SK Telecom announced on the 1st that it has developed a technology to reduce internal communication latency in the core network, necessary for the evolution of a bare-metal based cloud-native core network architecture for 6G mobile communications, in collaboration with Intel.

This method streamlines the system by avoiding redundant installation of operating systems between bare-metal based cloud-native hardware resources and virtual resources existing in the cloud.
The 'Inline Service Mesh' technology developed through joint research by the two companies performs communication between functional modules without proxies, improving the internal communication speed of the core network.
Applying this technology to the 6G core architecture can reduce communication latency in the core network by up to 70% and increase service efficiency by 33%. SK Telecom explained that it can efficiently handle large-scale computations, enabling the provision of advanced services such as various artificial intelligence (AI) services in a wide range of forms.
SK Telecom published the joint research results with Intel as a technical white paper. After review, it plans to promote the inclusion of 6G service and architecture standardization in the international mobile telecommunications standardization organization (3GPP).
