✦ AI Summary
SK Telecom said it won an award at the 'Network X' Awards in Vienna, Austria.
The awarded technology is 'AI-RAN-based unmanned autonomous vehicle marshalling (AVM, Autonomous Vehicle Marshalling).'
The technology was recognized in the 'Most Innovative 5G Service' category.
SK Telecom said on the 15th that it had won an award at the 'Network X' Awards, held on the 14th local time in Vienna, Austria. SK Telecom said it received the award in recognition of its competitiveness in telecom network AX technology, adding that the company won in the 'Most Innovative 5G Service' category for the technology.
'Network X' is an international event in the wired and wireless communications network sector hosted by global ICT media and research company Informa. This year's event ran from the 13th to the 15th, and more than 100 expert speakers and over 1,000 global telecom companies, large corporations, and startups took part.
The technology that won SK Telecom the award is 'AI-RAN-based unmanned autonomous vehicle marshalling (AVM, Autonomous Vehicle Marshalling).' The technology was recognized in the 'Most Innovative 5G Service' category, leading to the award.
The category honors telecom services that have proposed new service value and business models based on 5G networks.
AI-RAN is a next-generation network infrastructure that can provide telecom services and AI services at the same time. SKT said it developed and demonstrated an AI-RAN base station and confirmed that communications quality remained stable even while AI services were being processed simultaneously.
AVM is a service that carries out vehicle transport and marshalling tasks on the basis of an intelligent network. LiDAR sensors installed on site transmit point cloud data, and point cloud data is a collection of the three-dimensional coordinates of multiple points measured by LiDAR sensors, used to express the shape and position of objects in 3D. Based on this, the AI-RAN base station builds a real-time digital twin, calculates a collision-free route, and then sends driving commands to the finished vehicles.
Even ordinary vehicles without autonomous driving functions can be used for unmanned transport once modules and programs are installed. AVM automates finished-vehicle transport work, which traditionally depended on direct human driving, into an unmanned system.
SKT said the demonstration results showed the company could expand the scope of automation from existing advanced autonomous vehicles to ordinary vehicles and robots.
Ryu Tak-ki, head of network technology at SKT, said the award was a global reaffirmation of the company's technological competitiveness in applying AI to 5G services. He added that the company aims to advance physical AI services based on AI-RAN and accelerate the evolution toward autonomous networks to deliver new value to customers and industrial sites.
