Tablet PCs enable ultra-high-speed wireless communication via 5G connection
KT announced that it succeeded in connecting KT’s 5G pilot network with Samsung Electronics’ 5G terminals compliant with the ‘Pyeongchang 5G standard’ at the opening and closing ceremony venues and major stadiums of the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics.
In addition, KT successfully conducted a '5G service demonstration' by connecting its completed 5G pilot network with a Samsung Electronics 5G terminal compliant with the 'Pyeongchang 5G Standard' to transmit large-capacity video. This marks the first time that an actual terminal, rather than test equipment, has been connected to a 5G network to deliver a service.
The 5G terminal used by KT and Samsung Electronics for the 5G service demonstration is in the form of a tablet PC, capable of providing basic functions of existing smart terminals and ultra-high-speed wireless data communication through 5G connection. In addition, this terminal is equipped with 5G-4G (LTE) multi-RAT interworking capabilities, allowing users to switch between 4G and 5G networks and use ultra-high-speed data communication services.

KT stated that it has been conducting interoperability tests with Samsung Electronics at the Umeon-dong 5G R&D Center and the Pyeongchang 5G Center for the past several months to deliver services by connecting 5G terminals to the 5G pilot network established in Pyeongchang, and assessed that technology development for 5G commercialization has reached its final stage as the 5G network, terminals, and services have all successfully interoperated.
"Introducing the world's first 5G network at the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympics, which is attracting the attention of people worldwide, was made possible thanks to the technological capabilities and leading investments Korea has accumulated in the ICT sector," said Oh Sung-mok, President of KT Network Division. "We aim to provide the highest level of stable Olympic communication services as well as showcase a variety of 5G services that will amaze the world, and we will make even more thorough preparations during the remaining period."
