[Asia Economy Reporter Cha Min-young] LG Uplus announced on the 12th that it has signed a business agreement with golf IT company VC to cooperate in the golf service business.

VC is a company that manufactures golf-related devices such as the golf rangefinder 'Voice Caddie', golf simulator 'Voice Caddie VSE', and golf watch 'T Series'. Its flagship product, the 'Voice Caddie Golf Watch T Series', has sold a cumulative total of 500,000 units.

Through this partnership, the two companies will combine LG Uplus's ultra-precise positioning and communication technology with VC's golf IT devices to provide ultra-precise location information services. Users will be able to accurately check the real-time location of the hole cup, which changes frequently during a golf game, as well as the actual distance between the pin and the golfer at the centimeter level, enabling more precise play.

LG Uplus provides an IoT-dedicated network optimized for mobile monitoring and ultra-precise positioning technology that achieves centimeter-level accuracy. VC plans to apply LG Uplus's solutions to its real-time pin location terminal and the digital golf course comprehensive guidance service 'Y1'.

The two companies completed service verification in February at 'Castlelex Seoul Golf Club' in Hanam-si, Gyeonggi-do, and 'Pureunsol Golf Club' in Pocheon-si. Starting in May, LG Uplus's solutions will be sequentially applied to VC's services at over 250 golf courses nationwide.

Kim Jun-oh, CEO of VC, said, "We plan to continue providing services that golfers truly need, such as autonomous driving robot carts using precise GPS and terrain information technology, through our partnership with LG Uplus."

Choi Taek-jin, Vice President of LG Uplus, said, "Through LG Uplus's ultra-precise positioning service, we will innovate the experiences of customers in various sports including golf and across different industries."
