...Company Showcases Breadth of Technological Capabilities at Global Communications Conference in Seoul.
One of the IEEE Communications Society’s two flagship
conferences, ICC typically attracts around 2,000 attendees from over 70
countries. The annual event offers exciting keynotes and robust technical paper
sessions as well as informative and engaging tutorials, workshops and industry
discussions.
In keeping with ICC 2022’s intelligent connectivity theme,
LG is showcasing its OMNIPOD concept car; a fully autonomous, connected vehicle
that can act as an extension of one’s living or workspace. LG OMNIPOD employs
the unique, floor-to-ceiling Meta-environment Screen and a host of other
advanced technologies to adapt to passengers’ unique needs. Able to serve as
practically any kind of space, from an office or recording studio to a
video-editing workroom or even a lounge, the OMNIPOD is a future mobility
solution that completely reimagines the in-vehicle experience.
Additionally, LG is displaying its world-class 6G
communications technologies, including Full Duplex Radio transmission and
reception tech that maximizes frequency efficiency, and a power amplifier
device, jointly developed with the Fraunhofer Heinrich Hertz Institute (HHI),
for the wireless transmission and reception of 6G THz data. The company is also
demonstrating its Soft V2X (with V2X standing for “vehicle to everything”)
smartphone solution, which enables a vehicle to communicate in real-time with
nearby vehicles, pedestrians and infrastructure to create a safer driving
environment. The company is also presenting its on-device AI chip, which can be
applied to various home appliances providing a smart life experience.
“As the automotive industry is transitioning to a
software-enabled ecosystem, LG is proactively developing next-generation
technologies,” said Kim Byoung-hoon, CTO at LG Electronics. “Based on its
advanced 6G and AI tech, LG will continue to strengthen its capabilities in
various fields such as 6G communications, smart mobility, metaverse and
robotics to take the customer experience to new heights.”
Named an IEEE Fellow last year in recognition of his
research achievements and expertise in the field of communications, the CTO
will be delivering a keynote titled ‘Technology Advances in Connectivity and
Software Defined Architecture for Smart Mobility’ at ICC on May 17. Mr. Kim
will introduce the company’s direction regarding the transition to the software
defined vehicle (SDV), as well as its latest solutions and services based on
SDV and smart mobility technology.
