COMPANY

CT-based social safety SI company

Greetings

Smart Safety Innovation!!

Based on the first license plate recognition technology patent in Korea in 1992, we lead the market for license plate recognition application systems and social safety systems such as smart city / traffic / port / airport / road / national defense

ICT Leader KEONA

Since its foundation in 1988, Keona Information Technology has been promoting technology development and business in the social safety field based on the corporate philosophy of contributing to the entire nation.
Starting with Korea's first license plate recognition technology patent registration, we have discovered various application systems such as AVNI (Automatic Vehicle Number Identification), AVI (Automatic Vehicle Identification System), speeding enforcement at traffic lights, toll evasion prevention, and DSRC. We contributed to the commercialization of urban speed enforcement through the first development and implementation of multi-lane radar convergence detection technology in Korea. In the crime prevention CCTV market, which we entered into as part of business diversification, through technology development and bold business reorganization, we achieved the No. 1 market share in local government control centers. We went one step further and successfully settled in the social safety SI business market in areas such as ports and airports.
We live in an era of digital transformation that is continuously accelerating!! We will contribute to the nation by contributing with the great shifts in the technological paradigm of the future society by leading innovative technologies in the social safety field.
