Today on February 25,2022, both companies SK Telecom (SKT) and Samsung announced that they had successfully completed the industry’s first 5G-4G SA Option 4 (NE-DC, New Radio-e-Utron Dual Connectivity) trial on SKT’s 5G Standalone (5G SA) commercial network to enhance their existing network resources.
Samsung and SK Telecom (SKT) have certified 5G Option 4 technology at the SKT R&D Center to achieve data speeds similar to the NSA using 175 MHz bandwidth and have also completed verification of SA’s special functions. For this field test, SKT used Samsung’s 5G SA Core, 5G Radio and 4G Radios, which are already implemented in SKT’s 5G Commercial Network.

To be noted, This latest milestone is the result of Samsung and SKT’s continued commitment to developing cutting-edge network technologies that power innovative 5G usage cases. In March 2021, SKT began offering 5G SA commercial services to private networks that use Samsung’s advanced 5G end-to-end solutions.
However, in a collaborative effort, the companies will continue to provide advanced network services to mobile users in Korea.

The company currently offers network solutions to mobile operators that provide connectivity to millions of users worldwide.
