South Korea's Ministry of Science and ICT has opened a testing facility for products that run on 5G networks to help local companies check whether their connected devices are working.
The country earmarked 19.8 billion won from 2019 to 2023 to develop the testing center in Gumi.
So far, the country has established infrastructure for products that require support from 4G LTE, but the ministry would introduce standalone 5G infrastructure this year.
KT Corp. aims to soon deploy testbeds for standalone 5G, which features improved latency.
South Korea's 5G users reached 15.8 million, accounting for 22 percent of the total 71 million mobile subscriptions, as of the end of May.
