Korea Telecom CEO: I envision a world where everything is connected with 5G
Yesterday a talk about 5G technology with Dr. Chang-Gyu Hwang from South Korea was hosted by D-ITET and ETH Global. The CEO of KT Corporation (Korea Telecom) spoke on how 5G will change our everyday life. Adapting a quote from Nobel Laureate, Dennis Gabor, he said, "The future is not to be predicted, but created ... and we have to be the one's to create it."
Chang-Gyu Hwang explained that 5G technology proposes super connectivity up to 20 times faster, ultra low latency vital for applications such as autonomous vehicles or remote surgery and that the low latency also helps to conserve battery power.
KT has been the top global leader in 5G commercialization and showcased the world's FIRST trial of 5G services at the PyeongChang Winter Olympic Games in February last year. (see external page press release).
