MediaTek × iKKO: A Platform Designed for Connectivity-First Devices

MindOne is powered by the MediaTek MT8781 platform, a chipset platform optimized for low power consumption and reliable connectivity, well suited for connectivity-first smart devices. With MediaTek’s technical support, iKKO completed MindOne’s hardware and software development on this platform, enabling system-level optimization for connectivity management across diverse environments.

“MindOne is not about figuring out how to get online, it’s about making sure AI doesn’t disappear when connectivity becomes unreliable. We want AI to stay with you like time itself: you speak, it understands; you record, it summarizes; wherever you go, your work and exploration continue.”

— Echo Chan, CEO of iKKO

“vSIM enables device makers to embed global, multi-carrier fallback connectivity directly into next-generation devices, improving resilience, reliability, and reach when primary networks fail. MindOne demonstrates how this capability supports iKKO’s always-available AI hardware.”

— Jing Liu, CEO of SIMO

Supported by its patented Virtual SIM™ technology, SIMO provides configuration-free fallback data connectivity across 140+ countries, helping MindOne maintain a more resilient Always-On AI experience across complex and unpredictable network environments. Availability may vary by country and local network conditions.

“AI becomes truly meaningful only when it is always available. Our vision for MindOne is clear: AI should never disappear simply because the network becomes unreliable. By integrating MediaTek’s chipset platform with SIMO’s global fallback connectivity, MindOne delivers a more resilient Always-On AI experience, one designed to work across countries, environments, and real-world conditions.”

— Echo Chan, CEO of iKKO

“In the era of AI-powered devices, connectivity is no longer just a utility, it is the foundation of intelligent experiences. SIMO Virtual SIM™ provides a global fallback connectivity layer across 140+ countries, helping maintain AI service continuity when Wi-Fi or primary carrier networks become unreliable.”

— Jing Liu, CEO of SIMO

“MediaTek’s chipset platforms are designed to enable reliable connectivity, low power consumption, and strong performance for AI and IoT devices. Through our collaboration with iKKO and SIMO, MindOne demonstrates how multilayer connectivity and system-level optimization can deliver a dependable Always-On AI experience for users worldwide.”

— CK Wang, VP and GM of the IoT Business Unit, MediaTek

MindOne: Card-Sized, Yet Built for a Global Always-On AI Experience

Staying true to iKKO’s product philosophy of ultra-lightweight, ultra-portable, and ultra-intelligent, MindOne integrates into a card-sized form factor:

- Instant global fallback mobile data connectivity when primary Wi-Fi or cellular networks are unavailable or unstable (Powered by MediaTek platform + SIMO vSIM)

- Dual-system experience: Android + iKKO AI OS

- Local AI tools designed for work, study, travel, and focus

- Low-power, all-day battery life in an ultra-portable design

MindOne makes connectivity a natural part of the AI experience—so AI can truly move with the user.
