HFR Mobile has unveiled its innovative pre-integrated, end-to-end Private 5G solution at the Merck Bio Center construction site, managed by Kolon Global. This milestone represents a significant advancement in the digital transformation of construction sites, utilizing the power of ultrafast 5G networks and advanced AI technologies to optimise safety and improve operational efficiency. HFR Mobile aims to revolutionise construction site management by providing secure, high-performance networks designed to meet the evolving demands of the industry.
Strategic Deployment for Cost Efficiency
To reduce deployment costs for the Private 5G network, HFR Mobile utilised a core-sharing approach. The Control Plane Function (CPF) is integrated into the main control centre, enabling seamless communication and optimising the management of the network. Key equipment, including the User Plane Function (UPF), Central Unit (CU)/Distributed Unit (DU), and Radio Unit (RU), were installed directly on-site. This setup ensures that real-time data processing is handled effectively, creating an optimal network environment for the construction site. By strategically installing the equipment at the location, HFR Mobile ensures that the network operates with minimal latency, even under challenging construction conditions.
Key Services Powered by Private 5G Technology
HFR Mobile’s Private 5G solution delivers three critical services that significantly enhance safety and productivity at construction sites:
- High-Quality CCTV Video Surveillance: The high-speed, low-latency capabilities of 5G allow for the transmission of large volumes of high-definition video data in real time. AI-driven video analytics enhance the surveillance system, offering intelligent detection of potential safety risks and providing timely alerts to supervisors. This proactive surveillance helps to maintain a safe working environment by identifying hazards before they escalate.
- Smart Safety Management Platform: The smart platform is designed to monitor and manage safety measures in real time, providing supervisors with continuous updates and the ability to make informed decisions. By integrating AI with real-time data collection, the platform can adjust safety protocols instantly, ensuring workers are protected at all times.
- Smart Safety Equipment: In addition to monitoring the environment, HFR Mobile’s Private 5G network supports smart wearable devices that track workers’ biometric data, such as heart rate and body temperature. Any abnormal signs trigger immediate alerts or automated responses to mitigate potential health risks. This equipment is a vital tool for preventing accidents and ensuring workers’ wellbeing on site.
