KT announced on the 25th that it is advancing its 5G business network to a hub-type service to create a safe and flexible work environment for public sector clients.

The 5G business network is a communication solution for enterprises and institutional investors that replaces existing wired work infrastructure with a 5G wireless network enhanced for security. Its advantage is that it enables a SmartWork environment, allowing work to be conducted safely and flexibly without constraints of time or place. In particular, it can be used without installing software, and by applying internal network security policies of enterprises or institutional investors, it secures both convenience and security simultaneously.

The core of the '5G Hub-Type Business Network' unveiled by KT this time is strengthening network infrastructure efficiency. Unlike the previous method where government and local government entities separately built duplicate systems for each institutional investor requiring network security approval, this model is designed to be built integrally at a metropolitan-level hub so that subordinate local governments and institutional investors can share and utilize it jointly.

The 5G Hub-Type Business Network is a research outcome directly developed by KT's Future Network Lab. It is designed to segment and control traffic from terminals to the central network by section. Through this, each institutional investor can utilize common infrastructure while operating networks independently for each specific institutional investor, and adding new business networks does not require large-scale equipment deployment.

KT applied the 5G Hub-Type Business Network for the first time in the public sector, including public institutional investors and local governments, to the Gyeonggi Provincial Office. KT installed the GMG (Government Mobile Gateway), the core equipment of the 5G business network, at the Gyeonggi Provincial Office data center and launched linked business networks for seven subordinate local governments in Gyeonggi Province, including Suwon, Paju, and Uijeongbu. In the future, KT plans to additionally develop a back-office function that can separate authority between superior institutional investors and subordinate institutional investors to simultaneously strengthen independent operation by customers and infrastructure efficiency.

According to KT, this case demonstrated its service capabilities for metropolitan-level local governments as the operator of the '5G Government Network Service' under the 5th National Government Network Service (GNS) and secured experience in building and operating 5G business networks optimized for local government environments. KT plans to continuously advance its service model and expand services across the entire public sector in the future.

KT Enterprise Seo Bi-seu-bon (Director) Jeon Myeong-jun (SVP) stated, "This 5G Hub-Type Business Network model is a new business model that can be used by all customers who share internal infrastructure, including metropolitan-level local governments, government institutional investors, and public institutional investors," and added, "KT will become a company that actively supports the digital transformation of public customers using various platform services."
