KT has unveiled a blueprint for sixth-generation mobile communication (6G), the next generation of mobile networks. On the 2nd (local time), KT held a press conference at “Mobile World Congress 2026 (MWC26)” in Barcelona, Spain, and announced its 6G vision for the AI era. KT’s proposed 6G vision is an “ultra-connected, ultra-reliable, intelligent AI network that drives AX (AI Transformation) innovation.”
Specifically, KT presented six key 6G technologies: △ ultra-connectivity △ ultra-low latency △ quantum-safe △ AI-native △ autonomous network △ meaning-centric transmission. For “ultra-connectivity,” KT plans to build three-dimensional coverage that encompasses land, sea, and air. KT possesses KT SAT satellite infrastructure capabilities, thereby securing a structural foundation that enables the integration of terrestrial networks and satellite infrastructure.
As AI competition intensifies, “ultra-low latency” in networks has become a core factor that determines service quality. The company presented an “end-to-end ultra-low latency infrastructure” that minimizes latency across the entire path from device to data center. It also plans to apply its proprietary “quantum-safe” technology to 6G networks so that user data can remain secure even after quantum computers are commercialized.
