SKT and U+ Share Technical Specifications for 5G IoT Network Interoperability
Carrier pre-testing can be replaced with NIPA testing.
SKT and U+, which are competing for dominance in 5G, have agreed to cooperate only on the activation of the IoT ecosystem.

SK Telecom, LG Uplus, and the National Information & Communication Technology Promotion Agency (NIPA) announced on the 10th that they have signed a business agreement to create a win-win cooperation ecosystem in the 5G IoT sector.
U+ and SK are engaged in a fierce battle in the 5G infrastructure sector, accepting a decline in operating profit compared to the same period last year. Any product can become an IoT product as long as it can be connected to the Internet. Therefore, no single business operator can manufacture all IoT products.
The cooperation between the two companies is interpreted as an intention to attract the participation of small and medium-sized enterprises to expand the overall IoT market and secure a competitive edge unique to 5G that is distinct from Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and others.
The three companies have agreed to support domestic small and medium-sized enterprises in discovering 5G-based IoT services and building industrial competitiveness.
NIPA plans to create an environment where IoT products can be inspected and pre-tested in accordance with 5G interoperability technical specifications.
SKT and U+ have agreed to maintain cooperation by sharing technical specifications for network interoperability related to 5G IoT and regularly exchanging information on each company's test environments.
In addition, the system has been improved to allow carrier pre-testing, which is essential for the commercialization of 5G IoT products, to be replaced by NIPA's testing. We also plan to continue providing support to small and medium-sized enterprises, such as technical advisory and consulting related to 5G IoT.
Kim Deuk-joong, Head of the AI Convergence Industry Division at NIPA, stated, “This agreement will serve as an opportunity to establish a co-growth ecosystem between large and small businesses that leads innovation in the future ICT industry and fosters innovative small and medium-sized enterprises together.”
Park Sang-bong, Head of Quality Center at LG Uplus, said, “We will contribute to the expansion of products from small and medium-sized enterprises through LG Uplus’s 5G network technology and create an exemplary case of shared growth in the 5G ecosystem.”
SK Telecom’s Choi Nak-hoon, Head of the 5GX IoT/Data Group, stated, “SK Telecom plans to actively support the growth of competitive small and medium-sized enterprises to lead the 5G IoT ecosystem.”
