Plat'Home provides computer-related products centered on Linux, an open-source operating system. The company operates as a single business segment, and segment information disclosure is omitted. Its business is primarily divided into three categories: proprietary computers, computer-related products, and services and other.

For proprietary computers, Plat'Home sells small servers equipped with Linux OS. These servers feature heat and dust-resistant design and achieve ultra-low power consumption, making them ideal for applications requiring continuous operation. The product lineup includes "microservers," "network appliances," and "IoT gateways."

In computer-related products, the company supplies computer peripherals, network-related components, software, and sensor devices sourced from domestic and international suppliers. It also sells optional accessories and mini keyboards for its proprietary computers. These products are offered to both corporate and individual users.

In services and other areas, Plat'Home provides infrastructure construction support for IoT systems and information communication networks. Specifically, it offers system design, consulting, SaaS services, product configuration, installation, maintenance and support, and license management. The company is also pursuing entry into the Web3 business sector and working to monetize new business areas.

Plat'Home leverages open-source technology as a growth strategy, with a particular focus on the IoT market. The company secures competitive advantage by providing high-quality products based on Linux and building ecosystems with telecommunications carriers and cloud service providers. Additionally, the company expands its product offerings across diverse industries through partnerships with other companies.

The company prioritizes achieving operating profitability as its primary goal, after which it will establish specific management metrics. In its network business, the company concentrates management resources on network appliances and positions software and services as core business pillars to stabilize revenue. In particular, the company is transitioning toward business models less affected by semiconductor shortages.

The company is also focusing on Web3 business as a new growth area, advancing business development based on results from pilot projects. The company strengthens its technological capabilities through development of an IoT data trading platform and joint research with Keio University, preparing for full-scale Web3 business operations. In 2024, the company will establish a Web3 Business Development Office and promote alliance strategies.

Plat'Home is transitioning toward a software and services-based business model to address the expansion of the network and IoT markets and society's digital transformation. The company enhances revenue by deploying high-value-added applications on microservers and promoting long-term usage. To strengthen its financial foundation, the company is raising capital through new share issuance to prepare for business expansion.
