Korean Telecom Showcasing 5G at MWC 2015

Barcelona, Spain — KT, the Korean Telecom, sets fresh standards for global ICT with the advanced 5G technology and this year at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain, KT would be representing the best of Korean IT technology on the global focal platform. The next generation telecommunication technology will be show cased under the theme of Life Innovation by 5G along the side of other global companies. KT will also, in particular demonstrate a number of the world’s latest IoT related technologies.

KT together with the Samsung Electronics collectively developed the Millimeter Wave which is the core technology of 5G which utilizes a higher band frequency than the existing LTE and KT plans. The Millimeter Wave displays, at 28Ghz, a data transmission speed which is more than 100 times faster than the current speed. This technology offers heavy data high speed transmission, hence, making it possible for the users to experience the augmented reality out of the pictures from the ultra high definition videos, hologram images, 360-degrees multifocal camera images, an much more.

The KT has also co-developed the 5G UDN – Ultra Dense Network, with Ericsson, a technology which establishes Small Cells based on very own world’s best optic infrastructure of KT to accommodate more than 100 times more users than earlier.

KT, by taking the advantage of the Device to Device (D2D) technology which it has co-developed with Qualcomm, would present Smart Show Window service for the very first time in the world. It is the technology which showcases the individual customized advertisement with the help of Signage monitor.

The D2D technology is the 4G based technology that makes direct correspondence possible between two devices without the assistance of any mobile communication based station. This allows the users to directly exchange and search the information with counterparts which are located within a radius of 500m.this technology cuts down the communication delay as compared to the current short distance communication technology recognized as Beacon service, enhances five times more coverage and can be utilized for calling in disaster situations. It can also be broaden to wide and diverse future oriented services covering up the Online to Offline, O2O areas like e-commerce, mobile advertisement as well as that of IoT similar to self driving cars.

KT, further, will exhibit the LTE’s technology evolution which involves realizing a 1 Gbps speed with the help of 9band CA linked with 9 frequency bands and, hence, using the existing WiFi frequency band on LTE. KT will, aside from that, demonstrate a technology for the first time that is has co-developed with Nokia recognized as LTE-TDD DL / UL CA. this binds two frequencies of DL (down-link) / UL (uplink) of LTE-TDD and provides even faster downloads speed and, at the same time, speed for uploads. KT would present a vision of the future with the help of high end IoT technologies that can be realized via the aforementioned technologies during the world’s largest mobile telecommunication expo, MWC, in Barcelona, Spain.
