KT Commercializes SDN-Based Network Design Automation Technology
Published2018.03.23 14:50KT has announced the commercialization of a "heterogeneous transmission network investment design automation" solution based on network virtualization (Software Defined Networking, hereinafter SDN) technology.
The solution identifies nationwide network resource information transmitted in real-time from the SDN system and automatically calculates the optimal investment scale required to meet demand.
Previously, to design complex transmission network investments consisting of multiple equipment types from various manufacturers, operators nationwide had to conduct on-site surveys over several months to verify available resources and calculate required investment quantities. However, using the solution developed based on SDN technology, nationwide network resource information can be verified in real-time remotely and accurate investment quantities can be calculated within minutes.
With this, KT has secured core technologies for network operations automation spanning investment design, construction, control, and operations, and plans to expand application of this automation solution across all KT network operations domains including transmission, IP, and wireless sectors in the future.
Additionally, KT plans to soon combine this solution with network investment analysis technology to provide intelligent corporate line consulting that can quickly propose network configurations optimized for individual customers.
Jeon Hong-bum, Executive Vice President and Head of the Infra Research Institute at KT's Convergence Technology Institute, stated, "Taking this acquisition of transmission network operations automation technology as a foundation, we will complete the innovation to achieve full automation across all KT network operations management domains in the future."

KT and Seoul Metropolitan Government Develop 'Living Population Statistical Indicators' Through Big Data Analysis
KT announced that it has completed the development of the 'Seoul Daytime Population Statistics Index' service in collaboration with the Seoul Metropolitan Government utilizing big data analysis, and will make it available to the public through Seoul's Open Data Plaza. KT participated in the 'Open Data Day' event hosted by OK Korea, a civic organization, and conducted discussions on data disclosure and utilization on the theme of 'The Role of Data in the Fourth Industrial Revolution Era,' taking the opportunity of publicly releasing 'Seoul Daytime Population' data. KT and the Seoul Metropolitan Government found that while the registered resident population, which serves as the standard for Seoul's administrative services, has shown a continued downward trend since peaking in 2010, the 'economically active population' and 'daytime population,' which represent productivity and urban vitality, are on an increasing trend. This underscored the necessity for a paradigm shift in population policy to revise the target of Seoul's administrative services from resident population to the actual living population. Accordingly, they conducted joint research over a 10-month period beginning in May 2017.

KT Collaborates with KEPCO E&C on 'ICT-based Energy Convergence Business'
KT and Korea Electric Power Technology have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) for a "cutting-edge ICT-based energy convergence and fusion joint project." Through the MOU, both companies have agreed to jointly pursue ▲identification of energy convergence and fusion business opportunities, ▲development of power plant energy management systems, and ▲technology development for implementing smart power plants. KT has developed an integrated energy management platform 'KT-MEG' and is conducting unified control of energy production and consumption at approximately 12,000 sites. Korea Electric Power Technology, in turn, possesses power plant design capabilities and operational expertise accumulated over 40 years. Both companies have agreed to jointly identify business opportunities in the combined heat and power and renewable energy sectors. Additionally, both companies plan to jointly develop a power plant energy management system (Plant EMS) that enables power plant operation monitoring, predictive diagnosis of risk situations, early warning of risks, and distributed energy management. In the future, they plan to link the power plant energy management system with KT-MEG to implement IoT, big data, and AI-based smart power plants.
