Supports both dedicated frequencies of 4.7GHz and 28GHz bands
[Asia Economy Reporter Park Sun-mi] Samsung Electronics is accelerating its push into the private 5G (5G specialized network) market in Korea by launching dedicated equipment for private 5G.
On the 2nd, Samsung Electronics announced that the newly introduced private 5G equipment includes radio base stations and compact macros, and that Samsung Electronics is the only company in Korea to support both the 4.7GHz and 28GHz bands, which are exclusive frequencies for private 5G.
The dedicated equipment applies NR-DC technology, which simultaneously supports dual connectivity of the 4.7GHz and 28GHz bands, for the first time in Korea. This allows enterprises using specialized networks to further enhance frequency utilization efficiency.
Additionally, Samsung Electronics’ private 5G equipment is specialized to expand the frequency upload ratio to about 40%, double the typical communication network’s (approximately 20%), to implement enterprise-exclusive services that require high data upload demands. This enables companies using Samsung Electronics’ private 5G products to quickly upload vast amounts of data collected by devices in factories, offices, and SOC facilities to the cloud or servers by utilizing a wide upload bandwidth.
Moreover, with the capability to upload high-resolution video, it is expected to be advantageous for activating enterprise-exclusive services such as detecting defective products in production processes using video analysis artificial intelligence (AI) technology, or enabling field personnel to communicate with CCTV control towers and augmented reality (AR).
Jang Yong, Executive Director of Samsung Electronics’ Network Business Division B2B-B2G Group, said, "Samsung Electronics’ private 5G equipment combines our 5G technology expertise and research results on enterprise 5G services," adding, "Samsung Electronics hopes to expand the commercialization of private 5G in Korea by discovering various use cases utilizing private 5G networks with domestic companies in SOC facilities, factories, educational institutions, parks, concert halls, and more, contributing to the enhancement of public welfare."
