NTELS and Plantynet Signed MOU to Develop Harmful Content Filtering and Security Enhancing Technologies
- Joint development of MEC-based harmful content filtering and security technology as more companies are using private 5G network
- Collaborate to develop innovative security models to compete with global companies
NTELS, a telecommunication solution provider signed MOU with Plantynet, a network solution specialist. The two companies announced on December 20 that they had signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) for strategic business cooperation for joint development of a 5G MEC-based harmful content filtering and security enhancement business models.
Through this MOU, the two companies will develop a preemptive response solution specialized for security threats that may occur in the 5G MEC (Multi-Access Edge Computing) environment. They provide improved security services for companies in network environments with increased uncertainty, such as 5G, cloud, and metaverse. MEC is an ultra-low latency technology that increases data transmission speed by processing data close to the user, and is considered a key technology in the 5G era. As domestic and foreign companies are rapidly introducing private 5G networks and the MEC ecosystem is expanding, the security threats have also increased. Therefore, it is necessary to preemptively analyze and detect various harmful traffic and improve security.
NTELS provides the MEC platform and network technology, the core parts of this cooperation, and supports the development of more efficient and flexible preemptive solutions for enterprise with security services specialized for the MEC environment. As a network software company, NTELS is recognized for its technology by supplying 5G communication solutions and services such as IoT and smart factory to large domestic companies like SK Telecom and Samsung Electronics and overseas telecommunication companies like AT&T and Celcom. In addition, it developed the ‘MEC Platform Development and Demonstration for Universal Education Service’ project, which is a MEC-based technology commercialization project of the National Information Society Agency (NIA).
Plantynet focuses on developing technology for detecting and filtering potentially harmful and malicious traffic of MEC. Plantynet is an Internet network security company that can filter illegal and harmful content on the Internet regardless of the format, such as site, image, or video through its AI deep learning technology. By supplying its products to local companies in Taiwan and Vietnam as well as leading domestic telecommunication companies, Plantynet has proved its competitiveness in the network filtering market. Recently, it entered the equipment business with its LANEBOW product, a network packet broker. Plantynet announced that it will contribute to the development of an innovative security model by utilizing the relevant infrastructure in this cooperation.
NTELS CEO said, “In line with the digital transformation, MEC for ultra-low latency services such as Smart-X (smart factory, smart healthcare, etc.), VR-MR, and metaverse is expected to grow rapidly. Through this cooperation with Plantynet, the two companies will be able to provide customers with enhanced network security and a stable business environment especially in the MEC environment”.
Plantynet CEO said, “Many companies around the world that have entered the 5G era are very interested in MEC technology to reduce data transmission latency to near ‘zero’ level, and the related network security market will also grow. Plantynet will continue to work closely together with NTELS to provide safe and innovative security services to customers by preparing security and filtering technologies for the MEC environment”.
