SK Telecom's 5G technology will be distributed to Europe. Germany is the first country to open in Europe.
On the 27th, SK Telecom and Deutsche Telekom, the largest telecommunication company in Europe, announced that they will build '5G Radio Frequency (RADI) repeater', which was developed based on Korean technology, in major German cities during the second quarter of this year and launch customer experience services.

5G RF relay is a key equipment that receives 5G transmission from outdoor base stations and amplifies and spreads 5G coverage to indoor areas that are difficult to reach, such as buildings, tunnels, and underground spaces. The 5G RF relay has been installed in major buildings in South Korea since last year.
SK Telecom`s 5G RF relay has shown high interest in this technology in Germany and Europe, where wired network environment is poor compared to Korea due to the advantages of relaying signals without wired network connection.
SK Telecom and Deutsche Telekom upgraded the relay in January to meet the 5G environment in Germany and Europe.
Starting this month, the two companies will conduct on-site testing of repeaters, and starting from the second quarter of this year, they will provide customer experience services to 200 customers in Germany. To this end, Deutsche Telekom started recruiting participants for individual and corporate customers from April 27.
In the future, the two companies will analyze customer feedback and data obtained from customer experience services and optimize repeaters to 5G Network in Germany before commercializing them in Germany.
"SK Telecom's first 5G solution has created an opportunity to spread around the world," said Ha Hyeong-il, head of SK Telecom's Corporate 2 Center. "We expect that there will be various results of cooperation in the future as other tasks such as Deutsche Telekom, telecommunication platform, artificial intelligence, and cloud are also being carried out smoothly."
"The 5G In Building solution is particularly useful for customers with small businesses," said Hagen Rickmann, managing director for business customers at Deutsche Telekom.
