Ministry of Science and ICT Distributes Guidelines for 5G Specialized Network Construction and Operation

[Asia Economy Reporter Eunmo Koo] The Ministry of Science and ICT (MSIT) announced on the 29th that it will distribute the ‘5G Private Network Guidelines’ together with the Korea Communications Agency (KCA), providing information necessary for the construction and operation to companies demanding 5G private networks.

The guidelines were prepared through a consultation process involving experts from MSIT, KCA, academia, equipment manufacturers, research institutes, and ICT engineering and specialized consulting organizations, and are designed to help demand companies independently review the necessity of private networks and plan accordingly.

To this end, the guidelines include ▲self-diagnosis Q&A ▲considerations for construction ▲case studies of construction. They also contain information on administrative procedures such as ▲frequency supply procedures ▲operator notification and registration procedures, which may be unfamiliar to companies demanding private networks.

Furthermore, to help demand companies quickly and easily overcome difficulties in building private networks, the guidelines introduce institutions and companies that can provide step-by-step assistance, as well as solutions by private network equipment manufacturers.

Jung Chang-rim, Director of Telecommunications Policy at MSIT, stated, “We expect the distribution of the 5G Private Network Guidelines to reduce trial and error for demand companies and contribute to market activation. We plan to continuously update the guidelines by reflecting industry opinions and the latest overseas trends.”
