    The Broadcasting & Telecommunications Convergence Research Laboratory has been actively developing, under the vision of leading the New Technology of Broadcasting & Telecommunications Convergence for a Greater Korea, key technologies in the areas of broadcasting, IPTV, radio, and satellite, for realizing a future knowledge-based society enabled by naturally integrating broadcasting and telecommunications services into life. With next generation broadcasting-telecommunications convergence, realistic media and radio-satellite defined as three major areas, we put our efforts into realizing four services (Cognitive WPAN, Stereoscopic 3DTV, Advanced T-DMB and Wired-wireless-convergent mobile IPTV) and into developing five future source technologies (Gbps satellite broad band transmission, mm-wave/T-Hz radio resource and RF energy transfer, Digital Holography, Glasses-free super-multiview 3D broadcasting and Personalized u-IPTV) to contribute greatly to enhancing the convenience and safety of people as well as boosting national industry and economy.

  • Communications & Internet Research Laboratory

    Through the realization of a ‘mobile life’, the Internet Research Laboratory enhances quality of life while aiming to improve upon convenience by providing communication services that are capable of high speed wired/wireless communication anytime, anywhere. In order to realize a knowledge-based future society that expands through IT convergence, the laboratory conducts research into mobile communications technology, optical fiber internet infrastructure technology, and service platform technology, along with the technology for future networking. Representative fields of research relate to the source technology of each area, such as 4th generation mobile communications technology, high speed short range wireless communications technology, internet-based convergence network technology, packet-optic convergence technology, convergence service platform technology, strategic station broadcasting communication, etc., and their commercialization for green growth.

  • Technology Commercialization Division

    The role of the Technology Commercialization Division is to ensure that ETRI’s innovative technologies, the core of its growth momentum, are being implemented appropriately in society. To do this, we formulate strategies, execute marketing activities and enhance the value of technologies through intellectual property management. We also serve to strengthen SME(Small & Medium Enterprise) competitiveness by providing various supporting projects and services. Moreover, we focus on R&D with the regional strategic industries and the commercialization of advanced technologies.
