Incheon Cheongna Headquarters: 16 Floors, 10 Affiliated Companies, Approximately 3,000 Employees

SK Telecom (SKT), Hana Financial Group, and Samsung Electronics have begun full-scale operations of the finance industry's first smart office based on a 5G private network. The move is attracting attention from related industries as it introduces wireless networks to financial sector workspaces previously bound to wired environments due to strict security regulations, improving mobility and collaboration environments while establishing a foundation for AI and data-driven business transformation.

SKT announced on the 28th that it has constructed and begun full-scale operations of a 5G private network smart office at Hana Financial Group's Cheongna headquarters in Incheon Cheongna International City, together with Hana Financial Group and Samsung Electronics.

This project is a large-scale initiative spanning 10 affiliated companies and approximately 3,000 employees centered on Hana Financial Group's Cheongna headquarters, which is undergoing phased relocation to Cheongna International City starting this month.

The 5G private network has been applied to all 16 floors (B1~15F) of business and common spaces within the headquarters.

The 5G private network is configured as an independent private network separated from external communication networks, utilizing dedicated frequency allocated to Hana Financial Group by the Ministry of Science and ICT.

Hana Financial TI, an IT affiliate of Hana Financial Group, participated in the construction, and a secure USIM-based authentication system was applied to allow access only to registered devices and authorized users.

Samsung Electronics stated that it has exclusively supplied enterprise Core and radio solutions for the 5G private network and has conducted technical collaborations with related solution providers.

Multi-Layered Security System Customized for Finance Industry

SKT and Hana Financial Group have established a multi-layered security system across the entire 5G private network, including △5G wireless section encryption △subscriber information encryption △firewalls △DDoS response systems △access control.

Using network slicing and physical network separation technology, independent operational networks for each affiliated company have been configured, allowing network operation according to each affiliated company's security policies and business characteristics.

Network Design Considering AI Integration and Scalability

Employees can use the same work environment from office desks, conference rooms, and collaborative spaces using business devices such as notebooks and tablets that support the 5G private network.

SKT stated that it has designed network scalability to enable future integration with smart buildings, intelligent access control, AI CCTV, mobile employee IDs, and business AI services.

The system also includes a centralized management system that provides integrated monitoring of usage status and failures.

Kim Gu-young, Head of SKT's Enterprise Business Division, stated, "We will continue to expand our enterprise AX (AI Transformation) business that innovates work environments and business processes across various industries, including finance."
