Samsung Electronics Succeeds in Demonstrating Seamless Video Calls Using Disaster Safety Communications Network Technology
Published2017.02.23 12:33Samsung Electronics announced on the 23rd that it has successfully demonstrated video calls utilizing MCPTT (Mission Critical Push To Talk), an international standard technology, on the national disaster communications network PS-LTE.
MCPTT is a core technology in the PS-LTE field defined by 3GPP, the international standards organization, in 2016, and supports individual, group, and emergency call functions between terminals.
Samsung Electronics successfully conducted multi-party video calls between a central control center and national disaster communications network terminals using MCPTT technology, and succeeded in transmitting high-quality video without interruption while reducing bandwidth usage.
Samsung Electronics plans to begin full-scale application of this technology starting with the 'Wonju-Gangneung Route Project,' which is the world's first high-speed rail integrated wireless network LTE-R project, and the airport railroad project recently awarded.
Meanwhile, the technology demonstrated this time is expected to expand the localization of railway communication networks and enable participation by various domestic small and medium-sized terminal manufacturers.

SK Telecom First Applies AI-Based Network Operations at Gwanghwamun K-Pop Concert
SK Telecom announced that it applied an AI-based network operation system for the first time at a large-scale K-pop concert held in the Gwanghwamun area of Seoul on March 21st, managing communication quality throughout the event. Mobile data usage during the three hours before and after the concert reached 12.15TB, approximately doubling compared to the same time slot the previous weekend. SK Telecom monitored traffic using the AI system 'A-One' in five-minute and 50-meter units to respond to potential overload situations, while also operating temporary communication facilities and on-site personnel in parallel. This case is interpreted as confirmation of the practical applicability of AI-based autonomous network operation in an environment where demand from dense events and foreign users increases simultaneously.
