[Asia Economy Reporter Cha Min-young] Samsung Electronics announced on the 31st that it will participate in the government-led '5G Convergence Service Project' and provide the 'Eum 5G (5G specialized network) solution' to public and private institutions.

Samsung Electronics will collaborate in five fields: energy, safety, water resource management, medical care, and medical education. In the public sector, it will supply the Eum 5G solution to Korea Electric Power Corporation, Korea Industrial Complex Corporation, and Korea Water Resources Corporation, while in the private sector, it will provide the solution to Ewha Mokdong Hospital and Samsung Seoul Hospital. Samsung Electronics plans to offer each demand institution a 'Eum 5G dedicated solution' through a consortium, including compact core, compact macro, and radio base stations supporting the specialized network dedicated frequencies of 4.7GHz and 28GHz.

Korea Electric Power Corporation will implement an intelligent power grid using Eum 5G. It will build a digital twin virtual substation and equip unmanned surveillance using autonomous robots, as well as an on-site monitoring system through wearable cameras. Korea Industrial Complex Corporation will establish a digital safety platform for industrial sites. Utilizing intelligent CCTV, it will enable monitoring and analysis of hazardous areas, fire detection, and AI-based monitoring of electrical and equipment overloads.

Korea Water Resources Corporation will implement smart water treatment plants and bridge safety management services based on digital twin technology and Eum 5G-based water management automation, allowing remote management of facilities and improving disaster prediction accuracy. Ewha Mokdong Hospital will provide intelligent medical services by projecting patients' CT 3D data onto the body using augmented reality (AR) technology and enabling remote collaborative diagnosis through real-time sharing of surgical videos and audio among medical staff.

Samsung Seoul Hospital will provide remote surgical education by transmitting and guiding surgical sites in high-definition video in real time. It will also introduce immersive medical professional education services such as robot rounds, emergency techniques, and ventilator training using augmented reality (AR) glasses.

Eum 5G Equipment

Jang Yong, Executive Director of Samsung Electronics Network Business Division B2B Group, said, "This collaboration with domestic public and private institutions is a result of combining Samsung Electronics' 5G technology and specialized network service commercialization know-how," adding, "Samsung Electronics will continue to create new added value and pursue digital innovation through 5G leadership and synergy between domestic and international companies."

Meanwhile, Samsung Electronics launched the first Eum 5G dedicated equipment in Korea supporting both 4.7GHz and 28GHz in May and previously supported the first domestic Eum 5G equipment at Naver's new headquarters.
