A bridgehead for Korean 5G technology to enter Europe has been established.
Claudia Nemat, Executive Director of Technology Innovation at Deutsche Telekom, introducing the SKT 5G RF repeater at a press conference held in Bonn, Germany, on the 26th (local time).

SK Telecom and Deutsche Telekom announced on the 27th that they will deploy 5G RF (Radio Frequency) repeaters developed based on Korean technology in major German cities during the second quarter of this year and launch customer experience services.

A 5G RF repeater is equipment that receives 5G radio waves from an outdoor base station and amplifies them into indoor areas where radio waves are difficult to reach, such as buildings, tunnels, and underground spaces, thereby expanding 5G coverage.

SK Telecom's 5G RF repeaters, capable of relaying signals without a wired network connection, have been installed in major buildings across Korea since last year. In January of this year, SK Telecom and Deutsche Telekom upgraded the repeaters to suit the 5G environments in Germany and Europe.

The two companies will conduct field tests of the repeaters starting this month, and will launch a customer experience service for 200 customers in Germany starting in the second quarter of this year. Deutsche Telekom began recruiting participants from individual and corporate customers on the 27th of last month.

Moving forward, the two companies plan to analyze customer feedback and data to optimize the repeater for the German 5G network and then commercialize it in Germany.
