HFR Mobile Deploys Private 5G to Transform Safety at Construction Sites

HFR Mobile has taken a significant step in digital transformation by deploying an advanced Private 5G Network at Kolon Global’s Merck Bio Center construction site. This initiative leverages ultrafast 5G and AI technologies to redefine safety and efficiency at construction sites. The deployment highlights HFR Mobile’s commitment to integrating innovative solutions in dynamic environments like construction.

Addressing Safety Challenges in High-Risk Construction Environments


Construction sites are inherently high-risk environments where safety incidents can disrupt operations and jeopardize lives. Traditional monitoring systems often fail to provide real-time data and predictive insights. Additionally, deploying cutting-edge digital technologies such as Private 5G often comes with high costs and technical complexities, making adoption challenging in cost-sensitive industries like construction.

HFR Mobileโ€™s Private 5G Solution for Safer, Smarter Construction

HFR Mobile addressed these challenges with a cost-effective and scalable Private 5G solution. By implementing a core-sharing Control Plane Function (CPF) at the main control center, HFR Mobile reduced deployment costs while ensuring operational efficiency. Key on-site components, including the User Plane Function (UPF), Central Unit (CU)/Distributed Unit (DU), and Radio Unit (RU), enable real-time data processing and maintain optimal network performance.

The solution integrates three primary services:

  1. High-quality CCTV Video Surveillance: Utilizing the high-speed, low-latency capabilities of 5G, it transmits large volumes of HD video data. AI-powered analytics enhance safety by identifying potential risks.
  2. Smart Safety Management Platform: This platform monitors workers’ biometric data in real time, issuing alerts or taking automated safety actions during emergencies.
  3. Smart Safety Equipment: Wearable devices track workers’ health and ensure preventive measures against accidents.

Proven Impact of Private 5G on Construction Site Safety

At the Merck Bio Center, the implementation of these services has already demonstrated significant benefits. The real-time video surveillance has improved situational awareness, while biometric monitoring has enabled swift responses to potential hazards. HFR Mobile’s solution not only enhances safety but also improves operational efficiency by leveraging advanced AI technologies.

Technology Powering HFR Mobileโ€™s Private 5G Solution

HFR Mobile’s Private 5G deployment is powered by end-to-end solutions, including:

  • Core-sharing CPF: Reduces overall costs while enabling centralized management.
  • On-site Network Components: Ensures seamless, real-time processing of critical data.
  • AI and IoT Integration: Combines advanced Artificial Intelligence with Internet of Things (IoT) devices to optimize performance and safety.

How Private 5G Networks Enhance Safety and Efficiency in Construction

HFR Mobileโ€™s solution delivers several key advantages:

  • Enhanced Safety: Real-time biometric and environmental monitoring minimizes accidents.
  • Cost Efficiency: The core-sharing CPF reduces deployment and operational expenses.
  • Improved Efficiency: High-speed data transmission and automation streamline operations.
  • Scalability: The modular setup allows customization for different construction environments.

The Role of Private 5G in Improving Construction Site Safety

This deployment sets a precedent for adopting Private 5G Networks in construction, highlighting their potential to improve safety and productivity. It encourages other industries to explore similar technologies for digital transformation.

HFR Mobileโ€™s Leadership in Digital Transformation with Private 5G

As a pioneer in communication and computing solutions, HFR Mobile plays a crucial role in enabling the adoption of 5G and AI technologies across industries. Its cost-effective, innovative solutions meet diverse customer demands, ensuring optimized performance for digital transformation.
