The Korean Ministry of Science and ICT announced that it is working on next-generation network development strategies together with local carriers and tech firms SK Telecom, KT, LG Uplus, Samsung Electronics and LG Electronics, Business Korea reported.
The government and the companies aim to carry out cooperation activities for the development and innovation of 5G backbone and as-yet-unstandardized future 6G networks, the Internet of Things (IoT) and satellite communication, according to the report.
“Future media services will be characterized by a blurry boundary between the virtual world and reality and the six degrees of freedom. These are impossible without 5G evolutions, 6G equipment and ultra-low end-to-end latency,” said the Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute.
