"Now IPTV Outside the Home" KT Develops 5G VR IPTV Technology
Published2018.11.27 09:05Securing 5G VR IPTV playback technology
KT announced on the 25th that, ahead of the opening of the full-scale 5G era next year, it has developed the world's first '5G VR IPTV technology' that allows its IPTV service, 'Olletv,' to be viewed in external environments through wireless-based standalone VR devices (Head Mounted Display, HMD).
You can now watch IPTV outdoors using an HMD.
Existing LTE network-based smartphone video services found it difficult to provide high-definition, immersive services due to limitations in speed and display size.
However, with the application of '5G VR IPTV' technology, users can utilize a 5G mobile network that is 20 times faster and a highly immersive HMD to watch high-definition UHD real-time channels and VoD services identical to the IPTV services provided by existing set-top boxes (STBs), and enjoy Olleh TV content anywhere, even outside of the home.
To this end, KT developed a media player for HMDs, content encryption/decryption and UI/UX technologies, as well as unicast-based channel streaming technology that can be linked with 5G networks.
When 5G is fully commercialized, 5G-exclusive VR content and UHD-level high-definition immersive media services are expected to receive significant attention.r />
Park Hyun-jin, Head of KT’s 5G Business Division, stated, “KT’s development of this 5G VR IPTV technology is highly significant in that it provides an opportunity to offer a higher level of ‘next-generation immersive media services’ as a leading 5G operator and to drastically change media viewing habits,” adding, “We plan to continue introducing KT’s unique differentiated services in the upcoming 5G era.”

KT uses AI to identify the cause of network outages.
KT has developed Doctor Lorentz, a solution that analyzes communication failures using artificial intelligence technology to identify root causes and facilitate rapid recovery. Doctor Lorentz is a solution that collects operational big data generated in networks and analyzes the data based on artificial intelligence to identify the root cause of failures within a maximum of one minute. Since the system was modeled after learning the surveillance skills of KT experts through artificial intelligence-based training, rapid response is possible by quickly identifying root causes even when unexpected network failures occur.

ESP32 Development Environment Selection and GPS Application Implementation
The ESP32 is a microcontroller that integrates Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 12-bit ADC, capacitive touch, PWM, DAC, and UART in a single SoC. However, the abundance of features does not by itself solve the designer's problems. The real challenges lie in selecting the appropriate development environment, determining which pins can be used and which must be avoided, and converting raw data from modules into usable information. This document addresses ESP32 peripheral constraints (ADC2 and Wi-Fi coexistence limitation, UART1 occupancy, ADC non-linear regions), the trade-offs between Arduino IDE and ESP-IDF, and the process from connecting NEO-6M/NEO-M8N GPS modules to UART2, parsing NMEA sentences, and visualizing routes in Google Earth, all organized based on documented references.

MIPI CSI-2, DSI-2, C-PHY, D-PHY Test Solution Technical White Paper
The MIPI interface adopts a burst mode that transitions between low-power (LP) and high-speed (HS) states for low-power consumption, and in return, strict timing rules are imposed on state transitions. Additionally, the high-speed section operates as a packet-based protocol with headers, ECC, and CRC, so verification engineers must handle waveforms and protocols simultaneously. Traditional configurations combining general-purpose oscilloscopes and AWGs reveal limitations in setup complexity, measurement uncertainty, and lack of reproducibility when faced with these requirements. This white paper, based on webinar materials, organizes the structure of this problem and describes how the SV5C-DPTXCPTX generator for receiver testing and SV5C-DPRXCPRX analyzer for transmitter testing integrate state transition testing, stressed eye testing, and protocol analysis into a single bench, along with their application boundaries.
