Samsung SDS announced on August 24 that it has been awarded the contract for Seoul National University's "Next-Generation Network Platform Transition for Building an Intelligent Campus" project.

This project aims to lay the groundwork for turning Seoul National University into an AI native campus by building a high-performance network infrastructure essential for AI research and education.

Seoul National University plans to upgrade the quality of wired and wireless campus networks used by approximately 50,000 people across a total of 243 buildings, and to transition to an ultra-high-speed, high-bandwidth network environment with 800Gbps capacity to enable fast transmission of large-scale data required for AI research.

Samsung SDS will utilize its software-defined networking (SDN) capabilities to centrally manage the university’s campus network, facilitating swift network service delivery and enhancing the efficiency of operations. SDN is a technology that enables integrated control and operation of the entire network through software.

To strengthen the campus network's security, a software-based network segregation will be implemented, and Samsung SDS will also introduce a user-centric network automation portal linked with SDN.

Based on its extensive experience in large-scale network operations and expertise in SDN and automation, Samsung SDS plans to reinforce its network business supporting AI transformation for enterprises, public institutions, educational, and medical organizations.

Jungheon Lee, Executive Vice President and Head of Strategic Marketing at Samsung SDS, said, "By leveraging Samsung SDS's large-scale SDN design, construction, and operation capabilities, we will create a stable and convenient intelligent campus environment and establish a standard model to be referenced by universities around the world."
