Exchange Brings Modern Telecom to Humphreys
When 30,000 U.S. troops and their families move to South Korea’s Camp Humphreys in the next few years, more than 50+ channels of U.S. television programming will keep them in touch with America.
While the installation takes shape as a major military hub for U.S. forces in Korea, the Exchange and telecom provider LGU+ are providing state-of-the-art internet and cellular/mobile services with eyes on future expansion.
The Exchange serves more than 20,000 customers throughout Korea, including those already at Camp Humphreys, generating
$20 million a year in sales.
A new fiber optics network provides customers with high-speed internet up to 100MB, better installation-wide cellular service, 50+ channels of U.S. TV programming and telephone service with unlimited toll-free calling to the U.S.
The Pacific Region’s first Exchange Mobile Center will debut in the new Camp Humphreys Exchange, which is expected to open later this year. As one of 104 Exchange Mobile Centers, the Humphreys location will feature the latest smartphones and service plans.
A new $26 million Tele-Video Center will increase reliability and pave the way for digital features still to come. The center will control service to seven installations throughout Korea.
