Users of SK Telecom, South Korea's largest mobile carrier, will be able to experience an ultra-fast data communication network, helped by the successful test of its new commercial network in a joint operation with Sweden's telecom company Nokia.
SK Telecom said it has succeeded in testing a wireless network with a speed of more than 1Gbps over five LTE frequency ranges. It's fast enough for users to download a full-HD movie in 10 seconds and a multi-antenna was used to double the speed of transmitting data.
SK Telecom's new technology was seen as the last phase of LTE ahead of 5G. The company would gradually expand its ultra-fast service accordingly for new devices.
