The relatively small but powerful South Korean IT industry and its related enterprises are actively expanding their share of global markets, with their independently developed, globally competitive products with cutting-edge technologies. Some of the listed companies are particularly noticeable.
They are actively rushing into the global markets, especially in advanced countries such as the United States, to secure the source of growth toward becoming one of the world¡¯s leading enterprises in their specific areas.
The following enterprises are representative examples of this trend: ENBsoft, a Gwangju-based IT specialized company, successfully launched a new concept of eco-friendly IT software two years ago, the world¡¯s first of its kind, called ¡°HOTDOGU.¡±
E-Pia Tech, one of the leading wireless system companies in South Korea, has recently entered the U.S. market with its highly value-added manhole surveillance system that fully utilizes its independently developed wireless antenna technology, drawing strong attention in major U.S. cities, including Washington. D.C.
Suprema is also energetically knocking on the doors of global markets with its very practical product of access control and time attendance terminal dubbed ¡°Biostation¡± that delivers fast matching speed, rapid response and exceptionally low error rate. Powered by a sophisticated dual CPU system, the powerful 400MHz DSP is dedicated to a fingerprint matching process for fast and accurate performance, and the 200MHz RISC processor ensures uninterrupted device operation.
As various types of crimes are increasingly occurring all over the world, the effective utilization of CCTV has emerged as one of the crucial tools that can lower the crime rate significantly.
However, the existing CCTVs had the problem of not meeting the requirement of tracking subjects at a distance or at night.
In line with this new trend, a few years ago, PARAGONTECH has strategically released a long range IR illuminator, utilizing its independently developed state-of the-art semiconductor integrated technology and optical technology, thus causing a widespread sensation in the existing global markets for CCTV.
Recently, South Korea¡¯s exports of information technology (IT) products rose 1.7 per cent on-year in June, thanks to growing global demand for smartphones, according to a report released by the government.
South Korea has reportedly exported US$13.24 billion worth of IT products last month, compared with $13.02 billion worth of goods delivered abroad during the same period last year. The country¡¯s trade surplus in the IT sector came to $6.33 billion, surpassing the country¡¯s surplus of $3.25 billion for all industrial sectors, including the IT industry, in June.
