KT Launches 'Olleh TV Tab' for Seamless IPTV and Tablet PC Use

[Asia Economy Reporter Minyoung Cha] KT launched the ‘Olleh tv Tab,’ which combines IPTV and LTE tablet PC functions, on the 10th.

The Olleh tv Tab is Korea’s first wired and wireless convergence product that integrates KT’s IPTV platform into Samsung Electronics’ Galaxy Tab A7. With the Olleh tv Tab, users can watch high-definition live TV channels anywhere in the home through KT’s premium Wi-Fi. While on the move, users can enjoy various content such as Season, Kidsland, and Homeschool via the LTE network.

KT developed the Olleh tv Tab reflecting customer needs for having a personal TV within the home when family members want to watch different content, and for a learning device that helps young children freely watch kids’ content both inside and outside the home.

The Olleh tv Tab features a large 10.4-inch screen and Dolby quad speakers supporting immersive sound technology, enhancing the vividness of content viewing. Additionally, with a large 7040mAh battery, it can be used for up to 5 hours and 30 minutes on a single charge, making it an ideal camping TV for families during outdoor activities.

The Olleh tv Tab device is priced at 352,000 KRW including VAT. Existing Olleh tv customers can receive a multiple line discount and use IPTV on this device for 8,800 KRW per month (when combined with a 3-year tv Essence plan). Customers using KT’s ‘5G Super Plan Special’ or ‘LTE Premium ON’ or higher plans receive the ‘Data Together Large’ plan worth 11,000 KRW per month free of charge. For those who want to use IPTV and LTE services separately, they can subscribe to either the ‘Olleh tv’ or KT’s smart device-specific plans.

The Olleh tv Tab is an integrated tablet and set-top box, allowing users to start using it immediately through a ‘self-activation’ service without waiting for a technician visit after subscription. After activation, users can watch TV simply by touching the app without logging in separately each time.

Meanwhile, to commemorate the launch of the Olleh tv Tab, KT is offering a premium stand worth approximately 30,000 KRW to the first 50,000 customers who purchase the device. Made of luxurious aluminum material with adjustable angles, it helps users comfortably watch content anywhere in the home. The Olleh tv Tab is available at KT stores nationwide and KT’s official online channel, KT Shop.

Kim Byungkyun, Executive Director of KT’s Device Business Division, said, “In the post-COVID era where digital device usage is increasing, we have introduced the Olleh tv Tab for the whole family to use together. We hope customers enjoy the special experience of using various KT services such as second TV, tablet PC, and kids-only apps all on one device.”
