[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunseok Yoo] Gaon Media announced on the 12th that it will supply artificial intelligence (AI) set-top boxes to ETISALAT, the largest telecommunications operator in the Middle East and Africa region with 150 million subscribers.


This product is AI-based and is a high value-added product combining set-top boxes and speakers. It recognizes voice to provide various services such as broadcasting, music, and assistant functions, and also supports Internet of Things (IoT) hub functionality.


Gaon Media's recent contract win is attributed to its technology and know-how, having developed the world's first AI set-top box and commercialized over 3.4 million units domestically. Gaon Media, which already supplies general terminals to ETISALAT, has secured the status of sole vendor for the video product line.



A company official stated, "Since the launch of the AI set-top box in 2017, we have continuously received numerous prototype requests and inquiries from overseas telecom operators," adding, "Starting with supply to the Middle East region, we will accelerate the development of new overseas markets and establish our position as a global AI solution specialist."



Meanwhile, since last year, Gaon Media has been pursuing new business through Gaon Broadband, a network solutions specialist, and Mobike, a smart IP content platform company.
