Ericsson, KT to start 5G test bed, strike IoT partnership

South Korean operator KT and Ericsson have agreed to strengthen their cooperation in the development of 5G evolution, and to extend this to the Internet of Things (IoT). As an extension to their MoU singed at the Mobile World Congress 2015 for collaboration on the next-generation networks, KT and Ericsson have inked another MoU for collaboration in the area of the IoT. Ericsson and KT have also agreed to explore new B2B and B2G IoT business opportunities.

KT is preparing to preview 5G communications services at the PyeongChang 2018 Olympics. Ericsson and KT have been working together to enable the Networked Society concept. They have successfully verified heterogeneous network carrier aggregation technology in 2014. More recently, they have demonstrated 5G Multipoint Connectivity with Distributed MIMO with 5G mobile device equipment installed in a moving vehicle.

5G is expected to be commercially available from 2020, but Ericsson already has live indoor and outdoor 5G test networks in Sweden and the US. KT will also start a 5G indoor and outdoor test bed at its R&D center this year in partnership with Ericsson. The two companies will jointly develop and verify 5G mobile broadband access technologies in 5G candidate frequency bands, ultra-dense network operation technologies, and 5G core technologies and systems.
