SKT, Using AI to Manage Real-Time Network Quality for 1.2 Million Visitors at Busan Fireworks Festival
Published
SK Telecom said it will use artificial intelligence (AI) to manage network quality in real time during the Busan Fireworks Festival. About 1.2 million people are expected to attend this year's festival, making network stability an important challenge.
When large numbers of people gather in a small area at the same time, mobile phone signals can weaken, and calls and data connections may be dropped. AI technology continuously monitors network conditions and quickly identifies areas where users are concentrated. This allows the company to adjust communication equipment and respond before problems occur.
A stable network helps festival visitors contact family and friends, share photos and videos, and check event-related information. At large-scale events in particular, network conditions are also linked to safety guidance, so the importance of network management can be said to be even greater.
This effort is drawing attention as an example of how AI-based network management can be used at large-scale events. Visitors should note that connection speeds may slow down in crowded areas on the day of the festival, so it is advisable to agree on alternative ways to get in touch in advance.
