LGU+ has conducted a special network inspection at Jamsil Baseball Stadium in preparation for the 2026 Korean baseball postseason.
On October 14, LGU+ announced that it expects a large crowd for the final fall baseball games, and has established a stable network environment.
Opened in July 1982, Jamsil Baseball Stadium has been in operation for 44 years. It is set to undergo remodeling after the conclusion of this year's baseball schedule.
This year, the total attendance for the Korea Baseball Organization (KBO) regular season reached approximately 12.77 million, an increase of over 450,000 from last year's 12.31 million, reflecting the growing popularity of professional baseball. Full sellouts are anticipated for the playoff schedule.
In anticipation of increased traffic due to the larger crowds, LGU+ proactively implemented a special network inspection.
The company optimized antennas inside and outside the stadium and conducted on-site quality measurements. Additionally, it prepared for high user demand by utilizing artificial intelligence (AI) agents for traffic control and parameter optimization, ensuring uninterrupted wireless internet access even during peak times.
Previously, LGU+ has continuously expanded its infrastructure to provide high-quality communication services. The installation of 5G equipment has increased by about 1.5 times compared to the initial commercialization phase, and antennas have been periodically replaced to ensure wide and uniform delivery of internal LTE signals.
Wi-Fi facilities have also been inspected and replaced, and mobile base stations have been deployed for major events, such as the Korean Series, to accommodate sudden spikes in demand.
Kwak Jun-young, head of LGU+’s metropolitan infrastructure division, stated, "We expect about a 15% increase in attendance during the postseason compared to the regular season average, which will likely lead to a similar increase in data usage. We will ensure the highest call quality without interruptions, even with large crowds."
