Adelaide, Australia — Inovor Technologies today issued a statement to clarify recent media reporting that referenced an Australian National University (ANU) academic and alleged foreign university connections.
Inovor refutes the information, related to Inovor, contained in the referenced articles as factually incorrect. Inovor’s engagement with ANU and the academic in question (Professor Nan Yang) is limited to an academic study. No intellectual property, hardware, software, designs, or research outputs from this study are used in any Inovor systems, components, satellites or any Defence related projects.
Inovor has longstanding engagements with multiple Australian universities and research institutions. Across all such engagements, the company maintains a forward-leaning and robust security posture. University technologies, software, ICT systems, or networks do not interface with or have access to Inovor’s internal networks, systems, or mission-critical infrastructure.
Specific factually incorrect remarks from the article:
1. “A scientist building satellite technology for an Australian military contractor”
2. “Professor Yang’s role is to develop a next-generation software-defined radio (SDR) system”
3. “Professor Yang is now an academic lead in a $180 million space program”
All technology developed, built, and deployed by Inovor is designed, engineered, and manufactured exclusively by Inovor and its staff within its secure facilities and network. No external academic, including the professor referenced, is building technology with or for Inovor, nor are they involved in the development of any Inovor hardware, software, systems, or mission capabilities.
The arrangement in question is strictly limited to an academic, research-focused study and does not extend to technology development, system design, manufacturing, or operational delivery of any kind. The assertion that this is a $180 million program is incorrect. Neither the professor in question nor Inovor received any sum approaching this amount.
Inovor wishes to reassure its mission partners, customers, and stakeholders that there is no risk to any existing or future projects or missions arising from the inaccurate media coverage in question. Inovor remains fully committed to the highest standards of quality, security, governance, and transparency across all aspects of its operations and technology delivery.
