✦ AI Summary
KT has launched an AI dedicated line in response to demand for large-scale AI data transmission driven by the spread of AIDC.
The maximum bandwidth of existing leased lines was around 100 Gbps, but KT has expanded that to 400 Gbps and 800 Gbps, with supported bandwidth reaching up to 800 Gbps.
The AI dedicated line can design the optimal route between multiple data centers and sites, and KT plans to expand its application to AI data center operators and companies building large-scale AI infrastructure.
KT has launched an "AI dedicated line" to meet rising demand for large-scale AI data transmission driven by the spread of AIDC. According to KT's announcement on the 14th, the new service is notable for significantly increasing the bandwidth of its leased line product compared with the previous offering.
The maximum bandwidth of existing leased lines was around 100 Gbps, but KT has expanded that to 400 Gbps and 800 Gbps. The supported bandwidth goes up to 800 Gbps.
Unlike the public internet, leased lines are not shared by multiple users. They provide customer-tailored dedicated bandwidth to connect major sites such as headquarters, branch offices, data centers, and factories, delivering stable communications quality.
KT has operated dedicated line services for purposes such as broadcasting, CCTV, and quantum cryptographic communications, and it has newly introduced the AI dedicated line to prepare for the surge in AI data. The photo shows KT staff inspecting equipment for the AI dedicated line.
The AI dedicated line can design the optimal shortest and redundant routes between multiple data centers and sites. The leased line applies a photonics-centered network architecture based on APN(All Photonic Network), which is intended to enhance ultra-low latency. APN is a technology that minimizes optical-to-electrical and electrical-to-optical conversion during data delivery, helping reduce latency.
KT plans to expand the application of the AI dedicated line to AI data center operators. It also plans to broaden the scope of AI dedicated line deployment to companies building large-scale AI infrastructure. In addition, KT plans to continue strengthening ultra-high-speed, ultra-low-latency network services tailored to the network environments of B2B customers.
Jeon Myeong-jun, head of the Enterprise Service Division in KT's Enterprise Business Division, said the importance of ultra-high-speed, ultra-low-latency networks will grow as AI data centers and GPU infrastructure expand. He added that KT aims to help customers quickly and flexibly build and scale large-scale AX infrastructure through its AI dedicated line.
