KT ready for 5G showcase in Indonesia

South Korean mobile carrier KT said Friday the company has completed preparations for its showcase of fifth-generation mobile services at a stadium in Jakarta, Indonesia, during the Asian Games.

In partnership with the country’s leading telecom company Telkomsel, KT will run a 5G zone where visitors can experience the Korean mobile carrier’s pilot services via 5G-enabled tablets and virtual reality games that were introduced at the PyeongChang Winter Olympics in February.

“KT will try to offer differentiated value to the largest sports event in Asia with our 5G services,” said Lee Phil-jae, marketing vice president at KT.
