RF (radio frequency) specialist Giga Lane Co., Ltd. announced on the 25th that it participated as a key equipment supplier in the 'Seoul Station 5G Specialized Network-Based Open RAN and AI Convergence Service Demonstration Complex Creation' project hosted by the National Information Society Agency (NIA).
This demonstration project aims to build an open, specialized 5G network environment and test and verify various public and industrial application service models. By integrating multi-vendor open LAN equipment with AI technology, the project will assess commercial viability in real-world environments.
Seoul Station is a high-density area with concentrated transportation, logistics, and tourism functions. In the demonstration zone, various AI convergence services will be applied, such as ▲deep learning-based congestion management ▲AI restroom environment monitoring ▲intelligent safety line monitoring.
Gigalane supplies indoor O-RUs (radio units) for the 4.7GHz band, playing a key role in building specialized network wireless infrastructure. These devices support the O-RAN 7.2x interface and feature built-in antennas and a low-heat design for ease of installation and operation.
According to Gigarain, the equipment has already been applied and verified in numerous domestic industrial sites, and through this demonstration, the company is exploring the possibility of expanding the technology into the public infrastructure and smart city sectors.
The company is also pursuing expansion into overseas markets. It recently joined international open RAN organizations such as ORIA, the O-RAN Alliance, and KANI, and is preparing for the OTIC (Open Testing & Integration Centers) certification test in collaboration with the Telecommunications Technology Association (TTA) and the Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI).
Furthermore, the company plans to complete global certifications, including those from Canada's ISED and Europe's CE/UKCA, by early 2025 and expand Proof-of-Concept (PoC) collaborations with overseas telecommunications equipment companies. Going forward, the company plans to expand its product lineup by developing high-output outdoor O-RUs and 6G-based RF components, in addition to indoor products.
A Giga Lane official stated, “This Seoul Station demonstration project is an opportunity to verify that our equipment can operate stably in an open LAN environment,” and added, “Based on our domestic demonstration experience, we will secure technological competitiveness in the global open LAN market as well.”
