[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Heung-soon] LG Electronics announced on the 17th that it recently established a 'Home IoT (Internet of Things) Experience Lab' in a building with a total floor area of 550㎡ near LG Digital Park in Pyeongtaek, Gyeonggi Province.

The interior of the research center is set up like an actual residential space, including a living room, kitchen, bedroom, and laundry room, with smart appliances installed throughout. Recently, as the installation of products outdoors has increased, a terrace space for outdoor verification was also prepared.

LG Electronics created various network environments such as Wi-Fi, LTE, and 5G to make the space as similar as possible to the environment where customers actually live. In this space, products and services sold not only domestically but also overseas can be verified.

LG Electronics researchers can verify smart appliances currently under development or completed, as well as the interworking between these devices and the LG ThinQ application, building management systems (BMS) such as air quality management and power usage monitoring, and home IoT services for business-to-business (B2B) transactions at the Home IoT Experience Lab. It will also be used to enhance the user experience (UX) of the LG ThinQ app.

The company explained that the interior of the building is divided into several rooms, making it suitable for verifying network performance degradation that may occur when products or the ThinQ app are far from the network router.

Kim Jun-ho, Vice President and Head of the Quality Management Center at LG Electronics, said, "All products and services must be completed based on customer value," adding, "We will do our best to improve quality to introduce innovative products and services that impress customers."
