[Asia Economy Reporter Eunmo Koo] KT will participate in the largest domestic ICT exhibition hosted by the Ministry of Science and ICT.

KT announced on the 21st that it will participate in the ‘World IT Show 2021’ (WIS 2021), held for three days from the 21st to the 23rd at COEX in Seoul. Under the theme ‘Spreading the Digital New Deal with 5G Wings,’ this event will showcase innovative services from domestic and international ICT companies, who are the main players in the COVID-19 ‘New Normal’ era.

During the event, KT will operate its exhibition hall in accordance with the social distancing quarantine guidelines in the metropolitan area. At the ‘Welcome Zone,’ visitor entry will be managed, and a visitor limit and waiting number system will be implemented to maintain a 1.5-meter distance between attendees.

At WIS 2021, KT will operate its exhibition hall under the name ‘Digico (Digital Platform Company) KT, a Leading Company in ABC-based Digital Innovation.’ The newly emerged ‘Ontact’ daily life due to COVID-19 will be defined as ‘Digital Platform Life,’ and various solutions based on KT’s digital platform capabilities will be demonstrated.

Visitors to the KT exhibition hall can explore KT’s ‘ABC’ (AI, Big Data, Cloud) technologies at a glance across seven zones: ▲Welcome (Quarantine) Zone ▲Digico Life Zone ▲Building Platform Zone ▲City Platform Zone ▲Work&Edu Platform Zone ▲Business Platform Zone ▲KT DS Zone.

The ‘Welcome (Quarantine) Zone’ is a space where visitors can experience KT’s lifestyle-oriented quarantine services upon entering the exhibition hall. Visitors can try the ‘Face Gate,’ a fever check device capable of facial recognition even when wearing masks, and the ‘080 Check-in’ and ‘Text Check-in’ services, which are easy for the elderly to use via phone or text and prevent personal information leakage.

The ‘Digico Life Zone’ gathers KT’s next-generation technologies that add convenience to customers’ daily lives. It features ‘Wi-Fi 6E,’ a technology for which KT was the first among the three major telecom companies to complete AP (Access Point) development; the subscription-based cloud gaming service ‘Game Box’; and the next-generation intelligent transportation system ‘C-ITS,’ recently highlighted in KT advertisements.

In the ‘Building Platform Zone,’ smart building management services developed based on 5G and AI technologies are introduced. Visitors can experience the 5G in-building solution that provides smooth 5G service even in shadow areas within buildings, and the ‘AI Building Operator,’ which controls heating and cooling and purifies indoor air quality based on AI prediction technology to improve energy efficiency.

The ‘City Platform Zone’ consists of KT’s innovative services that create comfortable and safe smart cities. It demonstrates the ‘Disaster Safety Communication Network’ built by KT in collaboration with the Ministry of the Interior and Safety for eight major disaster-related agencies nationwide, and a high-resolution fine dust information service tailored for small and medium-sized cities.

At the ‘Work&Edu Platform Zone,’ solutions leading innovation in office spaces and educational sites are exhibited. These include ‘KT Giga Office,’ which applies the same internal security policies as the office even during flexible work, and the ‘KT Intelligent Threat Mail Analysis Solution,’ where AI learns from 200 million data points annually to analyze and block threat information, enhancing security in the work environment. Additionally, software coding education solutions such as ‘KT AI Coding Block’ and ‘AI Coding Pack,’ which allow users to design various AI technologies like voice recognition, speech synthesis, and video recognition in block form, are available for experience.

The ‘Business Platform Zone’ introduces DX solutions that improve work efficiency. Featured are the infotainment solution ‘AI Hotel,’ which allows amenity and concierge requests via Giga Genie voice recognition and touch screen; ‘KT AICC (AI Contact Center),’ where AI voice bots handle call center consultation services and response result analysis; ‘KT Jalnagage,’ which helps small business owners analyze commercial districts using floating population data and industry-specific trend keywords; and ‘Marketing Coach,’ a digital marketing integrated management solution that supports advertising execution and performance analysis based on AI technology.

The ‘KT DS Zone’ demonstrates five B2B-exclusive solutions. Visitors can experience ‘K-Baram,’ which allows product trials via video chat in virtual stores; the RPA solution ‘Antbot’; the AI automation solution ‘AI Centro’; the infrastructure automation platform ‘Flying Cube,’ which reduces server configuration time to 1/75; and the cloud-based digital workplace solution ‘Q-Officeware.’

Yang Yulmo, Head of KT Public Relations, said, “KT is collaborating with partners in various fields with the goal of creating a win-win cooperation ecosystem with small and medium-sized enterprises and discovering new business opportunities based on 5G.” He added, “We hope that this exhibition will serve as an opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises with excellent technology to pioneer overseas markets together with KT.”
