Hana Financial Builds Korea's First 5G Private Network for Banking Operations, Launching Cheongna Smart Office
True
Hana Financial Group has become the first financial institution in South Korea to establish a 5G specialized network (5G 특화망) for its business operations, deploying the private network at its Cheongna smart office and moving the site into full operation.
Private 5G for Banking Work
Hana Bank has set up a 5G specialized network dedicated to its work environment, a first among South Korean financial companies. The deployment is centered on the bank's Cheongna smart office, where the network now supports day-to-day operations.
The 5G private network is separate from public commercial networks, allowing the bank to run business services on dedicated infrastructure. The move marks the first time a South Korean financial-sector company has built its business network on 5G specialized network technology.
Cheongna Smart Office in Full Swing
With the network in place, the Cheongna smart office is now ramping up operations in earnest. The site operates as a smart office for Hana Bank, powered by the dedicated 5G infrastructure.
The images accompanying the announcement were provided by SK Telecom's newsroom and Hana Bank, respectively.
The claim that Hana Financial is the first in the financial sector to build a 5G specialized network for business operations is True.
