Two South Korean giants join forces on 6G AI-RAN technology.

According to Samsung and KT, optimizing AI-RAN will be essential as the industry prepares to enter the 6G era, a time when data volumes are expected to skyrocket.

Samsung Electronics Co. and KT Corp. have demonstrated that 6G AI-RAN (6G Artificial Intelligence-based Radio Access Network) technology can operate reliably on KT's commercial network, thereby confirming its applicability in real-world conditions.

According to announcements from the two companies, Samsung Research and KT's Future Network Lab jointly conducted field trials with approximately 18,000 users in selected areas in Seongnam, Gyeonggi Province, including locations with diverse environmental conditions.

This result marks the first successful demonstration of the technology on an active commercial network, after both parties completed simulation-based verification in June 2025.

This technology uses AI to help users avoid connection problems by automatically applying the optimal configuration for each individual user.

Companies emphasize that optimizing AI-RAN will be essential as the industry prepares to enter the 6G era, a time when data volumes are expected to skyrocket.

Jeong Jin-guk, Executive Vice President of Samsung Research at Samsung Electronics, commented: "This is a major milestone demonstrating how AI can improve the user experience on real- world commercial networks."

He added: "Through close collaboration with KT, we will continue to shape and validate the next generation of AI-based communication technologies."
