[Asia Economy Reporter Park Hyesook] Incheon Technopark (Incheon TP) and Incheon Transit Corporation are collaborating to establish demonstration infrastructure and support companies in order to revitalize the Internet of Things (IoT) test field project.

On the 13th, the two organizations announced that they will help IoT companies grow by building IoT test field demonstration infrastructure and services and providing demonstration resources.

Incheon TP is promoting the IoT test field project supported by the Ministry of Science and ICT, and Incheon Transit Corporation was selected as a demonstration demand organization for this project in May.

Accordingly, the two organizations plan to build an IoT test field around Incheon National University Station on Incheon Subway Line 1 with an investment of about 600 million KRW.

Considerations include screen door CCTV monitoring, environmental condition information, fire detection, user location-based (Beacon) in-station guidance information, real-time train operation information services, and the establishment of demonstration infrastructure.

Additionally, this site will be provided for three years to allow promising small and medium-sized enterprises, ventures, and startups with the latest IoT technologies and services related to various subway issues to complete demonstrations, supporting company growth.

An Incheon TP official stated, "Through demonstrations at the IoT test field, we will resolve subway issues and provide high-quality services to passengers," adding, "To expand opportunities for companies to demonstrate new technologies and services, we will also promote the establishment of IoT test fields at airports, ports, and other locations in the future."
