South Korea’s three mobile carriers activate network plan for Yeouido fireworks festival, AI to handle overloads
South Korea’s three mobile carriers will activate special network measures ahead of a fireworks festival in Seoul’s Yeouido area on Sept. 5 to cope with large crowds and a surge in traffic. SK Telecom plans AI-based traffic forecasting and added fixed and temporary facilities, including mobile base stations. KT will expand nearby base station capacity, deploy mobile stations and use 5G network slicing to support CCTV feeds, while running a 24-hour response system. LG Uplus will add equipment and use its AI platform to manage overloads.
