LG Uplus announced on the 25th that it signed an equity investment agreement with Quopin to commercialize the 'ultra-low latency video transmission solution', a key 5G remote control technology.

The equity investment was made by three investment companies, including LG Uplus, Partners Investment, Honest Ventures, and Dongyu Technology Investment, and the stake in Quopin acquired by the investment companies through this agreement is 28%.

Last year, LG Uplus conducted about 10 remote control demonstrations using 5G-based ultra-low latency video transmission technology, including ▲remote control of Busan Port cranes, ▲remote control of excavators with Doosan Infracore, ▲detection of the work environment of LG Electronics logistics robots, and ▲real-time monitoring and control of 5G autonomous vehicles with Hanyang University.

Quopin's ultra-low latency video transmission technology is an essential solution for 5G remote control services that allow real-time device control while viewing video transmitted from a remote location. Currently, Quopin's technology is considered to be the most advanced in the field of 5G-based high-compression, ultra-low-latency video transmission.

LG Uplus plans to make a preemptive investment and exclusively utilize Quopin's technology for a limited period of time to expand its services in areas requiring 5G-based remote control. In particular, the company aims to dominate the 5G B2B service market, including unmanned heavy equipment operation, drones, automobiles, and robot control.

Quopin expects to generate over 30 billion won in sales by 2023 through the development and mass production of 5G ultra-low latency video transmission commercial chips, and investors also believe that Quopin has great potential for growth through overseas expansion as it accumulates various business references with LG Uplus.
