39 locations, including new operators such as LG Electronics and Megazone Cloud, have been allocated and designated for the 5G frequency.

The Ministry of Science and ICT announced on the 27th that it had completed the allocation of 5G frequencies and registration as a basic telecommunications service provider to LG Electronics and MegaZone Cloud.

With this frequency supply, the number of 5G frequency allocations has increased to 13 organizations, and a total of 39 locations across 23 organizations have been allocated and designated for 5G frequencies.

With this frequency allocation and registration as a period telecommunications operator, attention is being paid to the fact that new businesses will be promoted in various fields such as manufacturing, logistics, and hospitals through 5G.

LG Electronics will verify its products by building a test bed for artificial intelligence (AI), autonomous mobile robots (AMR), intelligent surveillance cameras (CCTV), and the cloud based on the 5G communication network at LG Digital Park in Pyeongtaek, Gyeonggi Province.

MegaZone Cloud plans to provide its customers with an intelligent logistics system that collects information from intelligent surveillance cameras (CCTVs) and detectors (sensors), transmits it to the cloud via 5G, and then analyzes and manages it.

Meanwhile, the Ministry of Science and ICT provided the 5G frequency for communication solution verification to security solution company Kuntec and the Joint Chiefs of Staff in June. The supply has been completed.

Choi Woo-hyuk, director of the Ministry of Science and ICT's Radio Policy Bureau, said, "This 5G frequency supply is significant in that major digital companies with technological prowess and numerous partners have actively entered the 5G market," adding, "We will actively support many companies to participate in the 5G ecosystem in the future and expand it into various industrial fields."
