Huawei, a major player in the telecommunications equipment market, is facing concerns not only from the United States but also from South Korea. With plans to launch its 5G network as early as March next year, South Korea aims to become the first country globally to introduce commercial 5G services. However, this rapid rollout has raised questions about over-reliance on Chinese telecom equipment, particularly Huawei.
According to BusinessKorea, members of South Korea's ruling party have expressed worries that rushing into 5G could lead to excessive dependence on Huawei. Critics argue that promoting 5G could inadvertently help foreign companies like Huawei gain more market share and profit. In response, South Korea’s Minister of Science and Technology, Yoo Young-min, emphasized that delaying 5G commercialization beyond the first half of 2019 could put the country at a disadvantage. During the Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Spain, he noted that Huawei’s equipment was among the fastest, prompting concerns that South Korea’s 5G initiative might benefit the company.
To address these issues, Yoo suggested that telecom operators should collaborate with large industry groups and small and medium-sized enterprises. If operators are willing to invest, they can quickly develop their own 5G networks. This approach aims to reduce dependency on any single supplier while ensuring the country remains competitive in the global 5G race.
South Korea is pushing hard to lead in 5G development. Korea Telecom, one of the country’s main providers, has introduced a strategic plan called "GiGAtopia," which outlines clear goals for the future of high-speed connectivity. The company has already deployed services such as GiGA Internet and GiGA LTE, serving over two million users. These initiatives reflect Korea Telecom’s growing expertise in infrastructure and service delivery, bringing it closer to the 5G era.
The company plans to launch commercial 5G services in 2019 and showcased its capabilities during the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympics. At the event, Korea Telecom demonstrated various 5G applications, including immersive media experiences like "Omni-View" and "Sync-View," as well as autonomous vehicles. These demonstrations aimed to highlight how 5G and ICT will transform everyday life in the near future.
Beyond telecom, Korea Telecom is actively working to integrate 5G into other sectors, such as energy, automotive, agriculture, and healthcare. For instance, it offers a "KT-MEG" microgrid service that manages power usage across thousands of customers using a communication network. By leveraging big data analytics, the company helps improve efficiency and productivity in energy management.
Moreover, Korea Telecom has developed applications ranging from auto insurance to flu prevention, showing the wide-ranging potential of 5G technology. While some improvements, like faster speeds and lower latency, are already being realized through existing technologies like 4G LTE and IoT, 5G promises to take things even further.
Once fully commercialized, 5G will enable more diverse and accurate applications, accelerating the pace of technological change. It is expected to deliver data speeds up to 100 times faster than current 4G LTE networks, with ultra-low latency and the ability to connect thousands of devices simultaneously. When combined with cloud computing, AI, and big data, 5G has the potential to revolutionize industries and drive society toward a more automated and intelligent future.
