KT Wins 5G World Award for 'Infectious Disease Spread Prevention Platform'

[Asia Economy Reporter Koo Chae-eun] KT announced on the 3rd that it achieved the honor of winning awards at the '5G World Awards 2020,' the most prestigious ICT awards ceremony, for its Infectious Disease Prevention Platform (GEPP) and 5G Cloud Autonomous Driving projects.

First, GEPP won in the 'Best Telecommunications Service Innovation' category. GEPP is a solution that uses telecommunications big data to inform citizens who have visited countries with infectious disease outbreaks about infection risks and assists health authorities in risk monitoring.

The '5G Cloud Autonomous Driving' project won in the Best 5G Innovation category. 5G Cloud Autonomous Driving is a technology that uploads vehicle sensor data to the cloud in real time via 5G, and then sends control information judged by the cloud platform back to the vehicle, enabling real-time autonomous driving.

Jeon Hong-beom, Head of KT AI/DX Convergence Business Division (Vice President), said, “Winning the 5G World Award this time is a great achievement that recognizes KT’s ability to combine 5G service capabilities and technology centered on customers on the global stage.” He added, “In the non-face-to-face era triggered by the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19), KT will continue to introduce warm services and technologies that bring changes to customers’ lives such as digital healthcare and lead innovation in other industries.”
