SK Telecom Achieves Successful 5G Communication Transmission in Vehicle Traveling at 170km/h
Published2017.02.08 09:35Overcoming High-Frequency Limitations through 5G Core Technology in Collaboration with Ericsson
SK Telecom has recorded the world's highest 5G speed in an ultra-high-speed driving environment reaching 170km/h.
SK Telecom announced that it successfully achieved communication at 3.6Gbps speed with a connected car traveling at 170km/h at the Yeongjong Island BMW Driving Center, the world's largest-scale 28GHz-based 5G test network, in collaboration with Ericsson and BMW Group Korea.
SK Telecom explained that while the connected car unveiled last November focused on linkage with large-scale 5G test networks and service implementation, this time the focus was on increasing communication speed of connected cars traveling at ultra-high speed.
▲5G Technology Applied to Connected Car
Ultra-high-speed and ultra-low-latency communication utilizing 5G characteristics in connected cars is necessary for safe driving and immersive media viewing. The 3.6Gbps speed has improved stability through video recognition in traveling connected cars and Vehicle to Everything (V2X) technology enhancement. By exchanging large-volume information in real time from surrounding vehicles, traffic signals, and CCTVs, obstacles ahead and behind and sudden situations can be recognized more quickly.
SK Telecom has advanced beamforming and high-speed beam tracking technology to overcome limitations in high-frequency bands. These technologies are core technologies for 5G commercialization that send radio waves limited to the specific terminal while avoiding obstacles. SK Telecom announced that these technologies will have an impact not only on connected cars but on all services based on 5G such as AR, VR, drones, and robots.
