LG U+ wanted to address consumer frustrations with a new generation of ultra-thin TVs that offer beautiful visual displays but lack a high-fidelity audio experience.
LG U+ joined forces with Vantiva and HARMAN Embedded Audio group. Together, the team created a multi-service home-entertainment offering that could be integrated onto a high-performance Vantiva CPE device – the LG U+ Soundbar Black.
The LG U+ Soundbar Black was a remarkable success and significantly outperformed the retail segment, shipping twice as many premium soundbar units than conventional retail channels.

In terms of business process innovation, the team developed an affordable lease program that makes the premium device affordable for Korean subscribers. It has proven to be an extremely attractive and cost-effective alternative to retail options for incorporating high-fidelity audio into their home-based entertainment systems.
LG U+ is one of the leading mobile network operators in the highly competitive South Korean market.
