We are thrilled to announce that SK Telecom has released the latest white paper, ‘SK Telecom 6G White Paper: View on Future AI Telco Infrastructure.’ This comprehensive document outlines the future of telco network infrastructure, focusing on the convergence of artificial intelligence (AI) and telecommunications. We define the key elements for 6G infrastructure evolution as ‘Cloud-Native, Green-Native, and AI-Native,’ and present the direction of the 6G infrastructure evolution based on the ubiquitous intelligence emphasized in the International Telecommunication Union's (ITU) 6G Framework Recommendations (IMT-2030). Our white paper also introduces the concept of ‘Telco Edge AI’ infrastructure, which merges telecom network infrastructure and AI to provide real-time data processing and AI services simultaneously. We believe that the next-generation telecommunications business should not only generate revenue based on traffic demand but also enhance the value of the infrastructure itself. This can be achieved by integrating AI solutions into telecom infrastructure, enabling real-time AI inference.
