Large Investments for 6G Research and Development in Korea

2. November 2023

Korea’s Ministry of Science and ICT is gearing up to lead the next wave of network technology. They’ve earmarked an impressive 440 billion won (over $324 million) for the evolution of the sixth-generation (6G) network. A significant part of this initiative is the development of a high-speed, high-capacity optical transmission system. This system aims to minimize delays in wired connections, paving the way for immersive experiences like urban aerial transportation and virtual reality. It should be noted that many wireless infrastructure components and parts require KC EMC certification to be approved for import and sale in South Korea.

The ministry’s strategy also includes a focus on the upper-middle band, spanning frequencies from 7 GHz to 24 GHz. This is seen as a crucial step to enhance the capabilities of the current 5G network. Moreover, as the world shifts towards cloud-based solutions and software-driven platforms, the ministry is emphasizing the evolution of software-centric next-gen mobile networks.

In terms of standardization, the ministry is not only looking inwards. They’re committed to aligning domestically developed 6G technologies with global standards, which are anticipated to be introduced as early as next year. By 2026, the ministry aims to unveil preliminary results of its 6G endeavors, positioning Korea at the forefront of defining global standards for future network services.
