In March 2026, WUPATEC took part in a meeting with the Taiwanese space sector organised by Aerospace Valley at B612 in Toulouse. A few months later, WUPATEC was selected to join the 2026 TAcc+ International SpaceTech Startup Supporting Program in Taiwan.
Irene de Gruijter represented Wupatec at the MWC Pitch Contest in Barcelona — and won. A recognition rooted in a concrete engineering challenge: managing frequency transitions at the edge of 5G and 6G.
High in the Chilean Andes, at 5,000 meters above sea level, a bold idea took shape: building a giant “cosmic eye” capable of capturing the faintest whispers of the universe: cold molecular clouds, newborn stars, and distant galaxies from the early cosmos. That idea became ALMA, the Atacama Large Millimeter/Submillimeter Array, one of the most powerful radio telescopes ever built.
The FR3 range will play a central role in 5G-Advanced and future 6G systems. It combines high data rates and low latency (which are features of FR1 and FR2 bands) with the ability to penetrate buildings and maintain connections over longer distances than mmWave (or FR2). All this, while avoiding the drawbacks of the current bands in use.

The collaboration between three leading companies has enabled the launch of a new generation of radar systems capable of accurately detecting small moving targets in a one-kilometer radius, regardless of climatic or environmental conditions.
