Samsung showcases the world’s first mobile WiMAX handset
(Barcelona, Spain, February 13, 2006) - At 3GSM this week, Samsung will demonstrate the WiBro (Korean Wireless Broadband) service on one of its world’s first WiBro phones, the Samsung M8000. Samsung’s WiBro demonstration is an exciting precursor to the first commercial service going live in the Korean market in the first half of 2006.
WiBro, a Korean brand name of Mobile WiMAX service, fully compliant with IEEE 802.16e TDD OFDMA standard, is a wireless high-speed broadband service able to deliver voice, data and video at speeds of up to 120 km per hour. Samsung’s WiBro (Mobile WiMAX) technology provides true mobile connectivity by giving users seamless broadband connections anytime, anywhere.
Mobile WiMAX’s advantages include a broad range of converged services delivered from a single, IP-based network. Home, business, and vehicular applications include Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIp), video telephony, multimedia messaging and conferencing, location and telematic services, broadcast, and multimedia push and demand services.
Mobile WiMAX will drive revenue through delivery of broadband services to rural and suburban locations not accessible by current technology as well as creating broadband “hot zones” in more densely populated areas. Mobile WiMAX is also capable of delivering access and transport convenience and cost savings through wireless backhaul.
Using the M8000, a smart phone equipped with a QWERTY keypad, Samsung will showcase WiBro services available in the Korean market through a series of applications including broadcasting, home networking, video conferencing, video-on-demand, mobile navigations, and push-to-all (push-to-talk/data/video).
Kitae Lee, president of Samsung’s Telecommunications Network Business, said: “Our European demonstration at 3GSM is a preview of what consumers can expect in Korea later this year.”
“As a leader in developing Mobile WiMAX globally, Samsung knows the tremendous benefits this technology offers consumers.”.
