Ministry of Science and ICT: "Kyung Hee University is the First Domestic University for Ieum 5G"

Kyung Hee University Collaborates with LG CNS
Establishing and Utilizing Testbeds for Intelligent Factories in Laboratories

[Asia Economy Reporter Cha Min-young] The Ministry of Science and ICT announced on the 22nd that it has completed the supply of frequencies for I-eum 5G (5G specialized network) to LG CNS, Korea Aerospace Industries, Government Complex Management Office, and LG Electronics.

The Ministry of Science and ICT is promoting the nationwide expansion of I-eum 5G according to the 'Digital Strategy of the Republic of Korea.' With this frequency supply, the number of institutions designated with I-eum 5G frequencies has increased to nine, and a total of 18 institutions have been allocated or designated I-eum 5G frequencies at 26 locations.

The first domestic university to receive this is Kyung Hee University. Kyung Hee University, in collaboration with LG CNS, introduced I-eum 5G to establish a testbed such as an intelligent factory within the laboratory. By building an I-eum 5G network, research institutions within the university can implement and verify intelligent factory operation services.

Korea Aerospace Industries will digitize manufacturing processes such as product lifecycle management (PLM) and technical data management of the next-generation fighter jet (KF-21), which had to be managed with paper documents due to wireless security vulnerabilities, through I-eum 5G.

The Government Complex Management Office and LG Electronics plan to apply I-eum 5G in facility management and intelligent factory fields respectively, using robots, sensors, and intelligent cameras.

The Ministry of Science and ICT decided to supply the entire requested frequency band (100 MHz bandwidth) in the 4.7 GHz band to ensure that the I-eum 5G services planned by the applicant institutions can be provided smoothly.

Park Yoon-kyu, the 2nd Vice Minister of the Ministry of Science and ICT, stated, “It is significant that I-eum 5G was introduced for the first time in a university through this frequency supply, laying the foundation for revitalizing research and development of I-eum 5G convergence services.” He added, “We will support the formation of an I-eum 5G convergence service value chain specialized for industrial demand by expanding the introduction of I-eum 5G in industry and academia.”
