KT will run an exhibition hall with the theme of “Life Innovation by 5G” at the world's largest smartphone show, Mobile World Congress 2015 (MWC 2015). The MWC 2015 will be held in Barcelona, Spain from March 2 to 5.
KT has teamed up with leading mobile carriers, including AT&T and Vodafone, to showcase the world’s best 5G technologies at Innovation City, which is the theme exhibition hall of Groupe Speciale Mobile Association (GSMA), an association of mobile operators and related companies.
The exhibition hall of KT is divided into three zones: 5G Infra, 5G Access, and GiGAtopia. In the 5G Infra zone, KT will display network technologies dubbed “10Giga Internet,” which is the basis of 5G, and “5G Ultra-Dense Network,” which allows users to use network services even in “traffic jam” areas like concert halls and hotspot locations.
In the 5G Access zone, it will display various new technologies related to 5G. KT will demonstrate a technology that makes use of the existing WiFi frequency band to LTE and 1 Gbps downloading speed by using a nine-band carrier aggregation (CA) tech, in which nine frequencies are integrated into one.
In the GiGAtopia zone, it will show movies on how numerous things will become the Internet of Things (IoT) and change people's daily lives by setting GiGA home, GiGA shop, and GiGA school, which are based on the GiGA Infra.
Meanwhile, KT Chairman Hwang Chang-gyu will deliver the keynote speech of “The Road to 5G” at the MWC 2015, and stress the necessity of the ultra-real time and ultra-mass network.
