BARCELONA, Spain - SK Telecom (NYSE: SKM) announced its participation in the 2015 GSMA Mobile World Congress to be held from March 2 to 5, at Fira Gran Via, Barcelona, Spain. <\/p>\n
Under the theme of \"Journey to the New World of Innovation,\" SK Telecom will showcase advanced network technologies aimed at accelerating the evolution towards 5G; introduce 5G platforms in five different areas, namely IoT, location-based service, intelligence, commerce and Big Data; and unveil new consumer-centric IoT devices, or Lifeware, developed to bring innovative changes to people's daily lives. <\/p>\n
Advanced Technologies to Accelerate Evolution to 5G <\/p>\n
SK Telecom will demonstrate 7.5Gbps data transmission through 3D Beamforming technology using millimeter wave (mmWave)* frequency bands. Due to saturation and fragmentation of frequency resources in bands below 6GHz being used today for mobile telecommunications, technologies that enable the utilization of mmWave frequency bands will play an important part in realizing early commercialization of 5G.*Millimeter-wave (mmWave) refers to electromagnetic waves with a frequency of 30GHz to 300GHz, and wavelength between 1mm to 10mm. <\/p>\n
The company will also showcase new telecommunications technologies, including Fast Data Platform for Network, T Oven and Quantum Cryptography System to enhance the completeness of the 5G network system. <\/p>\n
Fast Data Platform is an innovative platform that prevents service quality degradation by collecting and analyzing Big Data generated by the network, and T OVEN is a technology capable of orchestrating a virtualized network. <\/p>\n
Quantum Cryptography System is by far the best data security technology as it uses quantum mechanics to prevent hacking of data in transit unlike the traditional data security technology that uses a cryptography algorithm based on prime factorization. The system, once commercialized, will open a new paradigm in security of national backbone network, financial network and medical information network. <\/p>\n
Five Different 5G Platforms in Areas of IoT, Location-based Service, Intelligence, Commerce and Big Data <\/p>\n
At this year's MWC exhibition, SK Telecom will also suggest how people's lives will be transformed in the 5G era through innovative platforms designed to maximize the value of the 5G network. <\/p>\n
Mobius, an open IoT platform based on one M2M standards, offers advanced connectivity of devices, systems, and services that goes beyond machine-to-machine communications (M2M). SK Telecom will demonstrate SK Planet's Weather Pong, a real-time weather information system that provides weather updates and forecasts through sensors installed in SK Telecom base stations. <\/p>\n
