KISTI and Trento Systems Accelerate Domestic Next-Generation Private Network Development through Technology Transfer
November 27, 2025, Seoul – Korea Institute of Science and Technology Information (KISTI) has taken a significant step toward the localization and advancement of next-generation private networks by transferring core communication technologies to the private sector. On November 26, KISTI signed a technology transfer agreement with Trento Systems, a domestic telecommunication solutions company, marking a key milestone in Korea’s effort to enhance its self-reliant communication infrastructure.
Cutting-Edge AI-Based Network Slicing Technology Transferred
The technology transferred, known as "AI-based Network Slicing Resource Allocation," enables real-time dynamic analysis of traffic across integrated wired and wireless networks. Utilizing artificial intelligence, this technology allows for automated and intelligent allocation of network resources through advanced network slicing—a vital capability for managing the increasing complexity and demands of modern communication systems. This technology holds promise for broad applications in software development and product innovation related to software-defined networking (SDN).
Strategic Importance for Next-Generation Network Development
Jo Booseung, Director of KISTI’s Science and Technology Network Center, emphasized the strategic value of this transfer: “This is not merely a transfer of technology but a foundational move to support future collaborative R&D projects involving over ten academic, industry, and research partners focused on next-generation wired and wireless network technologies. Based on domestic and international science and industrial needs, we anticipate this technology will enable commercialization and localization of critical communication products."
Corporate Partnership with Trento Systems
Kim Young-jae, CEO of Trento Systems, expressed optimism about the collaboration. “By integrating KISTI’s AI-driven advanced communication technologies with our SDN-based wired and wireless communication systems, we can accelerate the development of next-generation private network solutions. This partnership will greatly support the success of joint research projects we will undertake with KISTI.”
Toward a Self-Reliant Private Network Industry in Korea
This technology transfer is part of Korea’s broader strategy to reduce dependence on foreign network technologies, foster domestic innovation, and secure core capabilities essential for the digital infrastructure of the future. With the growing need for flexible, intelligent network management solutions in various sectors, including industry, government, and research, the collaboration between KISTI and Trento Systems exemplifies proactive national efforts to lead in communication technology.
