Newgens (SI Company)

 

 

In November 2022, Newgens (Korean SI company) was approved by the government as a private 5G common carrier, allowing it to provide private 5G services to corporate customers. Newgens was allocated a private 5G frequency of 4.7 GHz (4.72-4.82GHz), 28GHz (28.9-29.5GHz) by the government and built a private 5G network at Lotter World, South Korea's largest amusement park in December 2022.   Newgens built a 28GHz private 5G network in the area where the Atlantis attraction is located in Lotte World, and Lotte World will provide an immersive parallel reality experience service using motion sensors, cameras, and motion simulators.

The use of private 5G technology in the 28GHz band enabled real-time large-capacity video (4K: uplink 40Mbps, 8K: 200Mbps) and motion data transmission of rides, which was previously impossible with conventional Wi-Fi.
