Intelligent Wave Inc. (IWI)

Intelligent Wave Inc. was founded in 1984 and pioneered the software industry in Japan. Our name, "Intelligent Wave," is derived from our ambition to trigger a shock wave ushering in a new era. Since the foundation, we have pursued and developed systems non-stop for 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, which has been our distinguished advantage. Our technologies such as network connection, authorization, and fraud detection are indispensable for people to use credit cards. Accordingly, we take an important role in promoting a cashless society where credit card users feel safe and secure in their electronic payments. These systems, also, have occupied a lion's share in the Japanese market for over 30 years. In recent years, we utilize our nurtured technologies and are creating a foundation for digital transformation in social infrastructure for broadcasting, power supply, transportation, etc. For broadcasters, we provide essential monitoring, fault generation and orchestration tools to ensure the level of quality and reliability of broadcasting data.　 The technology has already been adopted by leading Asian and European broadcasters. We help them continue their journey from analogue to digital Under the management ethos: to create safety and convenience for the information society of the next generation, we will contribute to society by offering high-speed, safe, high-quality, and convenient IT infrastructure.
