About Us
Ken Smart
Ken Smart, founder and president of Eomax has been engaged in the electro-optics business for over 33 years. Ken has maintained a wide range of interests throughout his long career and holds patents related to industrial UV inspection, orthopaedic surgery, and the wireless architecture associated with the Company’s Wolf Pack systems.
The core of Ken’s business approach is borne of a life-long interest in human interactions with technology - and how creating efficient technology interactions can beneficially impact the user experience. In his work overseeing the development of Wolf Pack, Ken has spent years in the field talking to operators about the challenges and opportunities of technology. In the high-risk environments that Wolf Pack users often work, there is no greater job satisfaction for Ken than having an opportunity to provide tools that enhance operational effectiveness and help keep people safe in difficult conditions.

OUR MISSION
​Technology Philosophy
For almost 20 years, Eomax has been committed to the unique, highly flexible Wolf Pack system architecture that, among its many benefits, provides defence and homeland security operators with an unparalleled expansion and upgrade path. In every aspect of Eomax product planning, engineering, and design, the mission is to make every Wolf Pack system module compatible with every Wolf Pack system – past, present and future.
Introduction of the Digital Evolution system interface marked a major turning point in Wolf Pack development. The latest Wolf Pack Alpha system maintains the same look and feel, ergonomic design, and component interchangeability of the original Wolf Pack system while introducing next generation lossless broadcast quality video and advanced remote control functionality. The flexibility of Digital Evolution allows Eomax to continue development of new capabilities within the Wolf Pack system architecture for years to come.

Over years, Eomax has assembled a team of exceptionally talented people that are responsible for executing the Company’s technology vision. At locations in Toronto, Canada, and Aarhus, Denmark, technical personnel in the fields of electronic design, computer code development, and mechanical engineering are busy working on the next generation of Wolf Pack capabilities.
