LG Uplus-Potent Join Hands for '5G Smart Port'

[Asia Economy Reporter Koo Chae-eun] LG Uplus announced on the 10th that it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Potenit for '5G-based smart port logistics automation business cooperation.' This collaboration focuses on the 'logistics automation' sector, one of the core elements of 5G smart ports. They will build solutions combining Potenit's unmanned and automated logistics equipment technology with LG Uplus's 5G technology and jointly promote related businesses.

Specifically, they agreed to cooperate on ▲advancing 5G-based autonomous driving technology for unmanned equipment ▲linking unmanned equipment with 5G network infrastructure ▲building a control system based on mobile edge computing ▲remote control of unmanned equipment using ultra-low latency video transmission technology.

First, the two companies plan to design services for unmanned automation of port logistics equipment in the first half of the year, and in the second half, analyze the logistics equipment and environment on-site to specify applicable service scenarios. Based on this, from next year, they plan to gradually apply the developed technologies and conduct service demonstrations.

Seo Jae-yong, Executive Director of Convergence Business at LG Uplus, said, “We plan to present cutting-edge logistics automation solutions based on LG Uplus's excellent 5G infrastructure and Potenit's logistics equipment automation technology,” adding, “We will actively promote technology demonstrations and commercialization to transform domestic ports into smart ports.” Nam Hyung-do, CEO of Potenit, said, “This cooperation between LG Uplus and Potenit will be a stage where advanced 5G ultra-low latency communication technology and artificial intelligence autonomous driving technology converge.”
