Mercury Selected for 2024 IoT Testbed-Based Demonstration Support Project

Mercury, a specialized information and communication equipment company, announced on the 18th that it has been selected as a project promotion company for the ‘2024 IoT Testbed-Based Demonstration Support Project’ supported by the Ministry of Science and ICT, the National IT Industry Promotion Agency (NIPA), the Incheon Free Economic Zone Authority (IFEZ), and Incheon Technopark (ITP).

The IoT testbed-based demonstration support project, in which Mercury was selected, aims to provide companies with demonstration opportunities through testbeds in situations where it is difficult to secure various demonstration resources, with the goal of early commercialization of new IoT products and services.

A Mercury official stated, “We applied for and were selected for the IoT fine dust collection device test project using the 447 megahertz (MHz) frequency in this project,” adding, “Through this, we are one step closer to developing and early commercializing an innovative IoT-based fine dust collection device and platform.”

Mercury’s IoT fine dust collection device has advantages over existing products in terms of higher security, low power consumption, and cost reduction, and it is very effective for fine dust management because it enables stable data communication in both indoor and outdoor environments. In particular, the company explained that the fact that Mercury’s self-prepared ‘Opportunity Network’ solution will be applied and verified for the first time in this demonstration project is of great significance.

A company representative said, “Being selected for this demonstration support project is a recognition of Mercury’s technological capabilities and innovativeness,” and added, “We will continue to develop various IoT products through ongoing research and development and technological innovation, contribute to building smart cities, and lead the IoT industry.”

Meanwhile, Mercury plays a leading role in the Wi-Fi field. It is also recognized in artificial intelligence (AI) technology, smart home, and Matter device fields, and since March, it has participated as a device manufacturer in the Intelligent Home (AI@Home) Alliance, where Samsung Electronics, LG Electronics, KT, and others serve as operating members, conducting various activities such as joint research and development of AI-based home solutions and standardization work.
