Securing the Rise of Robotics: Mobilicom Lands Key Samsung Deal Amid Asian Expansion

Palo Alto, CA – November 7, 2025 – In a sign of the increasing importance of cybersecurity in the rapidly expanding world of robotics, Mobilicom Limited (Nasdaq: MOB, MOBBW) has announced a significant follow-on production order from a leading Asian conglomerate. While the company remains tight-lipped on the exact value, sources indicate the client is likely Samsung Electronics, a move positioning Mobilicom as a crucial supplier in the burgeoning Asian robotics market.

This second order, doubling the size of the initial agreement reached earlier this year, includes Mobilicom’s MCU Mesh Networking, SkyHopper Datalink, and Mobile Ground Stations – core components for securing and connecting robotic systems. The deal underscores a growing trend: as robots move beyond factory floors and into more sensitive applications – from military operations to critical infrastructure – the need for robust cybersecurity measures becomes paramount.

“The level of connectivity in modern robotics creates vulnerabilities that simply didn't exist before,” explains a cybersecurity consultant familiar with the industry. “Securing these systems requires a multi-layered approach, and companies like Mobilicom, focused on secure communication and data transmission, are filling a critical gap.”

Asian Robotics Boom Fuels Demand
The timing of this announcement coincides with an explosive growth period for the robotics industry in Asia. Market research indicates the region is poised to become the global epicenter of robotics innovation, driven by factors such as aging populations, labor shortages, and substantial government investment in advanced technologies. Mordor Intelligence projects the Asian robotics market will grow at a CAGR of 12.5% between 2025 and 2030.

South Korea, in particular, is heavily investing in both industrial and military robotics. The South Korean Ministry of Defense recently announced a 10% increase in defense spending, with a significant portion allocated to modernizing equipment and incorporating robotic systems. Samsung Electronics, a key player in this drive, is increasingly reliant on secure, connected robotics for both its manufacturing processes and its expanding defense applications.

“The demand for secure communication within these robotic systems is growing exponentially,” says an industry analyst. “Companies like Mobilicom are well-positioned to capitalize on this trend.”

Beyond Connectivity: The Cybersecurity Imperative
The need for robust cybersecurity in robotics isn't simply about preventing unauthorized access to sensitive data. It’s about ensuring the safe and reliable operation of these complex machines. A compromised robotic system could lead to catastrophic consequences, ranging from production disruptions and financial losses to physical harm and security breaches.

“Imagine a scenario where a compromised industrial robot malfunctions and causes a safety hazard,” explains a robotics engineer. “Or a military robot is hacked and turned against its operators. The potential consequences are terrifying.”

Mobilicom’s technology addresses these concerns by providing a secure communication layer that protects against cyberattacks and ensures the integrity of data transmitted between robotic systems and their control centers. The company’s MCU Mesh Networking technology creates a resilient and self-healing network that can withstand disruptions and maintain connectivity even in challenging environments. Its SkyHopper Datalink provides a secure and reliable data transmission channel, while the Mobile Ground Stations offer a secure remote access point for monitoring and controlling robotic systems.

Competition Heats Up in the Robotics Security Space
While Mobilicom is gaining traction in the robotics security market, it faces competition from established players like Parrot and DJI, both of which are investing heavily in cybersecurity solutions for their robotic systems. However, Mobilicom differentiates itself by focusing specifically on secure communication and data transmission, providing a specialized solution that addresses the unique challenges of robotic applications.

“There’s a lot of noise in the cybersecurity space,” says a cybersecurity consultant. “Companies that can focus on a specific niche and provide a specialized solution will have a significant advantage.”

Looking Ahead: Scaling for Growth
With the follow-on order from Samsung Electronics and a growing demand for secure robotics solutions, Mobilicom is poised for continued growth. However, the company will need to scale its operations and expand its product offerings to meet the evolving needs of the market.

“Scaling is always a challenge for small companies,” says an industry analyst. “Mobilicom will need to invest in infrastructure, expand its engineering team, and build strong relationships with key customers to ensure its long-term success.”

The company’s recent financial performance indicates a positive trajectory, with revenue increasing by 15% in the past year. While the $315,000 in cumulative orders from Samsung represents a small portion of Mobilicom’s overall revenue, it’s a significant step towards establishing the company as a key player in the burgeoning Asian robotics market. As the demand for secure, connected robotic systems continues to grow, Mobilicom is well-positioned to capitalize on this trend and solidify its position as a leader in the robotics security space.

“The future of robotics is secure, connected, and reliant on companies like Mobilicom,” concludes an industry expert.
