[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Hye-sun] LG Uplus is establishing a 5G smart campus in collaboration with Pusan National University.

On the 23rd, LG Uplus announced that it has completed the construction of ICT infrastructure, including next-generation wired and wireless network environments, integrated information security solutions, and integrated control systems, across Pusan National University's four campuses: Busan, Yangsan, Miryang, and Ami. This is the first step in gradually transforming Pusan National University into a 5G network-based smart campus amid the normalization of non-face-to-face education due to the impact of COVID-19.

Over the next five years, both parties plan to cooperate to create a smart campus by conducting various future education model demonstrations centered on 5G and cloud technologies, including providing 5G-cloud linked services, building a metaverse-based campus life environment, and establishing an Internet of Things (IoT)-based smart safety care system.

The 5G-cloud linked services include a 'cloud system' that allows access to campus systems anytime and anywhere using smartphones and laptops, and 'remote classes' that provide high-definition video streaming in real time without interruption. In particular, the remote class solution supports facial recognition, enabling real-time concentration monitoring and various customized functions such as discussion classes.

Additionally, by building a metaverse-based campus environment, non-face-to-face convenience facilities will be provided throughout university life from orientation, entrance and graduation ceremonies, remote lectures, clubs, to festivals.

A smart safety care system that prevents potential safety accidents on campus by utilizing IoT sensors and devices will also be operated. The system includes a framework for rapid response to safety incidents such as building fires, and plans to create an environment that can prevent safety accidents in advance by using the collected data in the future.
