New 5G UAM Antennas in Development by KT
7. December 2023KT Corp., a prominent South Korean company, has recently revealed significant advancements in urban air mobility (UAM) technology. As part of the Korean UAM Grand Challenge’s first phase, the company conducted field verification in Goheung County, South Jeolla Province, focusing on developing a robust 5G network specifically for UAM applications in urban areas. In a related development, KT Corp. announced the successful creation and testing of specialized antennas, vital for establishing an efficient 5G aerial network for UAM. Antennas and related radio technology usually need to KC EMC registration in order to be approved for the Korean market.
The company’s efforts included implementing artificial intelligence (AI) and standalone 5G technology in UAM control systems and aerial communications networks. This integration is a strategic move towards the full-scale commercialization of UAM technologies. Additionally, KT Corp. has made significant advancements in addressing the challenges of cell handovers and signal interference, by developing patented technology specifically designed to tackle these issues.
The company’s tests confirmed that the beam patterns and performance of the new antennas operate at altitudes ranging up to 600 meters and cover a width of 100 meters. This advancement is poised to reduce the costs associated with network deployment compared to traditional ground antennas.
To validate these antennas’ functionality and the overall communication quality of the aerial network, KT Corp. utilized a mobile integrated control environment. This system enabled real-time assessment and verification, marking a significant milestone in the company’s pursuit of pioneering UAM technologies. This initiative is a part of a broader project to validate and enhance urban air mobility solutions.
