GCT R”) and MTH, Inc. (“MTH”), both of which are located in South Korea. GCT R serves as our research and development center. In addition, we utilize separate sales offices for local technical support and sales in Taiwan, China, and Japan. Our current product portfolio includes RF and modem chipsets based on 4th generation (“4G”) Long Term Evolution (“LTE”) technology, offering a variety of chipsets differentiated by speed and functionality. These include 4G LTE, 4.5G LTE Advanced (twice the speed of LTE) and 4.75G LTE Advanced-Pro (four times the speed of LTE) chipsets. We also develop and sell cellular Internet of Things (“IoT”) chipsets for low-speed mobile networks such as eMTC/NB-IOT/Sigfox, and other network protocols. Notably, we leverage our proprietary knowledge and patents, which have been proven in 4G products to employ up to eight receiving antennas in sub-6GHz wireless bands, extending the receive-coverage and throughput by more than two times compared to the case of using two or four receiving antennas. We also employ up to four transmitting antennas, enhancing the transmission coverage and throughput compared to using only one or two transmission antennas. Several top tier wireless operators have engaged the Company as a result of this unique technology. Building on this competitive advantage, we are currently developing RF and modem chipsets based on 5th generation (“5G”) new radio (“NR”), which is at the core of the next-generation mobile communication technology. 5G technology provides speeds up to ten times faster than traditional 4G LTE communication, significantly reduces latency and supports essential capabilities for the Fourth Industrial Revolution, such as high-speed, low-latency, and highly reliable and cost-effective internet connections for technologies like artificial intelligence, autonomous driving and the metaverse. Therefore, 5G communication semiconductors are considered a crucial and indispensable technology for the Fourth Industrial Revolution, particularly for enabling the metaverse, where social, economic and cultural activities take place in virtual environments. Our 5G chipsets, in particular, leverage the advantages of our proven patented technology which significantly improves performance through the use of multiple antennas for both transmission and reception. This makes them highly suitable for 5G-based ultra-high-speed wireless internet services, such as fixed wireless access (“FWA”). 5G-based ultra-high-speed wireless internet offers cost-effective, high-speed internet services with a short latency time, enabling a new class
