"Network operators need to deliver a smart, secure experience to billions of new devices," said David Perlmutter, pictured, Intel executive vice president. "By utilising CCC technology based on Intel architecture, KT will be able to drive a faster rate of innovation and quickly expand network capacity as demand for services rises, all while maximising revenue."
