KT joins NATO's defense communications standards dialogue

KT has announced its participation in the NATO Wireless Communications Standardization Project's (NWCSP) ninth meeting, marking it as the first Korean telecommunications company to serve as a 5G and 6G standardization expert. The meeting, organized by Korea's Ministry of National Defense and the Telecommunications Technology Association, commenced on Monday and will span four days, attracting around 100 representatives from defense, government, and telecom sectors, including experts from Korea and other nations.

The discussions will revolve around the utilization of 5G and 6G technologies in defense contexts and the establishment of standards for forthcoming military communication systems. NWCSP is a collaborative endeavor between civil and military entities, involving representatives from NATO member and partner countries to deliberate on the military deployment and standardization of advanced mobile communication technologies.

The project orchestrates three in-person gatherings annually, with the preceding session held in San Diego in May. Throughout the proceedings, KT plans to exchange insights on its deployment of commercial 5G technology for defense purposes.
