KT said on April 15 it will hold emergency restoration drills to prepare for the spring wildfire caution period. The drills aim to keep networks operating stably even if disasters such as wildfires or fires at telecommunications facilities occur. KT will use its Smart Field Check (SFC) platform to centrally manage restoration status across KT, affiliates and partner firms. It is also upgrading its SuperCell technology and will strengthen disaster response via SFC.

KT presented its blueprint for the next-generation 6G era, aiming to build an integrated infrastructure that links its technology and operational know-how. At an MWC26 briefing in Barcelona, Lee Jong-sik (이종식) outlined a 6G vision for the AI era and core technology directions. KT highlighted 3D coverage across land, sea and air, supercell technology for disaster recovery, quantum-safe security, and autonomous network operations using AI-based models, digital twins and AI agents.
