SK Telecom won the Most Innovative Telecom Project (MITP) award on May 20 from the Telecom Asia Award (TAA) held in Jakarta, Indonesia, the company said.
SK Telecom could win the Most Innovative Telecom Project award because TAA recognized the company’s continuous efforts for LTE technology development, particularly the commercialization of the “3 band LTE-A,” which provides a speed of 300Mbps maximum, SK Telecom said.
TTA is held by Telecom Asia, a Hong Kong-based media company specializing in information technology, SK Telecom said. TTA has been awarding Asian companies for providing communication services or technologies, SK Telecom said.
Park Jin-hyo, head of the network technology institution of SK Telecom, said that the company will continually innovate its network technology, with ambitions of being the world’s representative mobile communication company.
