Hyundai AutoEver is pushing to introduce Ieum 5G for the first time domestically in the automobile production sector. Hyundai AutoEver plans to establish a car production performance testbed at Hyundai Motor’s Uiwang Research Center, integrating various technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), autonomous mobile robots (AMR), augmented reality (AR), and the Ieum 5G network. The Ministry of Science and ICT expects that based on this, the Ieum 5G network will be established at Hyundai Motor’s dedicated electric vehicle factory in the United States, and it is encouraging that Ieum 5G is expected to spread throughout domestic automobile factories and other areas in the future.


LS ELECTRIC plans to build Ieum 5G in intelligent factories that manufacture factory automation control devices using intelligent surveillance cameras (CCTV), robots, sensors, and more. The existing Ieum 5G period telecommunication service provider, Nable Communications, plans to additionally establish a performance testbed within the company using robots, AR, and other technologies.


On April 14, the Ministry of Science and ICT also completed the supply of Ieum 5G frequencies to existing Ieum 5G period telecommunication service providers Wizcore and CJ OliveNetworks for the expansion of an open RAN research and development testbed at Yonsei University and for logistics management using PDAs and tablets in a warehouse in Icheon, respectively. All five companies were allocated 100 MHz bandwidth each in the 4.7 GHz band.



Choi Woo-hyuk, Director of the Radio Policy Bureau at the Ministry of Science and ICT, stated, “The significance of this Ieum 5G frequency supply lies in the introduction of Ieum 5G in core industrial sectors such as automobile production,” and added, “We will actively support the expansion of Ieum 5G applications across various industrial fields to promote exports and employment and to create more added value.”
