"Strengthening 5G Enterprise Network Competitiveness" LG Uplus Completes Demonstration of Integrated Private Network Equipment

Samsung Electronics One-box Demonstration Providing Efficient Solutions for Various Customer Environments
Simultaneous Integration of Packet Switching Equipment and Base Station Functions in One Server... Investment Cost Reduction and Latency Shortening

[Asia Economy Reporter Eunmo Koo] LG Uplus announced on the 22nd that it has completed the verification of Samsung Electronics' 'One-box' solution to strengthen the competitiveness of its 5G enterprise private network solution.

The One-box solution is a 5G enterprise network solution that integrates 5G packet switching equipment and the Central Unit (CU), a part of the 5G base station functions, into a single server, enabling customers to easily build enterprise private networks.

Recently, various enterprise solutions utilizing 5G's ultra-low latency and hyper-connectivity features, such as smart factories, have been developed, and the requirements for building enterprise private networks are becoming more diverse due to different network environments in each company.

To accommodate these diverse customer environments and requirements, One-box is composed of essential functions only, and applies container virtualization technology to reduce CPU and memory usage, resulting in equipment that is more than half lighter.

With lighter equipment, mobility and installation have become faster, and by integrating the CU equipment responsible for base station control functions or even network management functions, integrated operation between devices and quick response to failures have become possible.

Through this, enterprise customers can build optimized private networks while reducing investment costs, and construct networks that minimize traffic paths for ultra-low latency services. Additionally, the equipment light-weighting offers the advantage of minimizing space and power consumption when deploying private network equipment in enterprise data centers.

Lee Sang-heon, Head of NW Advanced Development at LG Uplus, said, “Through this verification, we have secured an optimized 5G enterprise private network solution that can meet the diverse requirements of enterprise customers. We will continue to proactively secure 5G solutions for enterprise customers to help enhance customer experience.”
