ismedia Co., Ltd / Equity Capital Markets

<p>Founded in 2002, <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/24222" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:24222:1">isMedia Co., Ltd (181340 KS)</a> provides CCM (compact camera module) testing devices. The term CCM is short for compact camera module. Basically, CCM is a camera module that is found on your smartphone. Yes, it is simply a smartphone camera. So, isMedia develops various testing devices for smartphone cameras. What is important here is that the company not only makes actual testing devices but also it programs its own software. Not only that, it also designs its own chips. That is, it does its own ASIC design. Frankly speaking, I haven't really seen many small tech companies in Korea who design their own ASICs. In fact, designing its own ASICs is not something that can be easily seen among Korea's small tech companies. So, this tells something about the true depth of this company's technological foundation.</p>
