AI infrastructure specialist company SNET Systems (Co-CEOs Park Hyodae and Lee Namjak) announced on December 24 that, in collaboration with Cisco, it has successfully completed a next-generation network infrastructure project for the E-Center/CNS Research Center at Sungkyunkwan University.
This project was initiated to enable Sungkyunkwan University to operate its increasingly complex research environment and growing research demand more stably, while also elevating the level of its research infrastructure. In particular, Sungkyunkwan University demonstrated a strong commitment to adopting cutting-edge technology by applying Wi-Fi 7-a technology not yet widely adopted by domestic universities-to its research environment.
Specifically, by deploying Cisco Wi-Fi 7 indoor access points for high-performance wireless connectivity, Cisco Wi-Fi 6E outdoor access points for stable indoor and outdoor connections, and Cisco Catalyst 9300 and 9500 series switches to support large-scale data processing, the project enabled ultra-low latency and high-density simultaneous connections, significantly improving the ability to handle large-volume traffic.
Throughout this process, SNET Systems leveraged its years of accumulated customer insight and network construction experience to systematically manage the entire process, from architecture design tailored to the research environment to implementation and operation. The project was carried out in connection with Cisco's Country Digital Acceleration (CDA) program to support the digital transformation of the research and education sector in phases, and applied the latest network technologies suited to the specific characteristics of Sungkyunkwan University's research environment by referencing global university cases.
With this new infrastructure, Sungkyunkwan University students can now connect research equipment and systems in real time on a stable foundation, greatly enhancing the speed of processing and sharing large-scale research data. This not only ensures a stable digital learning environment, but also simultaneously improves collaboration efficiency among researchers and academic engagement. Data management and security levels have also been strengthened, enabling more efficient operations across a variety of research fields, including bio-health and new drug development.
Kim Sungjong, Executive Director of SNET Systems’ Corporate Business Division, stated, "SNET Systems designed and built the optimal infrastructure tailored to the needs of the new research environment, enabling Sungkyunkwan University to secure a highly reliable research environment." He added, "We will continue to support digital innovation in the education sector as a company that grows together with our clients and addresses their challenges on site."
