KT discussed ways to promote cooperation on the 5G and SDN / NFV (network infrastructure software and network virtualization) technologies at the KT R&D Center with the participation of key executives of both companies such as Lee Dong-myeon, director of the KT Technology Convergence Center and John Donovan, CSO of AT & T.

AT&T is expected to cooperate with KT in many sectors as AT&T has been taking the lead in the development of SDN/NFV, one of core 5G technologies for two years and KT is leading the 5G technology development, including the announcement of Network 3.0 Indigo, a 5G platform.

"We expect that cooperation through AT&T's SDN/NFV leadership and KT's 5G leadership will create synergies to solve challenges of the telecom industry in the future," said director Lee.
