LG Uplus will set up its first sole pavilion to display major platform services at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2023, to be held in Barcelona, Spain, from Feb. 23 to March 2, 2023.
According to IT business circles, LG Uplus will establish an 860 square meter exhibition booth at the upcoming MWC 2023 at Hall 3, a main exhibition space for exhibitors in the electronics and telecom sectors.
“U+ Idol Live,” a platform specializing in videos related to K-pop idols, “U+Golf/Baseball,” a platform tailored to meet sports aficionados, metaverse “Virtual Office and “Kids Zoo,” and “U+Kids’ Land” will be showcased during the fair.
It is the first time that LG Uplus will set up its own sole booth at the MWC. The telecom service provider has participated in the MWC since 2011. LG Uplus had jointly set up and operated a booth in cooperation with LG Electronics in 2015 and 2019.
MWC 2022 represents a return to an in-person event for the first time in three years, due to the COVID pandemic becoming endemic.
LG Uplus did not open an exhibition hall targeting spectators, but operated only a 5G service zone at the Hall Z.
LS Uplus established a sole pavilion at MWC 2023, which may be construed as the telecom service provider’s strategy to aggressively publicize its own platforms and expand markets as spectators to the upcoming fair are expected to rise in the post-COVID pandemic.
To this end, LG Uplus President Hwang Hyun-shik is known to suggest the company’s future technologies and vision to spectators to the MWC 2023 and discuss ways of promoting cooperation with its global business partners.
LG Uplus officials said the company’s establishment of its sole pavilion will serve as an opportunity to have its core services known to its global business partners.

The subscription-type smart factory service offers AI vision testing, motor diagnosis and equipment prediction and preservation to prevent faulty products by searching unnormal symptoms of machines and quality inspection process.
As LG Uplus analyzes and diagnoses the quality of products and conditions of equipment based on AI, SMEs with insufficient operation and maintenance/repair methods are expected to improve the quality of products, the company said.
Since LG Uplus’ Mobile Edge Computing Center is connected with customers’ factories via the exclusive 5G network, telecom security is superior, it said.
The most basic facility of the smart factory market to raise work efficiency by connecting factory equipment via networks is telecom infrastructure.
As a result, telecom service providers are giving top priority to the smart factory business, which has grown fast of late.
