KT's marketing also led some Games spectators this month to believe their phones could use super-fast 5G - though that was never a possibility given 5G-compatible handsets have yet to be sold. In KT's 5G demonstrations, company representatives show videos demonstrating the speed and capability of 5G, using real-time, 360-degree video of athletes competing. The 5G speeds reached in the trials were four times faster than 4G, according to chip maker Intel Corp, which partnered with KT. While the 5G Zone at the Gangneung ice hockey area was promoted on Pyeongchang's Olympics website, it was not available to attendees during hockey games. and was based in an area reserved for Olympic families, making it hard to find.
