Private 5G Frequency Allocation Status in Korea
 
 

 

 

 

On October 28, 2021, the South Korean government (Ministry of Science and ICT: MSIT) started offering private 5G frequencies (100MHz@4.7GHz, 600MHz@28GHz) in an effort to deploy private 5G, a crucial infrastructure for enterprises' digital transformation, across a variety of industries in South Korea.

 

This private 5G frequencies provided by the MSIT can be used in two ways.

  • Private 5G Operator: Approved by MSIT as a private 5G common carrier and assigned private 5G frequencies by MSIT to provide private 5G network services to enterprise customers.
  • Enterprise DIY: Enterprises are assigned private 5G frequencies by MSIT to build their own private wireless networks.

Mobile network operators (SK Telecom, KT, and LG U+) in South Korea are not permitted to become private 5G operators. Because of antitrust issues, the government has barred MNOs from operating as private 5G operators.

 

The table below lists the operators and enterprises to which the MSIT has assigned private 5G frequencies. As of January 1, 2024, private 5G frequencies have been assigned to 48 locations in 25 companies.
