전세계적으로는 여전히 2G 가입이 가장 많으나, 대부분의 나라에서 (2017년 1월 기준 186개국, source: GSA) 4세대 (4G) LTE 서비스를 제공하고 있다. 2016 Q3 기준, 전세계 LTE 가입율은 22.4%로 (source: OVUM) 계속 증가하고 있으며, LTE 선도 사업자들의 LTE 보급율은 70 ~80%를 넘어선 상태이다. 한국 이동통신 3사와 미국 버라이즌처럼 LTE 시장이 성숙한 사업자들은 수익 정체를 겪고 있으며 5G로 전환을 적극적으로 추진하고 있다. 이동통신 기술은 흔히 세대로 구분되어 왔는데, 다음 세대로 진화할 때마다 새로운 주파수와 radio access 기술 (RAT)과 네트워크 (RAN/Core)가 정의되어 더 빠른 속도를 제공하고 새로운...

When we talk about 5G, there is one phrase that everyone agrees and likes to say – 5G will not only enhance speeds, but also have every thing ‘connected’ and every industry ‘converged’. What underlies all of this 'keeping every thing connected' is IoT while what keeps industries converged is artificial intelligence (AI) that analyzes big data and derives in...

5G를 얘기할 때 자주 언급되는 말이 있다. 5G는 단지 속도만 빨라지는 게 아니라 모든 것이 '연결'되고 모든 산업이 '융합'된다는 것이다. 모든 것을 '연결'하는 기술은 IoT를 주축으로 한다. 산업간 '융합'하는 기술로는 big data를 분석하여 지능화하는 인공지능 (artificial intelligence, AI)이 주축이 될 것으로 전망하고 있다. 통신사마다 미래 성장 산업을 얘기할 때 IoT와 인공지능이 빠지지 않는 이유이다. 지난달 11일에는 SK 텔레콤이 AI, 자율주행, IoT 분야를 중심으로 한 new ICT 산업 생태계 조성/육성을 위해 3년간 5조원을 투자한다고 발표했고, 16일 KT는 조직개편을 발표하며 AI...
