[Edaily Reporter Park Jeong-soo] #GiantStep’s subsidiary, Kima Systems, is accelerating the expansion of its hardware infrastructure business following successive successes in building the Korea Baseball Organization (KBO) review system and entering the Internet Data Center (IDC) market.

Giant Step announced on the 4th that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Kima Systems, has undertaken the KBO’s video review system innovation project and has begun supplying high-performance storage solutions to major domestic media infrastructure companies.
Kima Systems, a company specializing in broadcasting, video, and telecommunications solutions, has installed wired and wireless intercom systems for KBO video review at nine stadiums nationwide this year. It has also entered the IDC market to meet the growing demand for data center infrastructure driven by the spread of AI.
The newly introduced wireless intercom system is designed to address the inconvenience of the previous method, where umpires had to move around to receive wired headsets during the video review process.
Umpires can now communicate instantly with the review center from the field, and even in-stadium microphone commentary is connected through a single system. The company explained that, in particular, a single wireless belt pack enables real-time information sharing between the review center, the umpire’s room, the scorekeeper’s room, the ABS (Automatic Ball-Strike System) room, and the stadium’s internal systems, thereby enhancing the efficiency of game operations.
Kima Systems has also secured a new business foothold in the IDC market, a core infrastructure of the AI era. Amid growing demand for large-scale video data storage and high-performance computing, the company is supplying high-performance, large-capacity storage systems to the IDC centers of major domestic media infrastructure companies, leveraging its global equipment sourcing capabilities and system integration (SI) technology.
The company highlights its experience accumulated over the past 20 years in the broadcasting and video infrastructure sector as a key strength. It manufactured Korea’s first MBC Chungbuk UHD broadcast truck and has built broadcast truck systems for major broadcasters such as JTBC, KBC, and CMB.
Furthermore, starting with the 2014 Incheon Asian Games, the company has participated in the construction of broadcast links and International Broadcast Centers (IBCs) for major international sporting events, including the Beijing Winter Olympics, the Qatar World Cup, and the Paris Olympics.
Recently, the company has been expanding its business scope through projects such as building the competition system for the esports tournament “2025–2026 SK T1 Home Ground,” supporting the broadcast system for the “2026 UCI MTB World Series Pyeongchang,” and constructing an XR LED studio.
A Giant Step representative stated, “Kima Systems is a hardware system solutions company with experience in building infrastructure for terrestrial broadcasting and international sports events,” adding, “We plan to expand our external business opportunities by leveraging the intercom installation across all KBO stadiums and the supply of IDC storage.” The representative further noted, “We will secure future growth engines by combining this with Giant Step’s AI capabilities.”
Meanwhile, Giant Step is pursuing four new strategic business areas—AI content, mobility, spatial solutions, and hardware infrastructure—in response to the era of generative AI. The company plans to use this achievement to enhance the visibility of its hardware infrastructure business performance and accelerate its business diversification efforts.
