Wavelabs Partners with IWYL... "Full-Scale Development of Communication Encryption Module"

[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunseok Yoo] WaveLabs, which possesses core technology in drone wireless communication, has partnered with a cybersecurity solution specialist to expand its competitiveness in the drone market.

On the 26th, WaveLabs announced that it signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with IYEL to jointly develop a communication encryption module to prevent hacking of drone communications.

The biggest challenge in drone communication is hacking. Drone hacking can cause issues such as privacy invasion due to video data leakage and disclosure of confidential information. The impact is even greater if drones used in public sectors such as the military and government are hacked.

To address these issues, WaveLabs decided to pursue joint development with IYEL, a security solution specialist utilizing quantum random numbers. IYEL is the world’s first company to develop and commercialize a non-disclosure (anti-eavesdropping) solution using quantum random numbers.

WaveLabs plans to add a quantum random number encryption module to the product it will showcase at ‘CES2022,’ the world’s largest consumer electronics exhibition held in January next year. Through this, it aims to introduce drone communication technology that resolves security issues and focus on expanding the market.

Additionally, since it is collaborating with Doosan Digital Innovation (DDI) for the development and production of 5.8GHz wireless communication products, it targets product release in the first half of next year.

A company official stated, “Based on our core technology in drone wireless communication and through collaboration with IYEL, we have laid the foundation to become a strong RF communication player in the drone market by addressing the biggest challenge of hacking. We will continue to develop various products and systems to grow into a leading company in the Fourth Industrial Revolution.”
