KT announced on the 17th that it will open the 'Pyeongchang 5G Center' at the Pyeongchang Alpensia Ski Jumping Center and begin full-scale operation to showcase a successful 5G demonstration service in Pyeongchang in 2018.

The 'Pyeongchang 5G Center' is a communications center that researches and demonstrates 5G technology and will operate until January 2018.

The Pyeongchang 5G Center is equipped with various 5G network equipment and terminals, including base stations and antennas that comply with the '5G-SIG standard' developed by KT in collaboration with global manufacturers.

In addition, various experiential equipment such as Sync View, VR, holograms, and game simulators have been installed to verify new video services, enabling end-to-end research from 5G infrastructure to services.

KT will utilize the 'Pyeongchang 5G Center' to verify the performance of newly developed 5G equipment in a field environment and conduct tests to connect base stations with terminals to ensure optimal wireless quality. In addition, the 'Pyeongchang 5G Center' serves as a forward base for realizing successful 5G pilot services by carrying out national 5G-related projects.

KT announced that in 2018, it plans to provide 5G pilot services expanded beyond the Pyeongchang area to some areas of Seoul to visitors from around the world by linking equipment within the 'Pyeongchang 5G Center', the 5G R&D Center in Umyeon-dong, KT telecommunications offices in the Pyeongchang area, and Olympic facilities.
