed intent to explore additional areas of cooperation to expand their business scope and mutual value.
The primary objective of this partnership is to jointly develop and manufacture cutting-edge satellite communication equipment — including integrated LEO and GEO systems — for deployment across multiple industries. The two companies plan to leverage their respective strengths to expand market influence, enhance technical capabilities, and address critical challenges facing the satellite industry. This partnership also aims to strengthen international cooperation networks and extend regional market reach.
CEO Youngon Kim of Global Konet commented:
“Vietnam is a rapidly developing technology market with enormous growth potential. We believe OSB Group is an ideal strategic partner for expanding our business across Southeast Asia.”
This partnership between OSB Group and Global Konet signifies more than a simple collaboration. It reflects OSB’s long-term vision for technological independence, international market expansion, and structured growth in Vietnam’s satellite communications sector. With shared strategic alignment and mutual trust, the two companies plan to continually expand the scope of their cooperation and create exceptional technological value for both domestic and global markets.
