LG CNS Allowed to Use Eeum 5G Frequency Including 28 GHz Band
Expectations for Activation of Customized 5G Convergence Services by Demand-Driven Enterprises
The Ministry of Science and ICT announced that it completed the allocation of Eum 5th generation (5G) frequencies and the registration of telecommunications business for LG CNS on March 30.
This LG CNS case is the second allocation case pursued following the previous Naver Cloud case.
LG CNS applied for frequency allocation including the 28 GHz band, and the Ministry of Science and ICT stated that it allocated the entire requested frequency band, including the 28 GHz band, considering that the services planned by LG CNS are highly likely to utilize large-scale traffic.
Eum 5G is a communication network that utilizes 5G frequencies in specific zone units to enable operators who wish to provide 5th generation convergence services to directly build 5G networks.
LG CNS announced that it plans to install Eum 5G within LG Innotek’s Gumi Plant 2 to provide services such as inspection of defective products through AI vision cameras, operation of unmanned transport vehicles, and provision of virtual reality and augmented reality (VR/AR) drawings to workers.
In addition, LG CNS this frequencyTaking this opportunity, the introduction of Eum 5G into various 5G convergence services as well as intelligent factories will be fully launched.
The frequency allocation fee was calculated on a land and building basis, at a significantly lower cost compared to mobile communication frequencies allocated on a nationwide basis, in accordance with the characteristics of Eeum 5G utilizing frequencies.
Vice Minister Cho Kyung-sik of the Ministry of Science and ICT explained, “We plan to fully expand Eum 5G into various fields such as intelligent factories, medical, logistics, safety, and energy this year,” adding, “In particular, in this LG CNS case, artificial intelligence, unmanned transport vehicles, internet-based resource sharing (cloud), and virtual and augmented reality were connected as one through Eum 5G.”
In addition, it was stated, “We expect that customized 5G convergence services tailored to specific demand companies will be activated in the future, with digital transformation technologies such as the metaverse, mixed reality, and digital twins connected around Eum 5G.”

SK Telecom First Applies AI-Based Network Operations at Gwanghwamun K-Pop Concert
SK Telecom announced that it applied an AI-based network operation system for the first time at a large-scale K-pop concert held in the Gwanghwamun area of Seoul on March 21st, managing communication quality throughout the event. Mobile data usage during the three hours before and after the concert reached 12.15TB, approximately doubling compared to the same time slot the previous weekend. SK Telecom monitored traffic using the AI system 'A-One' in five-minute and 50-meter units to respond to potential overload situations, while also operating temporary communication facilities and on-site personnel in parallel. This case is interpreted as confirmation of the practical applicability of AI-based autonomous network operation in an environment where demand from dense events and foreign users increases simultaneously.

ETRI Develops 200Gbps Photodetector… Initiates Localization of Optical Receivers for AI Data Centers
The Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI) has developed a photodetector device that processes optical signals of approximately 200Gbps per channel for the first time in Korea. This device is a component that converts optical signals into electrical signals and determines the reception performance of AI data centers and 5G/6G communication networks. ETRI achieved bandwidth of 70GHz or higher and optical responsivity of 0.75A/W or higher, and integrated an indium phosphide lens on the rear of the chip to enhance optical reception efficiency and alignment convenience. The technology was presented at OECC 2025 and was recently published in the international academic journal 'Optics Express'.
