Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI) software-defined vehicle (SDV) technology has been adopted as the first SDV international standard by the ITU-T, the South Korean science ministry and ETRI said. They said an SDV service recommendation and a technical report were formally adopted at an ITU-T Study Group 21 meeting in Geneva last month. The standard defines requirements for applications, service management and cloud-linked connectivity functions.

KT said it is stepping up support for digital transformation in military service administration and defence. It said officials from the Military Manpower Administration recently visited KT’s Innovation Hub in Seoul to discuss applying AI transformation technologies. The two sides reviewed end-to-end AX cases verified in industry and shared plans to upgrade services using AI and to operate stable communications infrastructure. KT said defence work requires high security, complex procedures and large-scale data processing.
