A new technology has been developed that theoretically provides wireless Internet speeds of one gigabit per second by simultaneously using two different networks, long term evolution (LTE) and Wi-Fi.
SK Telecom announced on May 11 that it has completed applying its CA technology multi-path to simultaneously use LTE and Wi-Fi networks.
Once the multi-path technology is commercialized, the company will be able to theoretically provide wireless Internet services with a maximum speed of 1.17 Gbps by maximizing the combination efficiency of the tri-band LTE-Advanced network with data speeds of up to 300Mbps and the gigabit Wi-Fi network with data speeds of up to 866.7 Mbps.
It takes 8.5 seconds to download 1 Gb of data at a wireless speed of 1 Gbps.
You can watch an ultra-high-definition video clip without interruptions as soon as a download begins. When downloading a 1 Gb video clip, it takes 28 seconds on the existing tri-band LTE-Advanced network and 38 seconds on the broadband LTE-A.
Accordingly, SK Telecom plans to commercialize the terminal upgrade service after the ongoing test with manufacturers is completed.
