Dr. John Park, Dr. Andrew Combs and Dr. Christian Kunz founded ILT in 1990. It was incorporated in California. For most of its existence, ILT has been a research and development company specializing in information, communications and telephony technology. It has kept a very conservative stance on product development and restricted its advertising and marketing to customer published reviews and direct referral based sales. ILT prides itself on the fact that it has never lost a customer.

ILT's core competencies are expressed in the following technology and product timeline.

The company's first hallmark was the creation of its Agile Electronic Distributed Information Solution (AEDIS) which was used to create the first ISO standard, modularized electronic document imaging system for the Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO). This system evolved at the request of General Electric into a complete web-enabled Electronic Data Management System to catalogue and make detailed technical plans available to G.E's worldwide employees and strategic partners.

At the request of General Dynamics, ILT created the first Military Specification (MILSPEC) "supply-chain" management system to better catalog parts and technical drawings in support of their contracts with U.S. Department of Defense.

The firm is best known for its work on behalf of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) who required a method to make manuals and technical drawings of the Hubble Space Telescope available to over 8000 users at various universities and research facilities. Our AEDIS operating system is still on the job providing real-time data transmission eight years later, making the fruits of the telescopes' labors available worldwide.

When Samsung began work on the Korean F-16 fighter development program in 1994, it was ILT's technology that enabled the U.S plans and specifications to be converted into an easily portable Korean format. This created the first large-scale production project in a paperless environment. Our operating system later evolved into the data transmission system that enabled fighters manufacture to be completed using multiple vendors all of whom utilized ILT to link their different planning, procurement and supply systems to share information. A later adaptation of this system was used to help to expand and renovate the Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) system.

In 1995, ILT entered the Internet - telephony spectrum developing the world's first T1/E1 gateway that in addition to transmitting voice over internet protocol (VoIP) also provided real time fax and IP multiplexors.

For Korea and Japan, ILT evolved AEDIS to create and host the first communication middleware that in addition to linking computer networks, created a global electronic messaging system that linked various worldwide databases, proving text-to-speech (TTS) in English, Korean and Japanese language formats. ILT's www.unibox.com site remains one of the first to offer free universal messaging worldwide.

In response to several Telecommunications customers (ASTEL, SK Telecom, Hyundai), ILT developed a Convergent InterNetworking Controller (CINC) that synchronized communications between Public Switching Telephone Networks (PSTN) and the Internet (IP). This provided the means for local phone networks to switch long distance calls to different bandwidths on data networks in a more cost effective manner. As a result of this work, the company developed the first generation of its AECOS (Agile Enterprise Communications and Content Operating System). This is the first system to converge data in any format and link it to a variety of communication conduits providing worldwide access and exchange regardless of medium or means.

ILT in response to Japan Communications Inc, was the first to enable data to be migrated and ported to Internet capable mobile phones (I-Mode) and personal Digital Assistants (PDA's) like the Palm OS Operating system and Compaq I-PAQ. Our web messaging system is currently being deployed throughout Japan to I-Mode phone users.

ILT's customer list includes the likes of General Electric, Hyundai, TEPCO, Samsung, GE Medical Systems, China Telecom, TT Net, Japan Communications Inc, BART, NASA, U.S. Department of Defense, General Dynamics, Rockwell International and Toden Software Inc.
