Samsung Electronics Brings Private 5G to Hana Financial Group’s Smart Office

Samsung Electronics has deployed its private 5G network solution at Hana Financial Group's new headquarters in Cheongna, Incheon, marking the first such deployment in Korea's financial sector. The project, carried out in partnership with SK Telecom, covers 16 floors of the headquarters and supports multiple affiliates and thousands of employees.

By replacing a conventional wired office environment with private 5G connectivity, employees can work seamlessly across desks, meeting rooms, and collaborative spaces using 5G-enabled devices. The wireless infrastructure offers greater flexibility in managing office space and reduces the time and resources required for network reconfiguration when workspaces are rearranged.

The deployment incorporates multiple layers of security, including data encryption, firewalls, DDoS protection, and USIM-based authentication, ensuring that highly sensitive information is protected. The private 5G network operates on the 4.7GHz mid-band spectrum and utilizes Samsung's 5G Standalone (SA) core and network slicing technology, enabling affiliates to operate separate network environments according to their individual security policies and business requirements.

This project highlights the growing role of private 5G in combining greater workplace mobility with stringent security requirements, particularly for financial institutions seeking to protect sensitive corporate and customer data.
