Providing a realistic 5G solution verification environment
Keysight Technologies, Inc. announced on the 25th the launch of a 5G virtual drive test (VDT) toolset that helps 5G device and chipset manufacturers and mobile operators validate end-user experiences in an automated lab environment that resembles real-world conditions.
Keysight's 5G VDT Toolset combines the company's channel and network emulation capabilities with acquisition, logging, and scripting tools to create a real-world test environment for validating 5G devices under a variety of network signaling and wireless channel conditions.
5G device manufacturers can leverage the toolset to analyze the performance of 5G devices deployed in non-standalone (NSA) or standalone (SA) networks across a variety of mobility scenarios.
Keysight's 5G VDT toolset is part of Keysight's portfolio of network emulation solutions, which includes Keysight's 5G PROPSIM channel emulator, UXM 5G wireless emulator, andThe platform leverages Nemo field measurement solutions to provide 5G design, conformance and operator certification across protocol stacks.
Major wireless equipment manufacturers and mobile operators can use the toolset to automatically benchmark mobile devices and repeatedly replicate specific field problems in a lab environment.
Built-in automation within a software-based environment simplifies device testing and 5G NR standard compliance verification across 3GPP-defined frequency bands. Field-captured data can be leveraged to create customized test cases, enabling comprehensive and in-depth performance analysis.

ETRI succeeds in localizing millimeter wave band 5G small cell SW
ETRI has successfully developed 28GHz band-supporting 5G small cell software technology that improves transmission capacity and perceived communication speed in 5G coverage blind spots and densely populated areas. This has opened the path for domestic small and medium-sized enterprises to commercialize Korean-developed software rather than foreign software in 5G small cell communication equipment.

KT Completes Construction of Korea's First "5G Integrated Core Network"
Currently, domestic 5G services are being provided using the NSA method. NSA separates services by routing control through the LTE network and data through the 5G network, whereas SA processes both control and data through the 5G network. Since SA does not pass through the LTE network, latency is expected to be reduced compared to the NSA method, and battery consumption is anticipated to be lower.

European Patent Applications Surpass 200,000 for the First Time… South Korea Maintains 5th Place, Led by Batteries and Telecommunications
According to the European Patent Office (EPO)'s 'Technology Dashboard 2025', European patent applications last year reached 201,974, surpassing 200,000 for the first time. Korean companies and inventors filed 14,355 applications, representing a 9.5% increase from the previous year and maintaining 5th place by country. Battery, digital communication, and semiconductor technologies led the growth, with Samsung ranking as the top EPO applicant for the second consecutive year and LG reaching 3rd place. The presence of major domestic cities such as Seoul, Suwon, and Yongin was also confirmed. It was also revealed that Korea's European patent strategy is expanding beyond individual technologies to span the entire industry.

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.
