KT, Samsung test AI-powered network technology at baseball games

South Korea's second-largest mobile carrier, KT, and Samsung Electronics are using baseball games as a testing ground for their AI-powered network technology. The companies recently verified their autonomous wireless network operation technology at KT Wiz Park in Suwon, Gyeonggi Province. They utilized a digital twin platform called AI Cell Twin, which creates a virtual replica of a wireless network.

This platform enables engineers to simulate changes in mobile usage patterns and data traffic, allowing them to test various network management strategies before implementing them in real-world scenarios. The joint development of this autonomous network technology involves AI that identifies optimal operating strategies, verifies them in the simulated environment, and then applies them to actual networks.

Unlike traditional automation systems that depend on preset rules or individual performance indicators, this innovative technology analyzes multiple factors such as user distribution and usage patterns to optimize network performance.
