LG Uplus, the nation’s third-largest mobile carrier, has developed a smart parking control service based on the narrowband long-term evolution (LTE) technology. The
telecom company said Monday it started testing the service at its fifth-generation technology test center in Sangam-dong, western Seoul. The telecom said it would expand its services by tapping into
industrial Internet of Things (IoT) technologies such as remote parking control and smart lighting systems based on diverse LTE frequency bandwidths. “Starting from the smart
parking control service, we plan to apply the narrowband LTE technology to industrial IoT devices including corporate electricity meters and security systems that can cover wide areas with little
energy consumption,” LG Uplus stated. The smart parking control collects information from sensors attached to parking lots and delivers it to users’ smartphones or
personal computers through the LTE network, enabling services such informing motorists about available parking spaces.Read the whole story at Korea Times »
