Our product is called “Piez Ultra”, a kind of advanced triaxial MEMS piezoelectric accelerometer, which is used in earthquake early warning (EEW) system. It utilizes high-performance sensing material based on cutting-edge fabrication technology, aerosol deposition. Compared to accelerometers for seismic measurement used in leading EEW companies, Piez Ultra has the lowest noise floor with low volume and cost. We aim to provide Piez Ultra to EEW system integrators and our target end-users are mainly the government. Our business model is in two components: product for sale and patent licensing. Through self-controlled manufactory, we can control the quality and cost of our product. And for this business model, our major target customers are those in the Asian Pacific area, like mainland China, Japan, Indonesia. Besides, we can also do patent licensing to those EEW companies, like GeoSIG, with mature manufactory systems and the ability in accelerometers.
