[Asia Economy Reporter Koo Chae-eun] KT has opened the 'Telecommunication Big Data Open Lab' at the KT Research and Development Center in Seocho-gu, Seoul, where both individuals and businesses can use big data.

According to KT on the 12th, KT, as the lead company of the 'Telecommunication Big Data Platform,' is collaborating with 14 organizations including BC Card (card payments) and Nextage (tourism) to provide approximately 113TB (terabytes) of big data. Through this, the big data platform allows individuals and companies to freely trade various lifestyle data such as floating population, consumption, commercial districts, and travel. Customized analysis reports and consulting are also provided according to corporate demand.

The newly opened 'Telecommunication Big Data Open Lab' is a free offline space within the 'Data Safe Zone,' where users can process and analyze data themselves in a secure environment for research and analysis purposes.

In particular, tailored education according to user levels and advisory and business mentoring services by big data experts in various fields will be provided for companies lacking data analysis skills and personnel. Additionally, AI inference and predictive analysis functions are offered through high-performance analysis servers based on Graphics Processing Units (GPU).

Kim Chae-hee, Executive Director of KT AI/Big Data Business Division, said, "Through the newly opened Telecommunication Big Data Open Lab, we will actively support domestic data-driven innovative companies to grow," and added, "KT will strive even harder to vitalize big data, an important resource of the Digital New Deal."
