[Asia Economy Reporter Eunmo Koo] KT SAT announced on the 14th that it will participate in 'Satellite Asia 2021,' the largest satellite communication exhibition in the Asia-Pacific region.

At this exhibition, KT SAT will showcase its hybrid router transmission technology. KT SAT's hybrid router is a technology that enables more reliable data communication than existing 5G services by using communication protocols that combine heterogeneous communications into one. Even if 5G communication is interrupted, it provides seamless communication through satellite networks, making it applicable not only for improving mobile communication quality but also in various fields where stable communication is crucial, such as military/government, disaster response, and mobility sectors.

Last year, KT SAT demonstrated the 'Satellite-5G Hybrid Transmission Technology' by linking the Mugunghwa satellite with KT's 5G network. At that time, KT SAT attracted market attention by unveiling the world's first interworking technology between satellite and 5G communication, jointly developed with KT Convergence Technology Institute. This year, the technology has been further developed compared to last year, expanding the scope of technical verification to overseas communication environments. The excellent quality of the hybrid router will be introduced as a global service.

For this exhibition, KT SAT conducted interworking tests earlier this month in Greece between the geostationary satellite (HellasSat-3) and Greece's commercial 5G network using the hybrid router in collaboration with the local satellite operator Hellas Sat. This is the first case of testing the hybrid router on-site overseas, and the test results will be unveiled for the first time at Satellite Asia.

The hybrid router used in this demonstration incorporates KT's software infrastructure technology. This allows the hybrid transmission technology to be easily used not only domestically but also globally in the form of Network-as-a-Service. This technology is also applicable to various cloud environments such as public cloud and Mobile Edge Computing (MEC).

Song Kyung-min, CEO of KT SAT, said about the exhibition, "This is an opportunity to showcase KT SAT's satellite communication technology linked with Korea's advanced 5G technology overseas," and expressed his ambition, "We will continue to strive to enable satellite communication to drive the evolution of various communication environments through the introduction of innovative new technologies in the 5G era."
