KT has implemented special communication measures in preparation for the expected crowds at the fireworks festival scheduled for September 5.
On September 2, KT announced that it has taken proactive steps to address the surge in high-volume data transmission that typically occurs during the event.
The company has assessed communication quality around Yeouido Hangang Park and nearby subway stations, increasing the capacity of surrounding base stations. Additionally, mobile base stations have been deployed to enhance network capacity.
On the day of the festival, KT will operate a 24-hour response system centered in a comprehensive control room, increasing support staff to address any unusual occurrences.
KT plans to utilize '5G network slicing technology' to ensure that the event organizers can receive real-time closed-circuit television (CCTV) feeds without congestion. This technology divides a single 5G network into multiple segments to provide stable communication quality for specific services.
Jung Seon-il, head of KT's Network Operations Innovation Division, stated, "The fireworks festival is a representative event where large-scale traffic concentrates in a short period. We will ensure that attendees can smoothly share their experiences with family and friends."
