✦ AI Summary
LS Cable & System signed an MOU on the 1st with the AI Factory Frontier (AFF) consortium for business cooperation.
The partnership is aimed at entering the AIDC infrastructure market with superconducting technology at the forefront, and plans to jointly propose power infrastructure solutions spanning everything from external power grids to internal distribution and communications networks.
LS Cable & System said 23kV-class medium voltage (MV) alone can enable power transmission at the level of 154kV-class high voltage (HV), while AFF participants will handle architectural design, GPU, AI infrastructure platforms, power equipment, business development, cooling and renewable energy facilities.
LS Cable & System has begun targeting the AI data center (AIDC) infrastructure market based on superconducting technology. The company said on the 1st that it signed a memorandum of understanding, or MOU, with the AI Factory Frontier (AFF) consortium for business cooperation.
The partnership is intended to establish a cooperative framework with AFF as LS Cable & System seeks to enter the AIDC infrastructure market with superconducting technology at the forefront. AFF is a coalition of 5 companies covering GPU, power equipment, cooling, construction and business development.
AFF is a consortium that links the AIDC solutions of each participating company and proposes integrated solutions to operators. The participating companies are Naewoi Architects & Engineers, Azwell AI, Enfield P&D, Woojin Electric System and Iljin E&S.
LS Cable & System and AFF said they plan to review customers' power demand and site conditions from the early stages of a project and identify business opportunities. They added that they will jointly propose power infrastructure solutions covering everything from external power grids to internal distribution and communications networks.
The application method involves installing a superconducting system in the external network and busduct and optical cable inside. LS Cable & System and AFF plan to jointly push infrastructure proposals spanning both external and internal networks.
LS Cable & System emphasized its superconducting system as a core differentiating technology for AIDC power infrastructure. The company said 23kV-class medium voltage (MV) alone can enable power transmission at the level of 154kV-class high voltage (HV). It added that using a superconducting system would make it possible to use existing substations and help reduce the need for new substation construction and the space required for power infrastructure installation.
Along with this power infrastructure concept, AFF participants will support AIDC construction based on their specialized expertise in each field. Naewoi Architects & Engineers will handle architectural design, Azwell AI will provide a GPU and AI infrastructure platform, Woojin Electric System will build power equipment, Enfield P&D will handle business development, and Iljin E&S will be in charge of cooling and renewable energy facilities.
LS Cable & System said the rapid growth of AIDC has made securing large-scale power a key challenge. It added that it aims to set a new standard for AIDC power infrastructure through superconducting technology.
