SK Telecom has finalized the lab-testing phase of liquid applications over LTE, achieving a major milestone for enhancing the mobile broadband experience. The successful testing was conducted with Nokia Solutions and Networks (NSN).
On February 27, 2013, both the company had signed an agreement to cooperate in the testing of Liquid Applications in Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2013.
The aim was to evaluate how effectively liquid applications would deliver a unique and personalized mobile broadband experience over LTE with applications, services and content located inside a mobile base station, in close proximity to the mobile subscriber.
"With Liquid Applications, we expect to create an enriched service aware RAN environment that brings greater benefits to our customers through intelligent and personalized services," said Choi Jin-sung, executive vice president and head of ICT R&D Center of SK Telecom.
"We are looking forward to working with SK Telecom to deploy Liquid Applications into their commercial LTE network," said Dirk Lindemeier, head of Liquid Net at NSN.
After the installation of liquid applications into the SK Telecom laboratories at the end of June, testing was conducted during a three-month period, with a view to showing how liquid applications provided greater context for personalizing services and enabling the simple subscriber tariffs that SK Telecom offers for data-centric applications and services.
