KT Innovates 'Content Production Environment' with 5G
Published2019.04.12 10:01| Streamlining with 5G, Cloud, and 10G Internet
| 5G-based video data management technology to be commercialized within the year
On the 10th, KT signed an MOU with the Daejeon Information & Culture Industry Promotion Agency (Daejeon Agency), Hwaryeok Daejeon, and Teamnet Korea at the Daejeon Agency for the "discovery and dissemination of advanced new technology service models in the video content industry."
Accordingly, the participating companies plan to develop 'next-generation video data management technology' that combines KT's 5G network, cloud, and 10-gigabit internet, and apply it to film and drama shooting sites in the future. In particular, JK Film, led by Director Yoon Je-kyun, who produced films such as *Haeundae* and *Ode to My Father*, has decided to adopt this technology starting with its next project to reduce production costs and enhance efficiency.
With next-generation video data management technology, you can move away from the method of copying video filmed from a distance onto a hard disk and delivering it to a remote workspace, and instead utilize ultra-high-speed data communication networks such as 5G and 10-gigabit internet and cloud servers to quickly receive and work with video anytime, anywhere.
Key officials attended the signing ceremony on this day, including KT Biz Division Head Kim Bong-gyun, Daejeon Promotion Agency Acting President Choi Kyung-mok, Hwaryeok Daejeon CEO Ok Im-sik, and Teamnet Korea CEO Son Hyun-cheol.
"We plan to support the Korean content industry in securing global competitiveness by expanding content management models based on KT's 5G network and 10-gigabit internet," said Kim Bong-kyun, Senior Vice President and Head of KT's Biz Business Division.
Choi Kyung-mok, Acting Director of the Daejeon Promotion Agency, stated, “Through the signing of this MOU, we plan to develop Daejeon so that it can be reborn as the center of convergence special effects in Korea.”
Hwaryeok Daejeon CEO Ok Im-sik said, “We will significantly improve efficiency through a data management service that transmits video from filming locations nationwide via a 5G network.”
Teamnet Korea CEO Son Hyun-cheol stated, “We plan to continuously strive to pioneer the video industry market utilizing networks and content and develop new business models through ongoing technological cooperation.”

KT Opens World's First 5G-Based UHD Live Broadcasting Era
KT will unveil for the first time a UHD live broadcast utilizing 5G network through the third segment of SBS's live morning program "Morning Wide" on the 19th. The UHD live relay based on 5G network leverages KT's 'Enterprise 5G' service and '5G MNG' equipment. MNG refers to a method of transmitting video footage captured by broadcast cameras through a wireless network. The 5G MNG with KT's Enterprise 5G service applied enables ultra-high-definition video transmission with just a single 5G SIM card. Unlike LTE MNG, the 5G MNG with 'Enterprise 5G' applied is characterized by transmitting UHD video through a dedicated 5G network for broadcasters that is segregated from the public network, minimizing transmission delay.

SK Telecom First Applies AI-Based Network Operations at Gwanghwamun K-Pop Concert
SK Telecom announced that it applied an AI-based network operation system for the first time at a large-scale K-pop concert held in the Gwanghwamun area of Seoul on March 21st, managing communication quality throughout the event. Mobile data usage during the three hours before and after the concert reached 12.15TB, approximately doubling compared to the same time slot the previous weekend. SK Telecom monitored traffic using the AI system 'A-One' in five-minute and 50-meter units to respond to potential overload situations, while also operating temporary communication facilities and on-site personnel in parallel. This case is interpreted as confirmation of the practical applicability of AI-based autonomous network operation in an environment where demand from dense events and foreign users increases simultaneously.
