KT Launches Dedicated AI Lines of Up to 800 Gbps for Stable AIDC Connectivity
TECHWORLD ·
✦ AI Summary
KT has launched an ultra-high-speed, ultra-low-latency AI dedicated line to meet demand for large-scale data transmission driven by the spread of generative AI.
The service offers bandwidth of up to 400 Gbps and 800 Gbps, expanding beyond the roughly 100 Gbps maximum bandwidth of existing dedicated lines.
Based on 840,000 kilometers of fiber cable and an APN-based optical-centric network, KT plans to support stable connectivity between AIDCs and ultra-low-latency transmission.
KT has launched an ultra-high-speed, ultra-low-latency "AI dedicated line" to meet growing demand for large-scale data transmission driven by the spread of generative AI. KT announced the service launch on the 14th, saying the purpose is to respond to the demand for large-scale data transmission stemming from the spread of generative AI. KT plans to strengthen its AI infrastructure competitiveness through the service.
The new service offers service bandwidth of up to 400 Gbps and 800 Gbps. That is an expansion from existing dedicated lines, which had a maximum bandwidth of around 100 Gbps. It is intended to provide stable data connectivity between AIDCs.
KT said that, based on its nationwide 840,000-kilometer fiber cable coverage and diversified path infrastructure, it can design the optimal shortest and redundant routes between multiple data centers and hubs. It said this would help minimize latency and secure stability.
KT applied an APN (All Photonic Network)-based optical-centric network architecture to the AI dedicated line and strengthened its ultra-low-latency characteristics. APN is a technology that minimizes optical-to-electrical and electrical-to-optical conversions in the data delivery process, thereby reducing latency.
KT said it increased large-scale data transmission speeds by designing data routes and equipment to fit customer environments. Through this structure, it can efficiently connect distributed AI infrastructure and also provide a stable data transmission environment.
KT plans to expand the application of the AI dedicated line to AI data center operators and companies building large-scale AI infrastructure. It also plans to continue strengthening ultra-high-speed, ultra-low-latency network services tailored to B2B customers' network environments.
Jeon Myung-jun, executive vice president and head of the Enterprise Service Division in KT's Enterprise Division, said the importance of ultra-high-speed, ultra-low-latency networks will grow further as AI data centers and GPU infrastructure expand. He added that KT plans to quickly and flexibly support customers' construction and expansion of large-scale AX infrastructure through KT's AI dedicated line.
