POSTECH (Pohang University of Science and Technology, President Kim Moo-Hwan), KREEMO, SK Telecom, Dongwoo Fine Chem, Corning Precision Materials, Y-Tech, Keysight Technologies, and ANSYS have formed the MIA (mmWave Industry Alliance), an open consortium to revitalize the 5G industry and market, and build an ecosystem. formed 5G-enabled communication devices have been released since 2019 and have been attracting attention every day, but this movement is drawing the attention of academia and industry as there is no standard to verify the performance of these devices. MIA plans to develop a 5G millimeter wave golden reference device that can verify the performance of 5G devices, and help companies developing 5G devices compare and evaluate their performance and quickly launch products with the best performance.

Participating organizations are expecting that this will contribute to the revitalization of the 5G market such as autonomous driving, smart city, augmented reality, and virtual reality. Prof. Wonbin Hong of POSTECH, who is leading the MIA formation, said, “MIA is expected to become an important consortium that will maximize the utilization of high-frequency resources with high potential, including millimeter waves, to strengthen national core technologies in the 5G field and lead the future 6G technology. ” he said. Jun-ho Park, CEO of KREEMO, a 5G antenna venture that will serve as the secretariat of MIA, also said, “We want to contribute to the establishment of the 5G ecosystem and revitalization of the market by applying the world’s first 360-degree 5G antenna solution to the 5G millimeter wave standard sample.”

ANSYS Korea CEO Moon Seok-Hwan said, “Simulation has become essential in the development and certification of 5G millimeter wave devices. .
