HFR Mobile Sets New Benchmark in Construction Safety with Private 5G Deployment
Seoul, South Korea – January 22, 2025
HFR Mobile has successfully deployed its cutting-edge Private 5G solution at the Merck Bio Center construction site, managed by Kolon Global. This groundbreaking implementation is a major step forward in the digital transformation of construction sites, utilizing ultrafast 5G connectivity and advanced AI technologies to enhance safety and operational efficiency.
Revolutionizing Construction with 5G
To minimize costs and optimize functionality, HFR Mobile implemented a core-sharing Control Plane Function (CPF) at the main control center. Critical components, including the User Plane Function (UPF), Central Unit (CU)/Distributed Unit (DU), and Radio Unit (RU), were installed directly on-site. This strategic setup ensures real-time data processing, creating an ideal network environment tailored to the demands of construction sites.
The solution integrates three key services powered by HFR Mobile’s Private 5G network:
- High-Quality CCTV Video Surveillance: Real-time, high-definition video streams transmitted with the low latency of 5G, coupled with AI-driven analytics, enhance safety monitoring and incident detection.
- Smart Safety Management Platform: This platform consolidates safety data to provide actionable insights for improved oversight and decision-making.
- Smart Safety Equipment: Innovative devices monitor workers’ biometric data in real time, triggering automated alerts or safety measures when abnormal signs are detected.
Driving Safety and Innovation
The deployment at the Merck Bio Center highlights the transformative potential of Private 5G in improving worker safety and operational efficiency in the construction industry. By leveraging the high-speed, low-latency capabilities of 5G, HFR Mobile offers an intelligent solution designed to prevent accidents and ensure worker well-being.
Hae-Kwan Jung, Head of Sales and Business Development at HFR Mobile, emphasized the importance of innovation in construction safety:
“Safety management is critical at construction sites, and a Private 5G solution enables real-time response to prevent safety incidents. HFR Mobile will continue to deliver innovative solutions that bring smart construction sites to life, contributing to industrial and societal progress.”
