The Korean Telco Said It Will Initially Deploy 5G Service On A Major Expressway

South Korean mobile carrier KT confirmed it will start deploying its 5G network in major parts of PyeongChang this month in a move to accelerate its preparations for the 2018 Winter Olympic Games.

KT signed an agreement with Korea Expressway Corp (KEC) for the deployment of 5G infrastructure on major roads and facilities in PyeongChang.

The telco said it will start installing the equipment at Daegwallyeong Tunnels, which consists of six tunnels along Expressway 50, with a goal to provide services for drivers starting in February of next year.

“Based on the agreement with the KEC, KT will be able to provide more visitors with chances to experience 5G services ahead of their commercialization,” said Kim Young-in, senior vice president of the company’s network division.

KT previously announced plans to test a 5G network during a five-month period before it launches a trial service in early February 2018.

HDG radiating cable self-locking hanger kit, is designed to fasten and fix radiating cables & leaky cables (or pipes) along wall or steel wire. It is always used in the environments of tunnels, wall and underground pipeline
