SKB's Set-Top Box and Giga WiFi Win 'Red Dot Design Award 2026' View original image

On April 29, SK Broadband announced that its "AI 5 Set-Top Box" and "Giga WiFi 7" have won the main prize in the product category at the Red Dot Design Award 2026 in Germany.


The "AI 5 Set-Top Box" features a matte black finish based on a circular design that minimizes unnecessary elements. The buttons and logo, previously located on the top, have been purposefully concealed to reduce any mechanical impression and deliver a restrained form that blends naturally into its surroundings. By reducing cable exposure, it provides a neat user environment, and meticulous surface finishing emphasizes harmony with the space, elevating it beyond a simple electronic device.


The "Giga WiFi 7" incorporates antennas built in at angles optimized for WiFi signals, resulting in a simple design. Its basic L-shape structure can be unfolded up to 180 degrees, allowing for diverse placement options such as on a desk or behind a TV. In addition, the air vent, perfected through repeated testing, is designed to reduce heat solely through the flow of air.
