Optimal base station antenna service range and direction can be determined


LG Uplus has commercialized the world's first '5G wireless network remote optimization' technology, which optimizes the wireless network by remotely adjusting the service range and direction of 5G base station antennas.

To this end, LG Uplus has also independently developed an Engineering Support System that automatically collects the quality of 5G wireless networks and automatically detects locations where service is poor from the collected quality data.
With this commercialization, LG Uplus can now automatically determine the optimal service range and direction of base station antennas to provide the highest quality 5G service in areas with poor service quality through automatic simulation, and easily apply this to 5G base stations remotely.

This makes it possible to optimize quality without field dispatch and shortens the time required to optimize 5G wireless network quality.

Until now, antenna adjustment, which determines the service range and direction of base stations, has relied on manual work. This makes it difficult to reflect the daily changing quality of wireless networks, and the significant amount of time required for quality analysis and antenna adjustment has limited the ability to provide optimal quality.

LG Uplus plans to first apply 5G wireless network automatic optimization technology to the Seoul metropolitan area and expand it to a nationwide network next year.

Park Song-cheol, Head of the Network Development Group at LG Uplus, said, “We have devised a plan to maintain optimal quality at all times by automating the identification of areas with poor 5G service quality and the change of base station service direction,” adding, “We will use the time saved from optimizing base station quality to provide the best 5G quality to our customers.”
