Enhancing Driver Safety, Hybrid eCall Enables Seamless Emergency Communication Across 2G to 5G Networks in Compliance with Europe’s 2027 NG eCall Requirements

News Summary

LG Electronics showcased its Hybrid eCall solution at the 37th 5GAA Meeting Week, highlighting its advanced TCU capabilities.The solution enables emergency communication across 2G to 5G networks and is aligned with Europe’s NG eCall mandate scheduled for 2027.LG has advanced commercialization of its Hybrid eCall solution and built in-house conformity assessment capabilities comparable to those of accredited certification bodies.

SEOUL, South Korea, April 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — LG Electronics (LG) showcased its Hybrid Emergency Call (Hybrid eCall) solution at the 37th Meeting Week of the 5G Automotive Association (5GAA) – a global cross-industry organization driving the development of connected mobility solutions – held in Gothenburg, Sweden, on April 23. The solution highlights LG’s telematics control unit (TCU) capabilities and its continued focus on vehicle connectivity technologies aligned with evolving European safety regulations.

Hybrid eCall Enabling Next-Generation Safety and Regulatory Compliance

eCall is an in-vehicle emergency communication system that automatically transmits critical information – such as vehicle location, vehicle data and time of incident – to the nearest public safety answering point when a severe collision is detected or airbags are deployed. The system has been mandatory for all new vehicles in Europe since 2018.

Starting in 2027, all new-model vehicles sold in Europe will be required to support Next Generation eCall (NG eCall) operating over 4G and 5G networks to enable faster and more accurate transmission of accident data. eCall is directly linked to occupant safety, making reliable transmission of accident data across available networks essential. In response, hybrid approaches that can operate across both legacy and next-generation networks are receiving increased attention.

LG’s Hybrid eCall solution is designed for reliable emergency communication across 2G, 3G, 4G and 5G networks. In real-world environments where network coverage is inconsistent, the solution automatically transitions between available networks and adapts data transmission accordingly, maintaining emergency communication while minimizing delay and data loss.

LG’s End-to-End Capabilities and Proven Market Leadership

A key strength of LG’s solution is its proven capability. As the No.1 company in global telematics market share,[1] LG has deployed its Hybrid eCall solution, designed to meet NG eCall requirements, in vehicles from major global automakers since last year, completing official certification and moving toward full-scale mass production.

LG’s development is backed by end-to-end capabilities spanning development, testing and certification. The company’s one-stop execution framework reduces reliance on external institutions and enables a faster and more effective response to automaker requirements and regulatory standards.

LG also operates in-house conformity assessment capabilities for automotive components comparable to those of accredited third-party certification organizations, supported by a standardized testing and evaluation system based on international standards. In 2024, the Vehicle Solution (VS) Standard Testing Laboratory, part of the VS R&D Laboratory, earned ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation from the Korea Laboratory Accreditation Scheme (KOLAS) and was designated an official certification lab by Europe’s Global Certification Forum (GCF). In 2025, it also received recognition from North America’s PCS Type Certification Review Board (PTCRB).

The lab’s scope has since expanded to include compliance testing for eCall. In particular, KOLAS-accredited test reports (based on ISO/IEC 17025) are recognized globally under the International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation Mutual Recognition Arrangement (ILAC-MRA) framework, enabling reliable certification processes and supporting regulatory compliance not only in Korea but also across major international markets.

Last year, at a 5GAA event held in Paris, LG demonstrated a satellite‑based voice communication solution for vehicles. Leveraging non‑terrestrial networks (NTN), the live demonstration marked the first instance of uninterrupted, conversation‑level voice communication while switching between terrestrial and non‑terrestrial network environments.

“We will continue to strengthen our leadership in automotive connectivity by leveraging our world-leading telematics technology and proven global competitiveness, while meeting Europe’s stringent safety and regulatory standards,” said Lee Sang-yong, head of VS R&D laboratory at the LG Vehicle Solution Company.

LaVivid Hair Introduces Sports Hair Systems Collection for Men with Active Lifestyles

Published

1 hour ago

June 13, 2026

LaVivid Hair launches a sports-focused hair systems collection designed for men who want breathable comfort, secure attachment, and natural-looking confidence during workouts, football season, summer activities, and everyday movement.

IRVINE, Calif., June 13, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — As global football excitement builds and more men return to sports, workouts, travel, and outdoor activities, LaVivid Hair has introduced its Sports Hair Systems Collection, a curated lineup of breathable, secure, and natural-looking hair systems designed for men with active lifestyles.

Men should not have to choose between looking natural and living actively. This collection was created for customers who want to work out, play sports, travel, and enjoy daily life with more confidence.

For many men experiencing hair loss, staying active can bring concerns that go beyond performance. They may wonder whether a hair system will stay secure during sweat, whether the hairline will remain natural during movement, or whether they can focus on a game, workout, or summer activity without checking their hair.

LaVivid Hair created the Sports Hair Systems Collection to help answer those concerns with practical product choices built around comfort, hold, realism, and easier maintenance.

The collection focuses on four active-wear priorities:

Breathable comfort: Lace and lace-center constructions help improve airflow during warm weather, workouts, and active days.

Secure attachment: Hybrid bases with skin or poly perimeters provide a stable bonding area for tape or glue, helping wearers feel more confident during movement.

Natural appearance: Lace fronts, graduated hairlines, and realistic density options help maintain a natural look from different angles.

Easy maintenance: Active lifestyles require simple bonding, cleaning, and regular upkeep, especially after sweat, heat, or long wear.

“Men should not have to choose between looking natural and living actively,” said a LaVivid Hair spokesperson. “This collection was created for customers who want to work out, play sports, travel, and enjoy daily life with more confidence.”

Top recommendations from the Sports Hair Systems Collection include Simois, Light Crius, Upgrade Ares, and Mars. Each system serves a different active-wear need, from breathable full lace comfort to hybrid lace-and-skin constructions that balance airflow with secure bonding.

Simois is designed for wearers who want a breathable lace center, a natural lace front hairline, and a skin perimeter for reliable attachment. Light Crius offers a lower-density look with French lace comfort and easy bonding, making it suitable for warm-weather wear and lighter active routines. Upgrade Ares combines a lace center with an ultra-thin skin front for wearers who want a natural front appearance with practical maintenance. Mars, a full lace option, is ideal for men who prioritize maximum breathability and lightweight comfort for light sports and summer activity.

For sports and active lifestyles, LaVivid Hair also recommends pairing the right base with dependable attachment products such as Ultra Hold Tape and Ultra Hold Glue. The right adhesive routine can help improve confidence during workouts, football matches, and daily movement.

The Sports Hair Systems Collection is now available at LaVivid Hair. Customers can explore the collection here:
