We watch how industries change and research the technology the field needs.

In unmanned vehicles, as Physical AI extends into the field operation of drones, we are developing a ground control system (GCS) and onboard software for the aircraft. In addition to multi-aircraft control and mission planning, the GCS handles Sim-to-Real in a single environment: AI models tested in simulation are applied to real aircraft.

On the companion computer that acts as the brain of the drone runs DX-Sky Drone (onboard software), which handles communications, video, flight recording and onboard AI inference. We carry what we have learned from commissioned projects for the Korea Land and Geospatial Informatics Corporation, the Korea Aerospace Research Institute and the Korea National Park Service into both software products and keep improving them.

In the maritime and vessel field, we have researched technologies that extend land-based mobile communications to the sea and reduce the information gap between ships and shore. Through 3GPP standardization and R&D, we have examined the maritime application of LTE and 5G and the requirements for long-range communications, and have laid the communications and data foundation for autonomous vessels and smart maritime services.

We currently collect LTE, VSAT and VDES link status together with vessel information on operating ships and analyze changes in communication quality during voyages, including LTE signal quality and VSAT SNR and loss rate. Using the accumulated data, we are comparing and validating route selection policies for multiple networks that consider latency, loss, available capacity and service priority, and continue to expand the scope of this research.

In public safety and emergency response, we have researched multilingual delivery methods so that foreign residents in Korea and Korean nationals abroad receive emergency information in time, and have proposed accessibility technologies that allow alerts to be received regardless of disability or device environment. More recently, we have extended our research to technologies that use CAP and IoT to turn emergency information into automated facility responses and individual risk notifications.

We research and validate the technologies that turn emergency information into real response, including foreign-language support and message length limits for emergency alerts, validation and filtering of CAP-based alerts, suppression of unnecessary actions caused by repeated alerts, integration with IoT and automation environments, and mobile alerts that take user location and risk level into account.

In IoT standards and testing, IoT has been one of our core research areas since our founding in 2013. Centered on oneM2M, we research technologies that verify the interoperability of IoT platforms and devices and the standards conformance of products, and we have built development environments in which data exchange and standards conformance between devices and platforms can be checked during development.

Our experience in oneM2M standardization and GCF testing and certification led to CertMate. CertMate has been applied to the accredited oneM2M test environment of the Telecommunications Technology Association (TTA), the test environment for the smart city open data hub of the Korea Electronics Technology Institute (KETI), and the e-IoT platform profile validation environment of the Korea Electric Power Research Institute. Our research focuses on turning the requirements of standards documents into test environments that can be used in actual product validation and certification procedures.
