South Korea's KT Corp. announced on Wednesday that it signed a business agreement with global mobile communications equipment manufacturer Nokia Corp. for cooperation in 6G research.

The two companies agreed to collaborate on developing advanced Open RAN technology for 6G mobile communications, expected to be fully operational by 2030, and ultra-wideband wireless access technology using candidate frequencies for 6G.

They also agreed to closely prepare for the 6G era, focusing on discovering future services and innovating infrastructure that can be provided through 6G.

KT explained that this collaboration will secure global leadership in setting standards and commercializing 6G mobile communications.

Also referred to as "IMT-2030," 6G is currently undergoing frequency, vision, and structural work within the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) and the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP), the global technical standardization body for mobile communications.

In particular, at a recent plenary session, 3GPP decided to complete the standard specifications for commercial 6G networks and terminals by 2029.
