The Broadcasting & Telecommunications Convergence Research Laboratory has been actively researching on broadcasting and telecommunications convergence technology which is comprised of wireless/wired communication, broadcasting, radio, and satellite to realize the future knowledge-based society which is enabled by naturally merging the media and communication into the human life.
We are focusing on the research of the core technology and its commercialization in the following areas: advanced wireless/wired IP networking, mobile communications, short range communications, digital broadcasting, radio, and global area wireless technology. In recognition of the driving role of R&D in economic and industrial development, we have provided the brilliant achievements such as CDMA, WiBro, DMB, and QoS Router.
With the motto of "The irresistible wave of the future and the world best competitiveness", we will try hard to step up the Korean IT technology and lead the IT convergence with various legacy industry, which shall provide a huge contribution in the national economic development.
To become an international hub for broadcasting & telecommunications convergence research, the laboratory should strengthen the entire human resource and reinforce core technology for the next generation by focusing on developing expertise in the core fields of Mobile Telecommunications Research Division to carry out 4G mobile communications technology, WiBro-Advanced technology, and also provide a lot of flexibility and technical research at a world-class level in all areas of multi-gigabit wireless interface and IEEE 802.11 VHT radio access technology and 3GPP LTE terminal modem chip sets. Broadcasting & Telecommunications Media Research Division carries out the researches on next generation DTV core technology, DMB, and open IPTV technology. Network Research Division offers a range of future internet, packet-optical integrated switch, and IPv6-based router supporting QoS service with terminal mobility. Satellite & Wireless Convergence Research Department is focusing on the development of satellite communication systems, ground station of satellite navigation system, and terminal for rescuers. Radio Technology Research Department concentrates on cognitive radio technology and radio monitoring & protection technology. In addition to highlighting all of convergence-based IT technology, standardization and research on future technology also shows how we meet each unique customer's needs in a wide range of industries. And also we are still taking a quantum leap regarding the application and basic research.
