At present, urban citizens enjoy convenience of being easily connected to each other by a well-established telecommunication network in the urban areas. However, during the time of unpredicted disaster like the typhoon, floods, or hurricanes, communication infrastructure can be damaged which could lead to a major communication interruption. In addition, mountainous and rural areas have poor network connection with only a few established infrastructures due to its geographical limitation. To solve this problem, a Korean company that is specialized in the development of wireless communication t

As the size of network environment is increasing and, network-centered era is approaching, buyers are no longer bound to specific network vendors. Thus, led by communication companies, research and development of network function virtualization has started in order to reduce investment and operating cost for expensive network equipment. NFV(Network Function Virtualization) is considered a new generation of network that could replace the existing network technology.

The market for portable spectrometers is steadily growing as optical spectrometers, which used to be only available in laboratories, are now easy to perform on-site and are applied to various fields such as food, medicine, and beauty. In this regard, Korea’s leading optical fiber company has developed a small spectroscope that works wirelessly on smartphones using a flat waveguide. The company built its flat waveguide based on its own silica optical particle technology.

The hydrogen road maps issued by leading countries have contributed to the increase in the number of hydrogen-powered vehicles around the globe. However, although hydrogen is a carbon-free energy carrier, not everyone is convinced by hydrogen fueled cars as for the fact that steam reforming process still causes massive emissions of greenhouse gases. This continues to register an unprecedented surge in demand for 100% environmentally-friendly ways of producing hydrogen which includes renewable energy utilization, development of carbon dioxide reduction technology etc.
