Private 5G Network to Boost Hyundai’s EV Production

This previous week at the 2025 Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona, Samsung and Hyundai Motor Company introduced a private 5G network structured for low-power tools that link throughout huge centers. The business reported their manufacturing facility’s personal 5G Reduced Capability (RedCap) network will certainly transfer inner examination information throughout the center, accelerating the examination procedure and overtaking the efficiency of the manufacturing facility’s previous Wi-Fi system.

Established by industry partners consisting of Qualcomm and Ericsson and standard by the mobile criteria consortium 3GPP in 2022, RedCap was developed partly to satisfy the demands of commercial and production settings. It develops component of a bigger collection of modern technologies called 5G New Radio (5G NR), which reduces 5G bandwidth and optimizes power consumption for expanded battery life.

Since January, Samsung and Hyundai carried out a pilot job for their personal 5G RedCap innovation at Samsung’s R&D center in Suwon, South Korea. The objective, they stated, was to examine the capacities and incorporated efficiency of RedCap throughout the whole network, starting with the lorry examination terminal.

Samsung has actually been working together with the carmaker to improve Hyundai’s Ulsan Plant in Ulsan, South Korea– the globe’s biggest vehicle plant, with a 5 million square-meter footprint and typical everyday manufacturing of 6,000 automobiles.

RedCap Technology for Reliable Smart Manufacturing Facilities

“[RedCap] is a superb alternative for situations where reduced latency is necessary,” a Hyundai representative informed IEEE Range. ” This consists of running several automatic led automobiles, self-governing mobile robotics, keeping track of job safety and security, running mission-critical applications, and push-button control.”

” Among the vital benefits of Personal 5G is not just its rate however likewise its dependability,'” a Hyundai representative stated through e-mail. “When there are [only a] couple of cordless tools, utilizing the existing Wi-Fi network for manufacturing facility procedures is not an issue. Yet when much more cordless tools are utilized, concerns like regularity disturbance can make it more challenging to run manufacturing facilities.”

On The Other Hand, Samsung has been rolling out private 5G networks in a series of areas, not simply in clever manufacturing facilities, however likewise in healthcare facilities, building and construction websites, along with armed forces and city government centers.

RedCap makes it possible for constant 5G connections throughout a business’s centers, a Samsung representative stated, assuring nonstop and low-latency 5G interaction throughout the whole protection location.

” Hyundai Electric motor was the very first Oriental business to execute [private] 5G in automation,” vice head of state and head of Hyundai’s E-FOREST Center Kia Jae Minutes Lee stated in a news release. “We are likewise the [automobile] market’s very first to validate 5G RedCap innovation, strengthening our international management in clever production remedies. We will certainly remain to increase its commercialization.”

” When a venture develops a committed 5G network, it guarantees that just licensed tools can access the business network,” proceeded the Samsung representative. “This strategy varies from the common facilities version utilized by public telco business that accommodate a large range of clients.”
