Q&A Batch (1–4 of 4)

Q1 — Ryan Koontz

Topic: Stellar Blu 商业执行、SkyEdge IV 平台演进、国防业务管道
Key points:
- Stellar Blu 同比正增长，已实现 EBITDA 盈利；毛利率改善源于供应链优化及用内部单元替换外部单元
- Line-fit 单元（波音）已获机舱认证，等待完整认证（预计本季末或 Q3 初），首批交付预期在 Q4
- SkyEdge IV 为软件定义平台，转向商用现货硬件 + 虚拟化需 3–4 年，与 5G NTN 计划同步
- 国防：移动/便携方案需求上升（受中东冲突推动），DataPath 已获欧洲 $16M 订单；订单到收入需 6–9 个月，大型项目更长
Mgmt stance: bullish — 对 Stellar Blu 增长及国防强劲管道乐观，明确指引收入将在 2026–2027 年释放

Q2 — Christopher Quilty

Topic: 订单交付周期、便携方案来源、AWS 虚拟化演示、Geo 卫星设备订单、Stellar Blu 盈利前景及战略交易
Key points:
- 交付周期可协商加快，但受制于高成本定制库存
- 便携方案主要来自 DataPath，调制解调器业务同样增长；AWS 演示为在 AWS 云上运行虚拟化网关
- 新 Geo 软件定义卫星：订单通常在发射前 6–12 个月，预计今年获取大部分订单，部分已纳入指引
- Stellar Blu 已整合，Line-fit 交付将提升毛利率与 EBITDA；R&D 转向下一代 ESA 技术；国防业务预期超 $10M/年
- 一项大型战略交易进展慢于预期，预计 2026 年完成，首单可能超 $35M，潜在规模超 $100M
Mgmt stance: bullish — Stellar Blu 盈利改善明确，国防新业务启动，战略交易虽延迟但仍有高潜力

Q3 — Sergey Glinyanov

Topic: 5G NTN 需求与部署时间、秘鲁业务收入节奏
Key points:
- 5G NTN 市场兴趣强烈（OneWeb、IRIS² 等均提及 5G 调制解调器），但整体需求尚未成熟；已启动 5G 网络模块研发，希望年内与大型客户达成合作
- 5G NTN 全面部署预计需 4–5 年（参考 IRIS² 进度）
- 秘鲁：预计下半年获得大额合同并确认收入；收入波动大（短期实施 + 长期经常性收入），今年经常性收入基数高于往年
Mgmt stance: neutral/bullish — 5G NTN 长期看好但短期需等待
