Ingrasys Technology Inc (鴻佰科技), a company under the corporate umbrella of Hon Hai Technology Group (鴻海科技集團), has teamed up with Israel’s Ramon.Space to produce devices for computing in outer space.
Under the deal, Ingrasys, a server, storage and high-performance computing (HPC) accelerator development specialist, would develop and manufacture Ramon.Space’s high-volume space computing products for sale around the world, Hon Hai said in a statement on Tuesday last week.
The partnership would result in a production line for the industry’s first high-volume products for computing in space, and combine Ingrasys’ manufacturing strength and the Israeli company’s space technology capabilities, the statement said.

Ingrasys has an AS9100 certification, the gold standard for quality and safety management in the aerospace industry, and the production line is preparing to start manufacturing the outer space computing devices, hon Hai said.
Ramon.Space’s radiation-hardened computing platform has low power requirements and durable design, which provides process, storage and connectivity capabilities, said Hon Hai, known globally as Foxconn Technology Group (富士康科技集團).
It can design devices equipped with artificial intelligence and machine-learning capabilities, paving the way to produce space computing products, Hon Hai said.
“As the trusted leader in computing infrastructure in the terrestrial world, venturing into space computing infrastructure would be another area for us to expand as we continue to see the tremendous potential in space,” Ingrasys CEO Benjamin Ting (丁肇邦) said in the statement.
“We are excited to collaborate with Ramon.Space, the market leader, to pioneer the next phase of the space industry and make space computing accessible to everyone,” Ting said.
Ingrasys’ direct parent, Foxconn Industrial Internet Co (FII, 富士康工業互聯網), a Shanghai-listed provider of intelligent manufacturing integration solutions, has entered the space computing business and is in talks with two potential clients, an industry source said.
The source said that FII has a space-computing research and development team of 300 staffers based in Taiwan, and is scheduled to launch spacecomputing servers in 18 to 24 months to meet growing demand for micro-data centers for use in outer space.
Cairo’s new monorail slices across the city skyline, running above the familiar chaos of blaring horns and aging buses’ exhaust fumes that mark rush hour below. The US$4.5 billion monorail, opened this month, is among Egypt’s most prominent new transport projects, part of a debt-funded infrastructure drive criticized for sapping state finances while bringing limited benefits to most of the country’s 109 million people. “It feels like you’re in a different country,” said Ramy Sayed, a restaurant manager, aboard a driverless Innovia 300 train. “No noise, no traffic, we’re not used to this.” The eastern line runs 56km from the bustling middle-class
Taiwanese firms have increased investment in the Philippines in recent years as Manila’s ties with Washington deepen and global supply chains continue to shift away from China, an expert at the Chung-Hua Institution for Economic Research (CIER, 中華經濟研究院) said yesterday. The Philippines had not been among Taiwanese investors’ top choices in Southeast Asia, CIER Taiwan ASEAN Studies Center director Kristy Hsu (徐遵慈) said at a seminar in Taipei. However, Taiwan’s investment in the country has grown significantly since the COVID-19 pandemic, reaching US $257 million last year, a high in recent years, she said. Although Taiwan’s total investment in the Philippines still lags
Intel Corp regards Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC, 台積電) as a longstanding partner, as the US chipmaker would continue outsourcing production of advanced chips to TSMC, Intel chief executive officer Lip-Bu Tan (陳立武) said yesterday. “I don’t look at people as competitors. I look at the collaboration... Nvidia is also, you know, a good friend,” Tan told a news conference following his keynote speech at the Computex trade show in Taipei. “It’s a very trusted partnership for us... We are a big, top customer for them, and we’re going to continue doing that,” he said, referring to TSMC, the world’s largest foundry
Artificial intelligence (AI) agents would supplant smartphones as the center of people’s digital lives, fundamentally reshaping personal devices and driving a major computing upgrade cycle, Qualcomm Inc CEO Cristiano Amon said yesterday. In his keynote speech for this year’s Computex trade show in Taipei, Amon said that the rise of "agentic AI" — AI systems capable of reasoning, planning and carrying out tasks autonomously — would transform how people interact with technology across phones, PCs, vehicles and wearable devices. Describing the technology as the next major evolution in computing, Amon said that "2026 is the year of agents.” For decades, smartphones have sat
