By Natasha Li / Staff reporterLocal electronic component maker Lite-On Technology Corp (光寶科技) yesterday said it was optimistic about its smart life and application strategic business unit, predicting 30 percent year-on-year growth in sales next year. “We expanded the production capacity at our Kaohisung plant a while back,” Chang said, adding that the company has clear order visibility for smart video surveillance systems that reaches to the second half of next year. With telecommunications companies rolling out 5G base stations and applications, the unit is focusing on antenna calibration solutions, which reduce maintenance costs for base stations, Lite-On said. The Lite-On unit also has an LED streetlight segment, with sales under the brand Leotek contributing about 10 percent of the unit’s revenue, Chang said. The unit’s networking segment and Internet communications module segment contribute another 30 percent apiece, while industrial automation makes up the remaining 5 percent, Chang said.
