Hyundai Motor Company and Samsung Electronics have successfully completed verification testing of Private 5G (P-5G) RedCap technology which is a development that is aimed at improving manufacturing efficiency via enhanced wireless communications. The organizations announced today that they will showcase the new technology at MWC25 Barcelona, - a global IT & electronics exhibition.

"Hyundai Motor was the first Korean company to implement P-5G in mass production," said Jae Min Lee, Vice President and Head of E-FOREST Center of Hyundai Motor and Kia. "We are also the industry's first to verify P-5G RedCap technology, reinforcing our global leadership in smart manufacturing solutions. We will continue to accelerate its commercialization."

The technology has already been deployed in production settings. In October 2024, Hyundai implemented P-5G at its Ulsan plant to manage automated guided vehicles, and at the Hyundai Motor Group Metaplant America to operate autonomous mobile robots.

Simon Lee, Vice President at Samsung Electronics' Networks Business, emphasized the partnership's significance: "The recent collaboration with Hyundai Motor represents how the two leaders in their respective industries can creatively drive business innovation and unlock new real use cases by merging best-in-class expertise."

Looking ahead, Hyundai intends to integrate P-5G technology into its new EV-dedicated manufacturing facility in Ulsan, set to open in 2026. The company states that previous implementations have greatly minimized communication disruptions in its manufacturing processes.
