SK Telecom to Build 5G Clusters and 12 MEC in 5G Networks at Key Regions Nationwide

SK Telecom announced that it plans to build ‘5G Cluster’ in business districts, parks and factories to provide differentiated 5G service and benefits in both of B2C and B2B sectors. ‘5G Cluster’ is an advanced 5G environment with cutting-edge ICT including AR, VR, and AI. In the B2C sector, SK Telecom will operate ‘5G League of Legends (LoL) Park’ at Jonggak, Seoul, starting from July 25. At ‘5G LoL Park’, customers can view messages from supporting fans nationwide with Augmented Reality (AR) by facing their smartphones toward a certain location. Customers can also enjoy VR live broadcasting and VR playback during the games. Starting this August, SK Telecom will provide a service that allows customers to meet a variety of animals, including giant cats and wyverns, using AR in Olympic Park and Yeouido Park, Seoul. For example, if customers hold their smartphones toward ‘The Lone Tree’ in Olympic Park, a giant cat will appear on smartphone screen in AR. Moreover, the company plans to transform Jamsil Students' Gymnasium into a 5G Stadium. SK Telecom will further expand 5G experience spaces with immersive media by the end of this year.
