Summary:
5G mobile system is known to have such characteristics as Ultra High Speed, Ultra Low Latency, and Massive Connectivity. As an official partner of 2018 Pyeongchang winter Olympic Games for ICT services, KT had announced it would build 5G network in the Olympic venue area to show new services and applications based on those characteristics, and showed successfully 5G trial services in the Games last February.
In this article, we are going to look at the 5G trial networks and services in detail, along with some lessons learned from the trial, and also going to share some of our thoughts about future plan for 5G commercialization briefly.
