[THE INVESTOR] SK Telecom said on May 1 that it has launched three gadgets using Internet of Things technology.

Keyco is an IoT-based keychain with an embedded GPS chip for pets that can be controlled by a smartphone, allowing the owner to pinpoint the location of their pets, the company said. The gadget is equipped with an alarm to tell users if their pets are more than a certain distance away or having an emergency, it said.

Smart TocToc is an IoT-powered alarm for a vehicle that instantly alerts the user’s smartphone if there is an impact on the parked car.

IoT Blackbox is a combination of video, audio and GPS for a vehicle that sends a text message to an owner‘s smartphone to better monitor the car remotely.
