South Korea’s largest mobile operator, SK Telecom, announced that it has successfully tested interoperability between a 5G Non Standalone (NSA) core developed by compatriot company Samsung Electronics and 5G base stations made by European vendors Nokia and Ericsson.
SK Telecom had selected the three vendors as its preferred bidders for 5G equipment in September.
The interoperability test took place at the carrier’s 5G testbed located in its Bundang office building.
