Solving traffic internally with core 5G CUPS technology
Published2019.12.25 10:28Customized B2B services are possible simply by building a traffic processing unit.
As KT builds a dedicated enterprise 5G network at Samsung Electronics' Suwon plant using CUPS technology, one of the core technologies of 5G, the commercialization of 5G-based B2B services is expected to become possible.

KT announced that it completed the construction of a dedicated enterprise 5G system using CUPS (Control & User Plane Separation) technology at Samsung Electronics' Suwon plant last November, the first of its kind in Korea, and that Samsung Electronics plans to utilize it in its equipment manufacturing process.
KT, which built eight 5G edge communication centers nationwide using CUPS technology last March and realized commercial 5G services with significantly reduced service latency, has also applied CUPS technology to the B2B sector to provide dedicated 5G networks to enterprises.
Unlike general-purpose 5G networks, dedicated enterprise 5G networks require the rapid deployment and provision of 5G systems tailored to the scale and services of client companies in the form of a dedicated network. In 5G networks utilizing CUPS technology, signal processing and traffic processing can be separated, allowing companies to use the service by installing only traffic processing devices at their business sites.
In addition, applying CUPS technology not only makes 5G network deployment much simpler but also internal enterprise 5G servicesIt can rapidly respond to traffic generated in the system on its own, making it possible to build a 5G system tailored to the type of client.
Seo Chang-seok, Executive Vice President and Head of KT’s Network Strategy Division, said, “KT aims to provide highly satisfactory services through continuous 5G technology development,” adding, “We will lead the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution by supporting the realization of smart factories, robot services, and smart manufacturing in various corporate sites through CUPS-based enterprise-dedicated 5G networks.”
KT plans to contribute to the discovery of 5G-based B2B services, such as smart factories and robot control, by expanding the application of CUPS technology when building dedicated 5G networks for enterprises.

5G-based 119 video call reporting service commercialized nationwide.
Over 10 million emergency calls to 119 are received annually, with the vast majority coming through voice calls. Although 119 call centers wanted to conduct video calls with callers to better understand the situation, the system infrastructure was insufficient to enable this. Accordingly, the National Fire Agency and KT commercialized the 5G-based 119 video call reporting service nationwide today, which allows 119 call centers and emergency patients to conduct mutual video calls based on wireless communication including 5G.

SK Telecom First Applies AI-Based Network Operations at Gwanghwamun K-Pop Concert
SK텔레콤이 3월 21일 서울 광화문 일대에서 열린 대형 K-팝 공연에 AI 기반 네트워크 운영 시스템을 처음 적용해 통신 품질을 관리했다고 밝혔다. 공연 전후 3시간 동안 모바일 데이터 사용량은 12.15TB로 직전 주말 같은 시간대보다 약 2배 늘었다. SK텔레콤은 AI 시스템 ‘A-One’을 활용해 5분 단위, 50m 단위로 트래픽을 감시하며 과부하 가능성에 대응했고, 임시 통신 시설과 현장 인력 운영도 병행했다. 밀집 행사와 외국인 이용 수요가 동시에 늘어나는 환경에서 AI 기반 자율 네트워크 운영의 현장 적용 가능성을 확인한 사례로 해석된다.
