, ‘Among the 80 locations evaluated for mobile communication service quality last year, four places still remain unchanged in terms of slow transmission speed or weak signal strength.’,
,
, ‘The Ministry of Science and ICT and the National Information Society Agency announced on the 30th that in a re-evaluation of 80 locations with ‘unsatisfactory’ communication quality ratings from last year’s assessment, all LTE services have improved, but 5G remains unchanged in four locations.’,
,
, ‘Out of the 80 locations, 46 had a data transmission success rate of less than 90% for 5G or LTE services (areas with poor quality), while 34 had weak 5G signal strength, with unstable 5G usage accounting for less than 90% of the facilities (inadequate 5G connectivity sites).’,
,
, ‘SK Telecom and KT have improved all areas where 5G services were inadequate last year. However, LG Uplus did not improve the service on the Gwangmyeong-Osong section of the KTX line.’,
,
, ‘In the case of inadequate 5G connectivity sites, LG Uplus has improved all, but SK Telecom still needs improvement on the KTX Chuncheon Line, while KT requires improvement at two locations including the Central Inland Line and Busan Catholic University.’,
,
, ‘Ido Gyu, a policy officer at the Ministry of Science and ICT, said, “While LTE services have all improved, there are still areas where 5G services remain unsatisfactory, requiring continuous quality investment efforts by telecom operators,” adding, “The four locations identified as inadequate will be re-evaluated in the second half of the year to confirm improvements in quality.”‘,
