Hana Financial Group has partnered with SK Telecom and Samsung Electronics to establish the first dedicated 5G network for operational use in the finance sector.
Hana Financial TI announced on September 28 that it has built a group smart office based on a 5G dedicated network at its headquarters in Cheongna, Incheon.
A dedicated 5G network is an independent communication network that utilizes exclusive frequencies for specific companies or facilities. The network covers a total of 16 floors, from the basement to the 15th floor of the Cheongna headquarters, serving approximately 3,000 employees from 10 affiliated companies, including Hana Financial Holdings and Hana Bank.
Hana Financial TI oversees the entire project and has completed the registration as a telecommunications service provider. It directly manages the group’s dedicated communication network, utilizing exclusive frequencies and numbers allocated by the Ministry of Science and ICT for network construction, operation, quality management, fault response, and security.
SK Telecom is responsible for the design and technical support of the 5G dedicated network, as well as the integration of the operational network and the establishment of security and integrated control systems. Samsung Electronics supplied core communication equipment and participated in technical collaboration for network construction.
Employees can choose workspaces based on their tasks instead of having fixed desks. This setup allows project members to collaborate in shared spaces or rearrange office areas according to organizational changes.
Given that the communication network is used for financial operations, security measures have been enhanced. A dedicated operational network has been established, separate from external networks, allowing only authorized users and work devices to connect.
Park Geun-young, CEO of Hana Financial TI, stated, “We have created a future-oriented work environment that allows employees to communicate and collaborate without spatial constraints while complying with financial security regulations. We will proactively respond to the expansion of AI and data-driven operations.”
