With over 16 years of experience in IT manufacturing, MPGIO has developed a name for itself as being specialists in the development, manufacturing, production, and sales of computer products within the competitive Korean market. Building on a firm foundation built by loyal consumer demand for MP3 players, PMPs, mobile phones, automobile dashboard recorders, and Tablet PCs, MPGIO had the vision to see the need for quality, affordable educational devices around the world. Customizability, reliability, and price competiveness are the key factors which have allowed MPGIO to rise above the competition and gain dominant market share (60%) in the smart education market against otherwise dominant players including Samsung, LG, and ECS. MPGIOs distinct ability to pair MPGIO devices with business partners who create and distribute quality content meant that MPGIO was able to provide a complete system for private and public educators alike. In 2015, MPGIO once again looked ahead to evolving customer tastes and needs. What we saw was that the need, particularly in the tablet market, for a modern, light, and powerful mobile device for students designed from the start to be used as a study device for hours on end, year after year. Not only did such a device not exist, but alternatives were sold either for far too high a premium for cash-strapped school districts or were constructed so cheaply they were better used as weights and bookends. MPGIOs solution has been to form a partnership with Intel where the goal is to design and create an education purposed tablet loaded with Intel Education Solutions (IES) software by Q3 2015. Merging MPGIO know-how with Intel architecture and a wide array of amazing software will make education truly smart, bringing classrooms around the world into the 21st Century.
