SK Telecom (SKT) is collaborating with Intel to develop technology that leverages Intel Xeon processors with built-in AI to reduce latency between unit functions and increase communication speeds within the core network without proxies. We announced that we have developed an inline service mesh that allows you to: .

The joint statement pointed out that with the development of core network technology, the number of detailed functions that provide the various systems that make up the network and the various services that it provides are also increasing explosively. Therefore, as network complexity increases, the process of sending and receiving messages is frequently recreated. As a result, communication delays will increase compared to conventional methods.
core network
SKT and Intel It states that existing communication standard technologies for interconnection between unit functions within the core network (service communication proxies) have difficulty addressing these limitations.
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.
Inline service mesh
This technology enables the application of AI to the core network of a wider range of models. S.K.T. The company said it has already commercialized technology that reduces wireless resources by 40 percent and improves connectivity through real-time analysis of actual user movement patterns.

Benefits and commercialization
Through this partnership, the two companies will reportedly be able to reduce communication latency in the core network by 70 percent and improve service efficiency by 33 percent through the application of 6G core architecture.
future development
SK Telecom also plans to apply the results of this research to commercial equipment next year. Both technology partners plan to continue research and development of traffic processing improvement technologies that incorporate AI technology in various areas of the core network.
A technical white paper describing the technology, development process, and benefits of Inline Service Mesh is also available.
