Remote configuration of 'mobile 5G infrastructure' software using virtualization technology
It is planned to be used for 5G performance verification, customer experience events, etc.


SK Telecom announced that it has become able to provide 'customized 5G' services for disaster recovery and large-scale events by linking its virtualization platform (T-MANO) with 'mobile 5G infrastructure'.

The 'Mobile 5G Infrastructure,' a non-fixed communication facility created by modifying a large van as an improved version of a mobile base station, is equipped with all the equipment necessary for 5G services, such as base stations, antennas, switches, and servers, and creates a 5G communication area with a radius of 500m to 1km even without other communication facilities nearby.

The 'Virtualization Platform T-MANO' optimizes 'mobile 5G infrastructure' to suit on-site conditions through remote software configuration alone. In addition, virtualization technology eliminates the hassle of having to individually replace communication equipment from various manufacturers to suit the deployment site. This reduces the time required for preparation, deployment, and installation of 'mobile 5G infrastructure'.



And when communication facilities are damaged due to disasters or power outages, if infrastructure is installed at the site, a '5G communication network dedicated to emergency rescue personnel' can be established. If the platform changes its software, it transforms into a '5G communication network for distress rescue drones' in the same situation.

It can also be used as an 'event-dedicated network' to create a communication network for specific customers at large-scale event sites such as fireworks festivals and sports games, or to transmit ultra-large capacity video to electronic display boards using 5G.

SK Telecom plans to operate 'mobile 5G infrastructure' at 5G customer experience events and emergency disaster sites until it is commercialized nationwide.

In addition, SK Telecom successfully tested the simultaneous interconnection of multiple 5G test networks and mobile 5G infrastructure on a single virtualization platform. Following the end-to-end 5G interconnection platform developed last year, SK Telecom has secured advanced network virtualization technology.

Park Jin-hyo, Head of SK Telecom’s ICT Technology Institute, said, “Mobile 5G infrastructure will play a leading role in verifying 5G performance in extreme environments such as disasters and bad weather,” adding, “We will build a world-class network virtualization environment in preparation for the imminent commercialization of 5G.”
