Ericsson and KT strengthen collaboration to develop 5G and IoT Technologies

Chang-gyu Hwang, CEO of South Korea’s telecom provider KT, visited Ericsson’s headquarters in Stockholm, Sweden, on May 29 to meet Ericsson President and CEO Hans Vestberg. The two have agreed to strengthen their collaboration in leading the 5G evolution and to extend this to the Internet of Things (IoT).

Hwang said, “We are delighted to lead 5G next-generation network technologies in cooperation with Ericsson, the world-leading provider of communications technologies and services. KT is preparing to preview the world’s first, innovative 5G communications services at the PyeongChang 2018 Olympics. Our cooperation with Ericsson will strengthen our strategy to lead 5G and provide seamless connectivity to our consumers.”

Ericsson and KT have been working closely together to enable the Networked Society. They have successfully verified heterogeneous network carrier aggregation technology, a key element of 5G last year. More recently, they have successfully demonstrated 5G Multipoint Connectivity with Distributed MIMO with 5G mobile device equipment installed in a moving vehicle. Multipoint Connectivity with Distributed MIMO with 5G enables the connection of a large number of small cells without interruption, and eliminates possible blind spots in coverage areas. This makes it possible to support gigabit-level wireless services like hologram video communication to moving vehicles.
