WIZnet core technology, ‘TCP/IP Offload Platform’ is ASSP and silicon-proven IP for custom ASIC, which best fits OS-less device and is compatible with any Embedded OS. Also, its fully hardwired TCP/IP algorithm guarantees line speed by on-the-fly processing architecture that is independent of main processor. Moreover, it eliminated main processor’s overhead by offloading TCP/IP processing and hence enhances overall system performance especially in multimedia streaming applications.
WIZnet hardwired TCP/IP chip has been adopted worldwide both in OS-less devices (esp. DVR, Remote Control) and OS-based (esp. STB, DTV). It provides higher performance and stability than any software internet connectivity solution.
10 years have passed by since I casually ventured on an enterprise. It survives now in luck. It seems that our founding philosophy of Necessita (a fortune of the time), meaning being able to differentiate the appropriate time to wait, to go forwards, or to leave, is the main reason as to why this venture still firmly stands.
Last decade, it was the time to wait. During that time, we practiced well-intentioned failures thoroughly. To practice well is to prepare well. That is, a man who can practice well is a prepared man. We say in confidence that we NOW know how to practice well; who our customers are and what they need; what marketing and PR is and how to systemize it. We have become ‘quick learners’. Are we not originally ‘wizards’? Opportunity only knocks on a prepared man’s door!
Now, I am going to venture into a new decade. It is the time to go forward. Opportunity awaits. This upcoming decade is the time to build the world of WIZwiki.net.
‘Go global and localization!’
Its strategy is ‘天外有天’.
‘There is a sky beyond a sky.’
Yang Yuanqing, chairman of the Lenovo group, labeled the ‘Chinese Bill Gates’, set the said proverb as his life motto in order to self-control his personality that easily achieves arrogance after a victory. A similar Korean proverb is ‘There may be blue and better blue.’
There is a sky beyond a sky! This reflects our willingness to learn. Our enthusiasm springs from the humbleness of the saying ‘The nobler, the humbler.’ and the spirit of the Web 2.0 age of openness, sharing and participation.
In the global market, there are plenty of specialized experts in a local market. To allow those experts to craft application-specific and value-added designs to our platform in order to realize its full potential- that is our strategy for a global standard.
Only when we are self-motivated can we do our job best. Use that motivation to fuel your imagination to its fullest. WIZnet will provide the stage where your imagination can freely roam.
Come together! Communicate and collaborate with each other on the platform that WIZnet presents. We will play in perfect harmony so we can all have the best of fun and achieve our dreams.
We will together build a wiki community, WIZwiki.net, based on the standardized platform and the brand of WIZnet to share our spirits.
"WIZnet Global Standard"
Are you ready for a new decade?
We certainly are.
