SK Telecom, a major Korean telecommunications company, announced that it has collaborated with Intel to successfully develop technology to reduce communication delays required for the evolution of 6G core architecture.
Inline Service Mesh is a technology developed by the companies that leverages Intel Xeon processors with built-in AI to increase communication speeds within the core network by reducing latency between unit functions without proxies. .
This development will enable AI, which requires large amounts of calculation, to be applied to the core network with a wider range of models.
Both companies claim that by applying the 6G core architecture, communication delays in the core network can be reduced by 70% and service efficiency can be improved by 33%.
SKT has already commercialized technology that reduces wireless resources by 40% and improves connectivity through real-time analysis of actual user movement patterns.
SKT aims to apply the research results to commercial equipment next year. A technical white paper has been published that describes the technology, development process, and benefits.
Based on the results of this research, both companies plan to continue research and development of traffic processing improvement technology that incorporates AI technology in each area of the core network.
“To ensure our leadership in the 6G field, we have achieved new technological achievements through our continued technology development cooperation with Intel,” said Yu Takki, vice president and head of infrastructure technology at SKT.
“We will continue our research and work toward commercialization of our AI-based 6G core architecture.”
The core network is the gateway through which all voice and data traffic generated by customers’ mobile devices passes to access the Internet network.
This is a mobile communication service system that is responsible for security and service quality by interconnecting various systems.
SKT and Intel have worked together for the past decade to develop key wired and wireless mobile communications technologies.
