■ Various video IoT devices such as drones and robots can be connected without the investment of a separate system or cost.
■ Technical support to participating device companies… Expected to revitalize real-time video AI services for 5G-based IoT
Various video IoT devices, such as drones and robots, can be connected to an ultra-low-latency, high-capacity video platform without separate system development or cost investment.
Gyeonggi Creative Economy Innovation Center (hereinafter referred to as ‘Gyeonggi Innovation Center’) announced on the 18th that it will develop and demonstrate a 5G-based ‘Web standard ultra-low latency media platform’ with the childcare company ‘Team Grit Co., Ltd. (CEO Kim Ki-ryeong)’.
This development, which took place in the 5G (millimeter wave) test bed of the Ministry of SMEs and Startups, is part of a project to strengthen the service supply base with the purpose of creating and implementing innovative services using MEC (mobile edge computing).
Multimedia solution startup TeamGrit has built an ‘ultra-low-latency intelligent interactive media platform’ based on the world’s best WebRTC (WebRTC·Web Real Time Communication: a framework for the web that enables real-time communication without plug-ins). Through this, we plan to provide free support to related companies so that various 5G video IoT devices such as drones, robots, RC cars, and heavy equipment can operate on the media platform.
Gyeonggi Innovation Center and Team Grit expect that through the media platform, device companies will be able to develop video services with high added value, such as remote games, remote travel, and real-time control using connected driving robots and drones.
Cameras included in existing IoT devices were only capable of transmitting driving assistance or location data due to environmental constraints such as plug-in SW, performance, and power consumption. Due to video transmission delays of tens of seconds and poor data quality, real-time two-way control or use of AI data was difficult.
On the other hand, TeamGrit’s media platform can transmit high-definition video even to low-end IoT devices through the 5G network. Supports the WebRTC standard, enabling ultra-low latency quality maintenance and high-speed video transmission without separate external program integration. Like ‘ZOOM’, it is directly connected to video IoT devices without any special development.
A Team Grit official said, “The future of network-connected devices lies in the competitiveness of convergence with AI and 5G, but realistically, it is difficult for small and medium-sized businesses to possess all of these technologies.” He added, “IoT manufacturing companies will be able to discover innovative services by utilizing real-time interactive video technology.” “We will do our best to make it happen,” he said.
