WaveLabs, Korea's First Drone Module Obtains Overseas Certifications in North America and Europe... "Securing a Foothold for Overseas Market Entry"

[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunseok Yoo] Wave Labs, a company specializing in the development of drone wireless communication equipment, is making a full-scale entry into the global drone market, gaining recognition for its technology not only domestically but also overseas.

On the 20th, Wave Labs announced that it has obtained overseas certifications for drone RF wireless communication technology from four organizations: FCC (USA), IC (Canada), CE (Europe), and RCM (Australia).

Wave Labs had previously acquired the domestic KC certification in October last year for the first 2.4 GHz wireless communication module for drones in Korea. Based on this overseas certification acquisition, the company plans to actively target the global drone market by supplying drone modules not only to North America and Europe but also to Australia.

Seonghyuk Ahn, CEO of Wave Labs, said, “Through this overseas certification, we are the only domestic company globally recognized for drone RF wireless communication technology,” adding, “Based on domestic and international certifications, we will accelerate market preemption by supplying wireless communication modules to both the domestic and global drone markets.”

Wave Labs is expected to have an opportunity to promote its wireless communication technology domestically by participating in the ‘2021 Drone Show Korea Expo’ held at BEXCO in Busan from the 29th, together with Doosan Mobility Innovation.

Additionally, Wave Labs is participating in the Mungyeong urban regeneration project, including the establishment of a hydrogen drone test bed, and plans to sign a main contract related to the urban regeneration project with Mungyeong City soon. Through this, Wave Labs is expected to develop and introduce the first drone-based control system in Korea.

Furthermore, Wave Labs is developing a 5.8 GHz wireless communication module capable of transmitting real-time video captured by drones. The 5.8 GHz module is a next-generation drone communication module produced by only a few companies overseas, capable of transmitting data exceeding 1M byte per second. This technology allows real-time monitoring of drone-captured footage, enabling security control, surveillance, fire prevention, and accident prevention, drawing attention as an advanced technology.

Seonghyuk Ahn, CEO of Wave Labs, explained, “With the relaxation of regulations in the domestic drone market, the RF wireless communication module market is expected to grow rapidly, increasing demand for Wave Labs’ products,” adding, “Especially as local governments nationwide are promoting the establishment of wildfire monitoring and suppression systems using drones, we will develop and supply the 5.8 GHz module as soon as possible.”
