If you need to leave your cat or dog at a pet hotel while going on a long summer vacation, a 'pet IoT service' is useful.

"Pet IoT," launched by LG Uplus on the 10th, is an officially recommended product by the Seoul Veterinary Medical Association and consists of three types: Home CCTV Mini, IoT Plug, and IoT Switch. The newly introduced Home CCTV Mini features various functions specialized for customers raising pets, such as a 4x zoom and 142-degree wide-angle camera, two-way voice calls, up to 50 days of video storage, and scheduled recording settings.

LG Uplus is operating a pet IoT service by establishing experience zones at Molly's Pet Shop 'Starfield Hanam Branch,' a premium pet multi-shop operated by E-Mart, and 'Chiryo Mungmung Animal Medical Center,' a premium animal hospital in Seocho-gu, Seoul, in anticipation of the peak summer vacation season.

We plan to add an experience zone at the Busan Centum City branch, which has many visitors, and install home CCTVs at the 'Pet Hotel' in nine Molly's Pet Shop locations so that customers can check on their pets, whether they are at the Pet Hotel or left at home, directly via smartphone even while on vacation.

By using LG Uplus's energy management service 'IoT Electricity Bill Notifier,' you can prevent a progressive electricity bill shock during the summer heatwave.

The IoT Electricity Bill Notifier is for all electricity It provides information on usage and the current progressive tariff tier, as well as real-time current rates and estimated monthly charges. Estimated electricity rates and real-time usage are provided down to the second, and the margin of error has been minimized by reflecting the meter reading date, discount conditions (families with 3 or more children, 5 or more members, and welfare discounts), and the ownership of a solar power generator.

With "ONE NAVI," jointly introduced by LG Uplus and KT, you can effectively bypass congested roads during the vacation season to reach your destination.

'Intersection Guidance' is the first in the industry to provide route guidance via video when entering and exiting intersections, assisting drivers with the crucial decision-making needed at the moment of lane change. The service is planned to be expanded beyond major intersections.

The U + tv YouTube channel is a service integrated as a virtual channel on IPTV, allowing users to conveniently watch content with just a remote control without the need for searching. This enables customers to watch videos by popular BJs (Broadcasting Jockeys) on a large-screen TV instead of a smartphone. Another advantage is the ability to watch unlimited YouTube Kids content for free without the need to pay for kids' content lasting just over 20 minutes.

LG Uplus anticipates a surge in network traffic in major vacation areas during the summer vacation season in July and August, and has completed quality tests of base stations at over 180 tourist destinations nationwide, including more than 100 major beaches, 23 theme parks, and 60 valleys.

In particular, mobile base stations were pre-positioned around areas where vacation season events overlap, such as the Pohang Light Festival, Daecheon Beach, Jisan Rock Festival, and Naksan Beach Festival. Additionally, utilizing the 2.1GHz broadband frequency, the installation of repeaters and base stations to increase capacity was completed on major expressways connecting beaches and vacation spots, such as the Gyeongbu, Jungbu, Yeongdong, and Seohaean lines, as well as at major facilities like Seoul Station, Busan Station, and Incheon International Airport.
