According to the agreement, SK Broadband will lay dual optical cables for the administrative communication network and install network equipment at 22 locations, including four district offices and major business sites.

In case of a network failure, a non-stop operation system will be established that automatically switches to the dualized line, and regular maintenance and servicing will be conducted during the contract period.

Additionally, two outdated encryption devices between Gyeonggi Province and Suwon City will be supported, and both parties agreed to mutually cooperate for the future development of Suwon City's IT (information and communication) infrastructure.

Lee Jae-jun, Mayor of Suwon, stated, "In recent years, there have been incidents where information and communication services were interrupted due to fires and other causes," adding, "With the dualization of the administrative communication network, we will be able to provide uninterrupted administrative communication services even in the event of a disaster."
