Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. today announced that it has signed an expansion contract with KT Corporation (KT) to provide public safety (PS-LTE) network solutions based on 3GPP standard Release 13 for 10 major metropolitan regions in South Korea including Seoul by 2020. In addition, the two companies will be delivering the worlds first narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT) service through the PS-LTE network.

This marks the third project in which KT and Samsungs Networks Business unit have partnered on PS-LTE network deployments. The two previous projects were the worlds first PS-LTE network throughout Gangwon (Pyeongchang) province of South Korea using 700MHz based on the 3GPP standard in 2016 and the 2017 delivery of LTE-Railway service on a high-speed train traveling at up to 250 km/hour (155 mph) using MCPTT solutions for the first time. The two companies are now aiming to expand the PS-LTE network further into the metropolitan areas around the country, including Seoul, Gyeonggi, Gangwon, Jeolla, Gyeongbuk and Chungnam provinces.

Samsung is thrilled about this significant achievement in the countrys public safety solutions, where our continuous efforts and innovation on technology have helped to advance safety, said GY Seo, Senior Vice President and Head of Global Sales & Marketing, Networks Business at Samsung Electronics. Samsung is honored to take part in this important mission with KT by providing PS-LTE solutions that will ensure seamless and stable connectivity across the nation.
