Keysight Technologies, Inc. today announced membership in the Korea
5G Forum, a collaborative development environment for
next–generation 5G wireless communication. The Korea 5G Forum was
founded by the Ministry of Science, ICT (information and communications
technology) and Future Planning (MSIP) to lead the development of 5G
mobile wireless communications and to commercialize 5G technology. The
forum cooperates internationally on standardization, research and
development, and in creating an ecosystem for the next generation of
wireless communications.
Global 5G technology development is a catalyst for meeting the explosive
growth in mobile internet access. The South Korea ministry created the
5G Forum in cooperation with telecommunications companies, semiconductor
companies, academia, and research institutes. Keysight will actively
participate and collaborate with the 5G Forum to establish development
strategies for the future of mobile telecommunications alongside
industry and academic professionals.
“We are proud to be a member of the 5G Forum,” said Duk-Kwon Yoon,
Keysight South Korea president and general manager. “This underscores
Keysight’s commitment to being the premier 5G test solution provider. We
will continue to actively participate with strategic industry leaders to
advance the development of this exciting and vital next-generation
wireless technology.”
“Our work with the 5G Forum in South Korea and key industry leaders in
this important part of the world is a critical part of our global
participation in the advancement of 5G technology,” said Roger Nichols,
Keysight 5G program manager. “This is a significant step and we look
forward to this collaboration and to addressing the test and measurement
challenges during the deployment of the next-generation of wireless
communication devices.”

About the 5G Forum
The Ministry of Science, ICT and Future Planning founded the 5G Forum in
Seoul on May 30. 5G Forum members consist of public and private sectors,
including mobile telecommunication carriers, manufacturers and academic
professionals.
The goal of the 5G Forum is to assist in the development of the standard
and contribute to its globalization. By 2020 the South Korean government
intends to commercially deploy 5G mobile telecommunication technology
for the first time in the world featuring five core 5G services during
the Pyeongchang 2018 Winter Olympics. This would include social
networking services, mobile 3D imaging, artificial intelligence,
high-speed services, ultra- and high-definition resolution capabilities,
and holographic technologies.
Insik Park, business division head of SK Telecom, South Korea’s largest
Telecom Company, was selected as the first chairperson of the forum. The
Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI), three
major telecom companies, and several major electronics companies,
including Samsung Electronics, LG electronics, KMW and Dio Interactive,
were appointed to the Board as co-chairs. For further information about
