Operational

KINX's self-owned, carrier-neutral colocation facility in Gwacheon has reported designed IT capacity of 10 MW. Operator history records opening in October 2024; a November announcement confirms official opening, and subsequent investor materials report service opening completed in December 2024. The data center is separate from the office building on the same property. Capacity describes infrastructure provision rather than measured customer utilization.
