With three core LTE-Advanced technologies successfully tested, SK Telecom said it will push forward in leading the next generation of fast mobile network services.

Seoul, KOREA ¶ Jul 06, 2012 (Whowired) -- SK Telecom has succeeded in demonstrating a core technology for the development of its LTE Advanced. The largest mobile operator in Korea said on Jul 5 that it has jointly demonstrated the eICIC(enhanced Inter-Cell Interference Coordination) with Qualcomm and Nokia Siemens Networks.

The eICIC, which is designed to reduce interference between different layers of long and short-range signals for smoother and faster data transmission, is one of core technologies in LTE Advanced. Prior to this, SK Telecom successfully tested other two core LTE Advanced technologies, the CoMP(Coordinated Multipoint) last year and the CA(Carrier Aggregation) this year at the Mobile World Congress.

SK Telecom claims to be the world-first operator which has succeeded in testing all the three core technologies. The CoMP is a technology to prevent severed or slowed data transmission by coordinating frequencies of base stations on boundaries. The CA is a technology to group and use several frequencies simultaneously to clear traffic routes and boost the speed of data transmission by two times accordingly.

With three core LTE-Advanced technologies successfully tested, SK Telecom said it will push forward in leading the next generation of fast mobile network services.
