LGU+ Ensures Thorough Network Management During Chuseok Holiday

[Asia Economy Reporter Koo Chae-eun] LG Uplus will begin network optimization and operate a 24-hour integrated control center from September 30 to October 4 to prepare for the surge in call volume and data traffic ahead of the Chuseok holiday.

According to LG Uplus on the 21st, during this period, the company will enter an emergency operation system for holiday network management. An integrated control center will be opened at the Magok office for 24-hour intensive monitoring. LG Uplus pre-inspected the quality of 5G and LTE base stations located nationwide at highways, rest areas, SRT and KTX stations, bus terminals, and airports where network traffic is expected to increase. Based on this, optimization work such as expansion of switches and base stations has been completed.

Since an increase in data traffic and call volume is expected in specific areas, the number of on-site personnel will be increased in key locations to prepare for possible failures, and a standby dispatch system will be established. By analyzing the recurring trends of call volume and data usage during holidays every year, LG Uplus plans to actively protect customers at major highway toll gates, rest areas, and habitual congestion zones.

Kwon Jun-hyuk, head of LG Uplus NW Division, said, “Although fewer customers are expected to visit their hometowns compared to previous years due to social distancing caused by the spread of COVID-19, we have made thorough preparations to ensure stable service at all times. Through optimization work, we will provide more stable 5G services and deliver the best quality to customers through thorough network inspections.”
