LG Uplus Corp. signed a deal to supply educational service of around 220 children's books in 5G-based augmented reality (AR) format to Japanese carrier KDDI Corp.
The service will be available to KDDI's 5G users from Sept. 1.
LG Uplus has been boosting 5G content exports since last year, having entered deals with China Telecom Corp. in October last year to supply its 5G content and solutions and with KDDI, Taiwan's Chunghwa Telecom Co., and Hong Kong Telecommunications Ltd. this year to supply virtual reality (VR) content.
LG Uplus had exported US$10 million worth of 5G content products since the deal with China Telecom.
South Korea's No. 3 mobile carrier has focused on AR and VR content creation by partnering with Google.
It also collaborated with Chinese mixed-reality product developer Nreal to release a 5G-based AR glasses device.
