5G CCTV-based road safety services are also under development.
A domestic research team has developed smart city technology that precisely monitors various areas of a city using 5G communications. This technology can also be used for density analysis to manage quarantine within buildings, making it a valuable tool for security control within buildings.
The Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI) announced on the 6th that it has developed a 5G drone-based control service solution and a 5G CCTV-based intelligent road safety support service technology, and has completed verification for a precision control service.
The 5G drone-based control service solution jointly developed by ETRI and KT is a technology that uses drones to remotely control cracks in bridges or dangerous facilities in real time and send UHD video to KT's 5G commercial network.
This technology enables real-time monitoring of on-site situations with far greater precision and clarity than existing mobile communication technologies capable of transmitting FHD video. In particular, it enables remote drone control and video transmission without interruption or delay, facilitating inspections of difficult-to-access bridges, transmission towers, large stadiums, and other facilities at risk of collapse.
The research team has been applying this technology to public facility control services for safety management and has been conducting demonstrations in Daejeon and Daegu since July. Additionally, on the 2nd, it was utilized in the 2020 winter smart snowfall response field training hosted by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety and Daejeon City near Gori Village, Goegok-dong, Seo-gu, Daejeon.
Additionally, ETRI is developing an intelligent road safety support service based on 5G CCTV, aiming for commercialization. Existing intelligent CCTV systems transmit captured footage to a central control center, where it is then analyzed on a server for post-processing.
The research team embedded AI chips into CCTV cameras, enabling them to recognize potential road hazards in real time. These chips can alert nearby users to potential hazards through audio devices, digital signage, and smartphones, enabling immediate response to safety incidents.
The research team also developed technology that can intelligently manage urban traffic control by identifying the speed, direction, and characteristics of vehicles and pedestrians. Since 2018, the research team has been verifying this technology at joint research institutes, Suseong Alpha City in Daegu and Daedeok R&D Special Zone in Daejeon, selected as demonstration sites.
In addition, ETRI has developed and demonstrated various technologies, including a hyper-connected IoT-based mobile shared facility management service and a crowdsourcing-based urban information sharing service. Going forward, ETRI plans to conduct research on various intelligent technologies, including security control, traffic recognition, autonomous driving, quarantine management, and drones, to facilitate the widespread adoption of 5G-based services.

3 mobile carriers accept '3.17 trillion' in exchange for frequency reallocation... "Conditions for building 5G wireless stations"
Discussions on frequency reallocation have been concluded. The three mobile carriers will be required to pay between a minimum of 3.17 trillion won and a maximum of 3.77 trillion won, depending on the number of 5G wireless stations constructed, in exchange for reusing 310㎒ of the 320㎒ bandwidth of 3G and LTE frequency bands whose usage period expires in 2021 for the next five years. The Ministry of Science and ICT has finalized the detailed policy plan for mobile communication frequency reallocation containing these provisions, and SK Telecom, KT, and LG U+ have accepted it.

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.
