Description:
Samsung Electronics signed an agreement with Venezuelan pay-TV and telecommunications operator Omnivision C.A. to deploy a mobile broadband service in the South American country.

Samsung will begin deploying a Mobile WiMax-compatible network in the third quarter of 2006 and Omnivision plans to start offering service from the fourth quarter of the year in Caracas. The service will be expanded to cover Venezuela's 7 major cities during a three-year roll-out, they said.

The agreement follows a similar one signed in November by Samsung with TVA Sistema de Televisao SA in Brazil. Under that deal Samsung will supply a network that will enter trial service in the second quarter of 2006.
