Korean carrier SK Telecom announced the deployment of what it claims to be South Korea’s first 400 Gbps high-capacity wired network, used in its 5G mobile communication backbone, local newspaper The Korea Economic Daily reported.
The carrier noted the new 400 Gbps network boosts network management efficiency by reducing the number of wired networks connecting the backbone.
“A rising number of services require large-capacity communication data traffic like artificial intelligence (AI) and the cloud,” the company said. “We decided to adopt this wired network ahead of the expansion of communication networks stemming from the future advancement of 5G and commercialization of 6G.”
