SK Telecom will be showcasing its end-to-end artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities at this year’s Mobile World Congress (MWC), set to be held from March 2 through 5 in Barcelona, Spain.
Under the theme “AI for Infinite Possibilities,” the company plans to spotlight its expertise in AI data center operations and innovations in network and marketing AI, promoting its track record of securing Korea’s largest AI data center project in Ulsan and deploying a high-performance graphics processing unit (GPU) cluster.
The booth will feature AI Data Center Infrastructure Manager, a platform that integrates diverse data generated across data centers into a unified system to enable real-time monitoring. It will also display GPU-as-a-service (GPUaaS) solutions including high-performance cloud platform Petasus AI Cloud, GPU resource optimization solution AI Cloud Manager and real-time monitoring system GAIA.
The company will introduce its next-generation AI Inference Factory, a solution that integrates hardware, computing infrastructure and software into a single stack optimized for inference-centric AI workloads.
“MWC 2026 will be an opportunity to demonstrate how SK Telecom is translating its AI infrastructure, models and services into real-world applications based on the foundation of telecommunications,” SK Telecom CEO Jung Jai-hun said. “Through our full-stack AI capabilities, we aim to elevate SK Telecom’s role in the global AI ecosystem.”
In the network sector, SK Telecom will lay out its vision for AI-native telecom infrastructure, spanning from AI agents embedded across network operations to AI radio access network (RAN) base stations that deliver connectivity and AI services in tandem.
It will also highlight on-device AI-driven antenna tuning as well as integrated sensing and communication technology that uses radio signals to read the surrounding environment, offering an early look at autonomous networks and 6G.
The booth will also feature its proprietary 519-billion-parameter large language model, A.X K1, which recently advanced to the second round of the government-led AI foundation model project, along with a range of its open-source models.
SK Telecom plans to showcase applications for physical AI, such as a digital twin platform that mirrors real-world environments to support AI-based planning and decision-making, and a robot training platform that connects virtual and physical environments to help systems learn sensorimotor skills.
