Powered by Samsung’s non-public 5G options, NAVER’s new headquarters can be outfitted with its cloud-based autonomous cellular robots this month
Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. and NAVER Cloud immediately introduced that the businesses have joined collectively to change on South Korea’s first non-public 5G community. Deployed at NAVER’s new second headquarters, “1784,”[1] Samsung’s community answer will assist NAVER’s non-public 5G business service to energy cloud-based autonomous cellular robots this month – the world’s first use case of its sort – created to offer handy providers to workers all through the constructing.
Samsung and NAVER Cloud allow the world’s first cloud-based autonomous robotic service powered by a 5G non-public community. The robots present workers in NAVER headquarters with providers equivalent to package deal supply, espresso and lunch bins.
NAVER Cloud operates the worldwide IT infrastructure and enterprise answer providers for NAVER and its subsidiaries whereas offering its public cloud providers, NAVER Cloud Platform, to a myriad of firms and organizations in various industries.
Samsung Electronics and NAVER Cloud signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) in March 2022 for a non-public 5G community collaboration. The businesses will proceed working collectively to develop new enterprise fashions and use instances to broaden non-public 5G networks globally, serving to assist the buildout of safe and devoted networks for enterprises utilizing Samsung’s non-public 5G community options and NAVER’s cloud expertise.
“NAVER’s new headquarters serves as a check mattress to discover applied sciences of the longer term, the place 5G community and cloud play a central function,” mentioned Sangyoung Han, Govt Director at NAVER Cloud Technique and Planning at NAVER Cloud. “Along with Samsung, we are going to proceed to develop new non-public 5G networks enterprise fashions and cooperate to assist extra firms obtain digital transformation with cloud expertise.”
Non-public 5G Community Permits Cloud-Based mostly Autonomous Cellular Robots
NAVER’s autonomous cellular robotic providers leverage each NAVER and Samsung’s applied sciences to introduce a non-public 5G use case, bringing instant advantages throughout the constructing. Serving as assistants for workers, the robots present comfort providers equivalent to delivering packages, espresso and lunch bins to workers all through the constructing. There are 40 robots transferring round three flooring throughout the 1784 headquarters, with plans to broaden to a whole lot of robots touring across the total 36-floor constructing this 12 months.
The cloud acts as a shared mind for the robotic, named “Rookie,” as an alternative of a built-in chipset. Samsung’s non-public 5G community performs the function of a neural community that connects the robots and the cloud, enabling the cloud to manage and assist tens of hundreds of robots in real-time and permitting them to be smarter collectively. As well as, superior applied sciences equivalent to digital twins, 3D/HD mapping and AI are utilized to assist robots be taught to search out their approach contained in the constructing by making a digital house that replicates the actual world.
NAVER’s autonomous cellular robotic providers use Samsung Networks and NAVER applied sciences to introduce a non-public 5G use case that can start with 40 robots within the constructing, and plan to broaden to a whole lot this 12 months.
The Non-public 5G Community Options
Non-public 5G options are essential to assist enterprises like NAVER that require safe and dependable communications for data-intensive cellular functions. The business non-public 5G options powering NAVER’s software embody Samsung’s Compact Core and 5G radios supporting 4.7GHz and 28GHz spectrums, that are devoted for personal 5G networks in Korea. The non-public 5G radios from Samsung embody an optimized uplink allocation characteristic, with an allocation ratio of as much as 40 %. This newest characteristic, which practically doubles the add capabilities of immediately’s business 5G radios, is designed to assist enterprises add huge quantities of information throughout many individuals and machines concurrently, which is required in lots of non-public networks. Moreover, the brand new radios assist enterprises with optimum frequency use by leveraging New Radio-Twin Connectivity (NR-DC) expertise, permitting units or finish customers to hook up with mid-band and mmWave frequencies concurrently.
“Our collaboration with NAVER highlights how we creatively drive enterprise innovation by future expertise convergence. We’re thrilled to work with NAVER to efficiently understand our imaginative and prescient with non-public 5G community options,” mentioned Yong Chang, Vice President of World Gross sales and Advertising and marketing, Networks Enterprise at Samsung Electronics. “Samsung will proceed to work with public establishments and enterprises to ship various use instances for transportation techniques, hospitals, faculties, SOC services and extra.”
Samsung Networks has pioneered the profitable supply of 5G end-to-end options together with chipsets, radios, and core. By ongoing analysis and improvement, Samsung drives the business to advance 5G networks with its market-leading product portfolio from absolutely virtualized RAN and Core to personal community options and AI-powered automation instruments. The corporate is at the moment offering community options to cellular operators that ship connectivity to a whole lot of tens of millions of customers all over the world.
