LG Electronics announced on October 29, 2025, that it has agreed with KT, South Korea's No. 2 mobile carrier, to carry out joint research on advanced secure communication technology. The two companies signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to conduct in-depth studies on quantum direct communication technology amid the growing need to establish networks with hyper security features.
Quantum direct communication enables secure data transmission, as data sent in a quantum state collapses upon any eavesdropping attempts. The technology is anticipated to offer strong data security for AI-powered services applied in homes, smart factories, and self-driving vehicles.
LG Electronics and KT have been forging closer ties in the telecommunications industry, including joint research and development projects for sixth-generation (6G) networks last year. This latest collaboration builds on their ongoing partnership to advance secure communication solutions.
