SK Telecom secures the foundation for 6G evolution by upgrading its core network Plan to continue strengthening technological capabilities and research and development to complete the infrastructure that includes artificial intelligence technology by 2025
[Introduction of the incident/ Reporter Park Yeon-pa] = SK Telecom (CEO Yoo Young-sang) and Ericsson (CEO Borge Ekholm) are using the latest technologies such as packet acceleration processing, route optimization, and multi-flow control for ultra-high-speed and large-capacity 5G services. announced on the 21st that it has commercialized
SKT was the first in the world to commercialize a new core network using a “bare metal-based cloud-native” method, improving traffic processing efficiency by up to 50% compared to existing physical-based cores.
Bare metal-based cloud native is an advanced technology compared to the existing virtualization-based system, and it makes the system lightweight so that the operating system is not redundantly installed between hardware resources and virtual resources existing in the cloud.
Through this, the advanced core network can quickly respond to the expansion of communication equipment in industrial sites and the rapid increase in traffic such as tourist destinations and concert halls during the holidays, thereby shortening the working hours of engineers and having the advantage of being able to cope effectively.
Increased communication network stability and efficiency by applying advanced cloud technology to commercial networks for the first time in the world
The bare metal-based cloud-native method commercialized for the first time in the world by SKT and Ericsson significantly increases the speed of applying new applications to the communication network and service stability compared to the method in which engineers physically manage equipment. As well as flexible network management, real-time recovery functions can be applied to quickly respond to network overload or failure.
The bare metal-based cloud-native core network is expected to be suitable for personalization services or various types of on-demand services required by companies and institutions. It is expected to be widely used to build various media services, including metaverse, and B2B solutions, led by smart factories.
Leading the evolution to 6G infrastructure by preemptively introducing cloud-native-based technologies
In the industrial field, as the number of advanced ICT services based on 5G, Internet of Things (IoT), and artificial intelligence (AI) increases, application development and modification for network advancement are being made frequently. In order to properly accommodate these tasks, telecom operators are making efforts to efficiently manage and automate the process of application integration and deployment.
SKT and Ericsson have been developing and verifying the cloud-native-based core network in stages since 2019, and since November of last year, they have been testing for commercial services through full-fledged equipment construction.
SKT believes that cloud-native-based technology, the latest virtualization technology that will be used as the basic structure of the 6G core network in the future, will go beyond the advancement of 5G and lead to the evolution of 6G. To this end, the company plans to continue strengthening its technological capabilities and conducting research and development to complete the infrastructure including 6G mobile communication, ultra-precision network technology, and artificial intelligence technology by 2025.
Park Jong-gwan, head of SKT's infrastructure technology, said, "Based on the commercialization of a bare-metal-based cloud-native core network, we have laid the foundation to provide cutting-edge ICT services more efficiently and stably. We will continue to research, develop, and apply network technology with the goal of growing specialized services and successfully commercializing them.”
Monica Zethzon, head of Ericsson Solutions Packet Core, said, “It is meaningful that SKT and bare metal-based cloud-native-based core solutions were commercialized for the first time in the world in the Korean market, which provides the highest level of 5G services.” “Ericsson’s We will continue to support the innovation ecosystem of global businesses with our next-generation core solutions.”
