Real-time fault cause analysis and remote recovery based on wired and wireless network monitoring capabilities
With the full-scale launch of the LTE-M (Internet of Things) business, early service stabilization is expected thanks to stable monitoring capabilities.

KT (www.kt.com, Chairman Hwang Chang-gyu) announced on the 18th that it has opened the 'GiGA IoT Smart Center' on the 7th floor of the KT Gwacheon Branch building in Gwacheon, Gyeonggi-do, which controls IoT service monitoring functions and platforms.

KT has enhanced its real-time monitoring capabilities for IoT service status by integrating distributed monitoring from five existing IDC centers through the GiGA IoT Smart Center. This enables the detection of failures in each service and reduces the response time following the occurrence of failures.

In addition, by applying KT's existing integrated wired and wireless network monitoring capabilities, a system was established that enables real-time fault cause analysis and remote recovery, ensuring the stable operation and quality of the service.

In particular, once the LTE-M business, which KT is proactively leading, is fully launched, it is expected to contribute to the early establishment of LTE-M services by securing stable monitoring capabilities for the rapidly increasing number of IoT devices.

The KT GiGA IoT Smart Center enables real-time monitoring of the operational status of terminals and sensors through the control of services such as fire monitoring, environmental monitoring, food waste volume-based charging, smart toner, and the Fleet Management System (FMS).

Kim Hyung-wook, Executive Vice President and Head of KT’s Platform Business Planning Office, stated, “Demand for IoT is continuously increasing, ranging from credit card payment terminals and household gas safety valves to large-scale factories and rural farms,” adding, “Through the GiGA IoT Smart Center, KT will secure the stability of growing IoT services and enhance their quality to provide the best possible service to our customers.”
