As a designated testing institution by the National Radio Research Agency and a KOLAS-accredited testing laboratory, HCT has established a stable growth foundation over the past 25 years by safely conducting hundreds of thousands of testing and certification cases in the ICT sector.

As Korea's first 5G testing accreditation institution, HCT provided technical support for the commercialization of 5G and is now working to secure core technologies for the 6G era by developing AI-based frequency interference analysis and radio wave prediction technologies.

Additionally, HCT is enhancing its business portfolio by expanding its testing and certification capabilities to national strategic industries such as space and defense.

The company has established a domestic testing foundation by developing radiation testing technology for space components, and is securing globally trusted certification technologies through collaborations with global defense companies.

As a key partner supporting clients’ overseas expansion, HCT is also strengthening its global infrastructure.

By supporting local certification procedures for Korean companies through its bases in the United States and Indonesia, HCT is contributing to tangible improvements in competitiveness such as reducing product launch times and certification costs.

Furthermore, HCT is helping to spread Korea’s ICT testing and certification systems internationally and expand global cooperation by operating technical cooperation and training programs in developing countries including Mongolia, Jordan, and Indonesia.

An HCT representative stated, "This Presidential Citation is the result of recognition for our technological capabilities not only in testing and certification but also across future industries such as 5G, 6G, space, and defense. We will continue to contribute to the development of the ICT industry based on our world-class testing and certification capabilities."

Meanwhile, as a KOLAS-accredited calibration institution, HCT is the only company among domestic testing and certification firms to simultaneously operate both testing/certification and calibration businesses, thereby creating synergies between the two areas.

In particular, HCT has secured proprietary calibration technology by establishing a KOLAS calibration system for ultra-high frequency satellite communication test equipment, and, based on this, is leading the standards in related industries and contributing to the establishment of technical standards in the AI era.
