5G specialized networks (5G-connected networks) are also expanding to universities and defense industries.

The Ministry of Science and ICT announced on the 22nd that it has completed the supply of 5G frequencies to LG CNS, Korea Aerospace Industries, the Government Complex Management Headquarters, and LG Electronics. All companies have completed the supply of the entire 4.7GHz band (100MHz width) for which they applied.

In this frequency supply, Kyung Hee University International Campus (Yongin) collaborated with LG CNS to introduce 5G to build a test site, including an intelligent factory within the laboratory. They said that these will be mainly used for real-time status measurement and maintenance testing of intelligent factory equipment, and open LAN international joint research.

By establishing a research foundation for various convergence services, such as enabling research institutes within universities to implement and verify intelligent factory operation services, we anticipate active adoption of 5G in academia in the future.

It also spreads to the defense industry.

Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI) announced that it has been able to improve work efficiency in a safe environment by digitalizing the manufacturing process, including product life cycle management (PLM) and technical data management, of the next-generation fighter (KF-21), which had to be managed on paper due to vulnerabilities in wireless security, through 5G.

The Government Complex Management Headquarters and LG Electronics will apply 5G to facility management and intelligent factories, respectively, through robots, sensors, and intelligent cameras at the Government Complex Sejong and Digital Park (Pyeongtaek) for five years.

Meanwhile, with this frequency supply, the number of organizations designated for the 5th generation of wireless communication has increased to 9, and a total of 18 organizations have been allocated and designated for the 5G frequency in 26 locations.
