Qualcomm Technologies, LG Uplus and LG Electronics have deployed what they claim is South Korea’s first 5G mmWave network using a commercial 5G smartphone at the Kumoh National Institute of Technology (KIT).
The 5G mmWave network will enable new services for KIT employees, professors and students, showcasing the technology’s ability to power a “smart campus” model.
For example, the partners said, the 5G mmWave deployment will allow for the use of a virtual desktop environment, so that the KIT community can work securely from a 5G mmWave smartphone or laptop anytime, anywhere on campus. The KIT also plans to use 5G technology to establish high-quality remote classes with two-way communication between students and professors.
