iKKO Partners with MediaTek and SIMO to Launch MindOne Built on the MediaTek MT8781 vSIM connectivity platform and SIMO’s patented Virtual SIM™ (vSIM) technology, MindOne is designed to enable instant global fallback mobile data connectivity across 140+ countries when primary Wi-Fi or physical SIM networks are unavailable or unstable—supporting a more resilient Always-On AI experience. [Las Vegas] — iKKO today announced a strategic collaboration with MediaTek and SIMO, a provider specializing in global redundancy mobile data connectivity, to jointly introduce MindOne, a new generation card-sized AI smartphone built around one principle: Always-On AI. As AI evolves from a feature into an always-present personal intelligence, pervasive connectivity becomes foundational. AI must be ready when inspiration strikes, when tasks arise, and when communication is needed, without struggling to navigate available Wi-Fi, searching for hotspots, or shopping for reliable roaming SIMs. By integrating MediaTek’s connectivity-first platform capabilities with SIMO’s global redundancy connectivity layer, MindOne is designed to help maintain AI service availability when primary networks become unreliable. This enables users to access AI-powered recording, translation, search, communication, and productivity tools globally in diverse real-world network conditions. AI Is Not a “Feature” — It Is a State of Being Present In many smartphones, AI appears only when connectivity is available. But mobile life is unpredictable—at airport gates, in unfamiliar cities, minutes before a meeting, during international calls, or the moment an idea emerges. MindOne aims to move AI from occasionally available to continuously present: - Always available: no waiting for Wi-Fi, no hotspot hunting, no roaming anxiety - Always responsive: speak, capture, or note instantly—AI responds in real time - Always present: more continuous experiences across countries, scenarios, and networks When connectivity fades into the background, AI can take the foreground. That is the foundation of MindOne’s Always-On AI. Building the Connectivity Foundation for Always-On AI with vSIM For MindOne, connectivity is not a standalone feature; it is the infrastructure that enables AI. When data connections fail, AI is reduced to offline tools. When connectivity feels as natural as breathing, AI can operate as a true personal intelligence. Through vSIM and SIMO Virtual SIM™, MindOne is designed to deliver: - Instant fallback mobile data connectivity when primary Wi-Fi or physical SIM networks are unavailable - A supplemental connectivity layer for cross-border and on-the-move scenario - No SIM swapping and no complex roaming setup - A connectivity mechanism designed to support continuity of AI services in constrained network condition The result is a simple, intuitive experience: wherever you are, AI is there—whenever you need it, AI responds. |
