In South Korea, a mobile hot-spot network featuring a fast 1.25Gbps data transmission has been developed for public transportation systems by ETRI. A pilot project featuring the new technology in Seoul's subway lines will begin later this year. The network is able to provide ultra-fast internet service in high-speed trains by combining two technologies. First, the network transmits data using millimetre waves with a frequency over 20GHz, whi...

At CES 2017, taking place this week in Las Vegas, ETRI is showcasing its latest ICT achievements. Seven technologies in the field of broadcasting and media, hyper-connected and 5G giga telecommunications are to be introduced. 

A high performance processor for autonomous vehicles called Aldebaran has been developed by the researchers from Korea’s Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI). Increased focus by the automotive and IT industries on enhancing autonomous vehicle technology has increased the market for core processors customised for autonomous vehicles.

Exobrain, a language intelligence software for communicating between human and machine developed by the Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI), defeated four human champions in a quiz show on EBS Korea. South Korea’s Educational Broadcasting System is a children’s educational television and radio network. On November 18 Exobrain went “head-to-head” with human competitors on the television quiz sh...

A 5G future is no longer a distant one, but an upcoming reality. High quality videos of more than 10Mbps can be served simultaneously to 100 users even in a train running at up to 500km/h. People can experience data rates that are 100 times faster than currently available technologies.

The research team, led by Dr. Hyun-Tak Kim of Korea's Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute, has developed an innovative power interruption technology based on a Mott metal-insulator transition (Mott MIT) device. The Mott MIT signifies the phenomenon that a Mott insulator is abruptly converted into a metal or vice versa without the structural phase transition.

The researchers, from the Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute and Konkuk University in the Republic of Korea, coated cotton and polyester yarn with an analogue called Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA). The yarns were then wrapped in graphene oxide sheets. Graphene is an incredibly strong one-atom-thick layer of carbon and is known for its excellent conductive properties of heat and electricity.
