summary
SK Telecom claims roughly 50% market share in Korea and outlines a practical path to 5G that mixes open source, white‑box hardware and function splitting to cut fronthaul cost and TCO. Built prototypes include modular remote units and an open fronthaul POC shown at Mobile World Congress proving the concept works, using OpenStack, Kubernetes and Ceph components and collaborating with Deutsche Telekom, Telefónica and BT.
