Selected as the project operator by the Public Procurement Service, SK Telink replaced and newly installed satellite communication equipment on more than 60 Korea Coast Guard main and branch control centers and vessels by this month.

The project focused on replacing outdated equipment and improving the performance of the operating system with the goals of enhancing the quality of the Coast Guard's satellite communication, establishing a stable operational environment, and increasing maritime work efficiency through strengthened information sharing systems.

Additionally, to respond to increasingly sophisticated cyber threats and protect various critical information generated during the Coast Guard's training and operational processes, a 'Integrated Threat Management and Security Management System' was newly applied to enhance system security.

Lee Sin-yong, head of SK Telink's satellite business, stated, "We will continue to strengthen our business capabilities and technical support systems to meet the demands of public sector clients, including the Coast Guard."
