Participation in '2016 Internet of Things International Exhibition' held at COEX until the 14th
Showcasing Home and Industry IoT Services Centered on Connected Car

KT announced on the 11th that it will participate in the '2016 Internet of Things International Exhibition' held at COEX Exhibition Hall in Gangnam-gu, Seoul from the 12th to 14th under the theme of 'Connected Space,' where all spaces are connected and interact based on Internet of Things (IoT) technology.

KT will showcase various IoT services in each of the three spaces in daily life—Connected Home, Connected Car, and Connected Industry—demonstrating how each space is connected based on KT's network and platform technologies.

In particular, in the Connected Car space, KT will demonstrate telematics services that support not only vehicle safety but also convenient driving, electric vehicle charging infrastructure, and Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS), allowing visitors to experience various Internet of Things services in vehicles.

As KT is currently the number one operator in the domestic vehicle IoT field and approximately 89% of new vehicles in 2024 are expected to use IoT services (see below), KT plans to prepare differentiated services for the future Connected Car, including autonomous driving infrastructure, vehicle-exclusive content and app stores, and interoperability between vehicles and homes/offices.

In the Connected Home space, KT showcased KT IoT Home Premium Package that adds comfort and safety to home life, and visitors can directly experience KT's differentiated healthtainment (Health+Entertainment) services such as golf putting and health bikes and participate in events. Additionally, KT will showcase various items for more efficient and safe industrial sites, including smart factories, boiler control, IoT airbag safety belts, fire prevention, smart air quality safety solutions, and maritime/mountain safety solutions.

KT will also separately display small Internet of Things technologies such as LTE-M and NB-IoT, which are the foundational infrastructure for implementing 'Connected Space,' Private LTE technology, a dedicated network for specific business sites, and GiGA IoTMakers, KT's IoT platform.

Multiple Items Co-developed with GiGA IoT Alliance Member Companies, the Largest Scale in Korea on Display

This exhibition will display numerous items co-developed with GiGA IoT Alliance member companies such as Kuitoulammy Boilers, Rockwell, SafeWare, Kolon Industries, Nokia, Carve, and Alton Bicycles, providing a glimpse of KT's 'Ecosystem-based Internet of Things business' strategy.

In particular, Kuitoulammy Boilers will also display solutions that control and monitor boilers using KT's LTE-M network and GiGA IoTMakers platform. When an impact is detected through a seismic sensor, the boiler stops operating, and it can prevent explosion accidents that may occur after the impact.

Kim Jun-geun, Head of KT GiGA IoT Business Division, stated, "Consumers are encountering products and services utilizing Internet of Things technology throughout our lives, and Internet of Things will be applied to the entire personal life cycle going forward." He added, "KT will focus on providing differentiated Internet of Things services by connecting various spaces centered on Connected Car."
