Japan\'s JCB, Resona Holdings and Odawara Device will introduce an ultra-wideband (UWB)-based payment service that lets bus passengers pay fares without taking out their smartphones. The three companies signed an MOU to jointly develop and test the service, targeting commercial rollout in 2028. Technology verification will begin in 2026, followed by limited commercial services on 일부 routes in 2027. The project also includes work to develop standards linking bus fare systems with UWB technology.

LGU+ has switched its in-house wireless network to the next-generation Wi-Fi 7 standard and overhauled its authentication method and network structure. The company said it built a single companywide network environment to improve employee productivity and mobility, allowing work to continue without slowdowns or disconnections even in crowded offices. It introduced certificate-based automatic access, built a separate network for visitors and moved to a single IP system across offices.
