LG Uplus, South Korea’s third-largest mobile operator, has reached a tentative deal with Finnish vendor Nokia to cooperate in research and development (R&D) projects for next-generation wireless standards, Korean press reported.
According to LG Uplus, the two parties signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) earlier this week for R&D cooperation in areas of 5G Advanced, an enhanced specification of the current 5G wireless technology, and the 6G standard currently in early development.
Specifically, LG Uplus and Nokia aim to cooperate for research on the expansion of network structures, bandwidths and service zones.
