This MoU is to create synergy between I-ON’s proven unstructured data management software and UComm’s analysis devices and other hardware like a golf range finder (Voice Caddie). It is obvious that the golf industry in South Korea is quite outdated in terms of ICT convergence and both companies take this opportunity to collaborate aiming at ICT development and application to the golf industry.


This 10year-long agreement means a lot to both companies in that their cooperation will move toward more fundamental development of the industry as well as prepare the fourth industrial revolution of Korean golf industry

UComm’s hardware Voice Caddie collects golfer shot data and I-ON will provide real-time streaming service with the data using its ticket and event marketing service TAMM under carrier network by SK Telecom, Korea’s largest telco.

Unlike the other industries, ICT in golf industry is still in its infancy while golfers have significant intelligence and experiences in ICT utilization, which means both companies have a lot to do to bring it up to more sophisticated level.

This year would be a test year with games with KPGA, KLPGA and the joint work will successfully be commercialized next year.
