SK Telecom, a leading South Korean 5G services provider, announced on Sunday that it won two global awards: Global Telecom Awards 2022 and Leading Lights Awards 2022.

SK Telecom received an award in the "Ground Virtualization Imitative" category with the world-first bare-metal-based telco cloud-native core network commercialization technology.

It received good reviews for providing nationwide services based on 5G speed and quality. It was also praised for providing a wide range of services including '"A." (or A-dot) an artificial intelligence-based service, and "e-friends," the metaverse app introduced first among telecom services operators.
