KT and Nokia said the lab will be a testing ground for IoT innovators<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Korean telco KT, alongside Nokia Networks, has announced the launch of the country\u2019s first dedicated lab for progressing the development of the internet of things, making good on its MoU pledge at MWC earlier this year, reports Telecoms.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Nokia Networks has slated the lab to be the bedrock of its targeted \u201cProgrammable World\u201d project by utilising the convergence of IT and telecoms. It claims small and medium-sized IoT firms looking for advice, expertise and an environment in which to test new products and ideas will be able to make the best use of the lab.<\/p>\n

The launch of the lab shows the progress being made in the IoT space, after KT and Nokia signed a memorandum of understanding<\/a> to develop an IoT lab facility at Mobile World Congress<\/a> in March. Andrew Cope, Nokia\u2019s head of Korea, said LTE-M (the LTE network enabling M2M communications) is a key basis of the lab\u2019s capabilities, and displayed his pleasure in having the lab ready so soon after the MoU announcement at MWC.<\/p>\n

\u201cExecuting upon an agreement signed at MWC15, Nokia Networks and KT have taken another step forward on an exciting journey that will culminate in the creation of the \u2018Programmable World\u2019 in Korea and beyond,\u201d he said. \u201cAfter showcasing the world\u2019s first LTE-M for interconnection of sensors, we have now created Korea\u2019s first IoT lab \u2013 a solid-point of our commitment to standardise LTE-M and create a strong and sustainable ecosystem.\u201d<\/p>\n

Yun Kyoung-Lim, KT\u2019s head of future convergence said the lab\u2019s approach to collaboration in IoT is essential to its development and to seeing its potential realised.<\/p>\n

\u201cTogether with Nokia Networks, we are leveraging upon the convergence of IT and Telecommunications to hasten our transformation into an ICT powerhouse,\u201d he said. \u201cFurthermore, this lab is a strong iteration of our vision to become the number one player in Korea\u2019s IOT market. Our efforts are aimed at encouraging greater participation by domestic companies, which are a crucial factor in driving the change towards a creative IoT-based economy.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
