The challenge of ENPLUG & LG Uplus: Merging Wi-Fi 7 with Matter
The smart home industry has grown steadily over the past decade, but device compatibility has remained a major issue. Consumers often needed separate hubs or couldn’t connect products from different brands.
To solve this, more than 260 global IT companies created Matter, a unified smart home standard. Companies like Google, Apple, Amazon, and Samsung now support Matter, and analysts predict that about 400 million IoT devices launching next year will adopt it—marking a major step toward full standardization.
In Korea, Samsung, LG Electronics, KT, and now LG Uplus have joined the Matter ecosystem.
LG Uplus, in collaboration with ENPLUG, successfully completed its first development and test of a Wi-Fi 7–based Access Point with Matter support.
Wi-Fi 7 enables ultra-fast speed, low latency, and multi-channel efficiency. Combined with Matter, it greatly improves device connection stability and data processing. This milestone not only shows technological progress, but also builds a foundation for Korean smart home manufacturers and platforms to expand globally under a unified standard.
The core value of smart-home standardization lies in interoperability and scalability. Modern users expect a seamless experience where lights automatically turn on when they get home, and air conditioners, purifiers, security sensors, and cameras work together without manual control. The combination of Wi-Fi 7 and Matter will enable this experience faster and more reliably.
The fact that global companies are adopting Matter as a common standard shows that the smart-home ecosystem is shifting from fragmented platforms to a unified, highly compatible market.
Through this collaboration, ENPLUG is expanding its proven IoT device, module, hub, and tracker technologies into Matter-based solutions. The joint demonstration with LG Uplus confirms that ENPLUG is now aligned with global standards in the smart-home industry. Going forward, ENPLUG plans to apply Matter compatibility to a wider range of home IoT devices and extend its platform into mobility, digital healthcare, and industrial IoT.
The smart-home industry is no longer focused merely on convenience; it is evolving into a data-driven ecosystem aimed at energy efficiency, safety, and intelligent daily-life management. Matter-based Wi-Fi 7 solutions will give ENPLUG strong competitiveness both in Korea and global markets. This demonstration is not just a technical showcase—it is a strategic milestone that positions ENPLUG to take a meaningful role in the global smart-home ecosystem.
