The initiative will allow local companies to test their solutions and services and will use licences in the 4.5 GHz and 28 GHz bands.
The aim of the Open Lab is to develop Korea’s 5G private wireless network ecosystem.
Korea has recently opened up the 4.5 GHz and 28 GHz bands for private networks and awarded licenses to several companies. The 5G ecosystem will accommodate industrial-grade private wireless use cases, including Industry 4.0, Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality and factory automation.
