SKT Showcases 5G and AI-Based Control Solutions at Drone Show Korea

[Asia Economy Reporter Seulgina Jo] SK Telecom announced on the 29th that it will showcase its 5G- and artificial intelligence (AI)-based drone control solutions at '2021 Drone Show Korea,' the largest domestic drone exhibition held at BEXCO in Busan.

SK Telecom set up a 144㎡ (approximately 44 pyeong) exhibition hall at Drone Show Korea and unveiled 'T Live Caster,' a solution that enables real-time transmission and reception of high-definition videos captured by drones and allows remote control of drones. Launched in 2018, T Live Caster was applied last year to 462 patrol cars belonging to 17 police stations nationwide. It is compatible with industrial drones released by domestic manufacturers and DJI, and its advantage lies in the ability to integrate and control various cameras, including drones, smartphones, and CCTVs.

Additionally, SK Telecom introduced the autonomous flight solution '5GX Drone Live,' which combines 5G and AI technologies. Using the mobile communication-based autonomous flight solution 'Drone Live,' users can easily complete drone flights over wide areas by simply setting the flight purpose and region.

SK Telecom also unveiled a system that helps drone users easily manage photos and videos collected by drones. By utilizing SK Telecom's video analysis system, captured videos can be analyzed in real time to distinguish people, cars, and ships. Furthermore, photos taken by drones are organized based on shooting location and date, providing updated geographic information.

SK Telecom's drone control solutions are also planned to be applied to ADT Caps' integrated control platform. ADT Caps plans to expand its business areas into various fields such as public safety, disaster response, and industrial facility security by linking SKT's 5G-based drone control solutions with dispatch infrastructure.

Song Gwanghyun, head of SK Telecom's Digital Communication Office, stated, "We have prepared so that visitors can experience the convenience of drone video control services integrated with advanced technologies such as 5G and AI," and added, "We plan to contribute to the development of the advanced industrial ecosystem by applying ICT innovation technologies to various industries in the future."
