Samsung powering world’s First 3GPP-compliant PS-LTE network in Korea
On April 24, 2021, Samsung Electronics published the second edition of Virtualized Radio Access Network (vRAN) whitepaper, which highlights the benefits and components of its vRAN. Meanwhile, this will help the operators to achieve a successful 5G deployment in various regions.
Now in just two days, the Korean tech giant comes up with yet another news in which the company announced to power the world’s first 3GPP-compliant public safety LTE (PS-LTE) network in Korea. However, it will happen in collaboration with leading mobile operators so that they can set up this network nationwide.
“Samsung is proud to take part in building the world’s first nationwide PS-LTE network based on 3GPP standards in Korea, leveraging our end-to-end PS-LTE solutions,” said Seungil Kim, Vice President and Head of Korea Business, Networks Business at Samsung Electronics.
PS-LTE network in Korea
The PS-LTE is a type of network that will offer fast and reliable connectivity to the first responders in over 330 public safety organizations of Korea, including firefighters, emergency medical services, the military, and more.
Moreover, the deployment of this system will operate in the 700MHz spectrum including Samsung’s Mission-Critical Push-to-Talk (MCPTT) with multimedia broadcast capabilities, known as evolved Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service (eMBMS).
However, to achieve a successful network connection the PS-LTE network was also interconnected with the existing LTE-Maritime (LTE-M) and LTE-Railway (LTE-R) networks that were already operating in the 700MHz spectrum.
This enables simultaneous transmission to up to 2,500 user devices per cell, which is more than twice the volume of devices supported by previous-generation technologies.
After the process of setup, the PS-LTE network will serve as a unified platform that helps ensure interoperability among various public safety institutions for better surveillance and monitoring of public safety.
Also, it will deliver real-time accessibility and enhanced communications capabilities among public safety agencies and personnel in emergency situations such as earthquakes, fires, tsunami, and other hazardous conditions.
“A reliable network is critical for real-time communication among multiple institutions in case of emergencies. We will continue to offer advanced PS-LTE solutions to bolster Korea’s PS-LTE network, meeting the highest standards for reliability, performance, and security.”
Besides, it is worth mentioning that Samsung was selected as the provider of end-to-end PS-LTE solutions, from infrastructure to devices, supporting the PS-LTE network starting from 2018 and now it’s on the way to completing the overall deployment in March 2021.

Samsung could pack the Galaxy Z Flip FE and Z Flip 7 with Exynos processors. The company could launch its first affordable foldable phone next year. The device could get a different camera and processor from the Galaxy Z Flip 7.
Leaker Jukanlosreve revealed that Samsung could use the Exynos 2400e in the Galaxy Z Flip FE and Exynos 2500 in the Galaxy Z Flip 7. The former Exynos variant powers the Galaxy S24 FE, while the Exynos 2500 is an upcoming product.
Samsung previously intended to use Exynos 2500 in the Galaxy S25 series. However, the chip has a major performance difference from its Snapdragon counterpart. This led the company to solely rely on the Snapdragon 8 Elite for the S25 series.
Exynos 2500 is being manufactured using Samsung Foundry’s 3nm process node. The yield rate is quite low (around 20%), which is far from the production threshold. However, Samsung chose the path to produce the chip at such a low yield rate.
Exynos 2400 has proven to be a decent chip with no frustrating flaws. The Exynos 2400e could be used in the Z Flip FE. The “e” model could be made using IPoP (Integrated Package on Package) tech, which is cheaper than the standard method.
Recently, a Korean media outlet reported that Samsung Foundry has started mass production of a 3nm Exynos 2500 chip. It was initially intended to be used in the S25 and S25 Plus, but issues pushed it towards the second-half debut in the Z Flip 7.
New York became the first US state to bring retail consumer rebates for appliances under the Inflation Reduction Act. Applauding the move, Samsung launched a huge energy-saving opportunity for the residents of New York.
Samsung started offering up-front discounts to consumers statewide through New York’s IRA HEAR program. Consumers can now access IRA’s Home Electrification and Appliance Rebate (HEAR) program.
IRA HEAR rebate program advantages

Samsung said this is just the beginning of its rebates journey in New York. The company looks forward to working with partners to expand these retail rebates to more products and in more states across the United States.
Pay attention, the IRA provides rebates and tax credits to households across America. New York is leading the way in providing direct retail point-of-sale appliance rebates, supporting an affordable clean energy transition.
Inflation Reduction Act
Signed in August 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act is the single largest investment in climate and energy in American history.
It provides home appliance rebates for discounts on electric energy-efficient appliances like Induction cooktops, ranges, and heat pump laundry appliances.
