The three major telecommunications companies in South Korea—SK Telecom, KT, and LG Uplus—are implementing a special communication system utilizing artificial intelligence (AI) to prepare for increased communication traffic during the Chuseok holiday. They will also offer free video call services during this period.
On September 18, the companies announced that they will operate a situation room from September 24 to 27, coinciding with the Chuseok holiday, to manage the anticipated surge in communication traffic.
SK Telecom will coordinate its response through a comprehensive situation room linked with regional centers. During the holiday, a total of 3,625 personnel from SK Telecom, SK Broadband, SK O&S, and Home & Service, along with maintenance partners, will monitor the national communication network around the clock.
The company plans to operate an AI-based network through its Network Monitoring Center (NMC), utilizing its self-developed wireless network AI operation system, A-One, to analyze nationwide network traffic and equipment status in real time. Additionally, the core network AI integrated monitoring system, Spider, will be used to continuously monitor for anomalies.
KT has designated the period from September 23 to 27 as a 'network intensive management period' to check communication quality at major transportation hubs.
They will also monitor 5G and LTE base stations in densely populated areas 24/7, while enhancing security monitoring to prevent smishing and cyber attacks.
LG Uplus has also activated an emergency operation system, pre-checking base stations in key areas such as highways. To accommodate the expected increase in usage of U+TV and online video services, they are expanding server capacity. A comprehensive situation room will be operated at their Magok headquarters, with 24/7 monitoring planned during the holiday, utilizing the AI-based autonomous operation network platform, AION, to track real-time traffic changes.
