It provides innovative communication methods that works even in environments where traditional wireless communication is not feasible. The company’s goal is to emphasize the importance of wireless connections and contribute to creating a more connected world.&nbsp; 3. Major productsWireless communication within metal structures presents significant challenges. Existing UHF systems for wireless communication require the installation of repeaters, signal splitters, marine antennas and cables more than 2 kilometers (1.2 miles) long. Despite these extensive requirements, UHF systems often have dead zones that disrupt seamless communication. ZNTECHNOLOGIES’ metalVoxⓇ system offers a fully wireless setup that eliminates dead zones, providing reliable communication throughout the vessel. On LNG ships, metalVoxⓇ requires installation only twice — once in the ship's stern and once in the bow — ensuring comprehensive wireless coverage. 4.

Innovaid connects dental clinics and laboratories worldwide through its Dentlink service.

Korea’s dental laboratories are renowned for their competence in making quality prosthetics like crowns at a cheaper price. With Dentlink, it has enabled Korean laboratories to effectively export prosthetics like crowns to dental clinics in the United States, Australia, Canada, New Zealand and Britain.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Dental clinics can send scanned data of patients’ teeth and the connected laboratories can produce quality prosthetics like crowns, bridges and implants.&nbsp;&nbsp;

It is at the forefront of digital dentistry at a time when cross-border orders for prosthetics have become possible thanks to the digital scanning of patients’ teeth.&nbsp;&nbsp;

It hopes to use digital technology to support Korean dental laboratories export quality prosthetics overseas. With its digital dentistry domain and a dedicated IT team, it can help Korean laboratories overcome long delivery distances, language barriers, time differences and payment issues when exporting their products.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Dentlink is already exporting prosthetics made from Korean dental laboratories to some 150 dental clinics in the United States, Australia, Canada, New Zealand and Britain.

Just 15 months after launching its service, the company was able to bring in 350 million won ($262,400) per month in revenue and is growing rapidly.&nbsp;&nbsp;

It hopes to expand its team by building new offices in the United States and Australia for better customer services while also tapping into global dental laboratories outside of Korea.&nbsp;&nbsp;

It also hopes to diversify its product portfolio from its current prosthetics offerings.

JMWAVE's main business focuses on Repower, which uses technology to convert internal combustion engine cars to EVs. Starting with partnerships in North America, it plans to expand into the global logistics mobility market.

Ideas that shape the future ultimately come from people. JMWAVE believes in the value of each individual and in shaping the future with people, rather than boasting about technological advancements. It isn't just looking for talent — it is looking for dreamers who will envision their dreams with JMWAVE.

JMWAVE is not just a vehicle manufacturing company. It is also not a company that claims to lead ESG trends or that its products will instantly make the Earth greener. While others emphasize flashy vehicle features and changes that may come in the future, it changed its way of thinking and focused on practicality.

While everyone has been focused on manufacturing EVs, JMWAVE found a solution in the existing automobile market. It provides solutions that take EV conversion, a field that hasn't been the focus of much attention, to another level. Repower allows it to electrify internal combustion engine cars, offering a new perspective for the future of society.&nbsp;

Repower converts internal combustion engine trucks into EV trucks. It is the first in Korea to acquire safety certification for converted EVs and is providing reliable products to its customers.

JMWAVE is also the first to develop swappable batteries for EVs, enhancing the usability of EV trucks. Its battery-swapping system helps minimize vehicle downtime and the time spent charging batteries, improving efficiency for the logistics and transportation industries and meeting their needs.

JMWAVE also meets additional consumer needs by offering affordable price points while completing vehicle conversions in a short time. It takes only three days to convert internal combustion engine cars into EVs, minimizing the period vehicles can't be used. This is especially helpful for logistics and delivery companies seeking to cut costs and increase efficiency.&nbsp;&nbsp;

It also offers customized solutions based on customer demands and is continuously enhancing its technology through ongoing research. It plans to sign partnerships with logistics companies and local governments, and aims to install more battery-swapping stations in easily accessible areas.
