Description:
WiBro is Korean Wireless Broadband service based on Mobile WiMAX technology. It is anticipated that the commercial launch of WiBro services in Korea will drive the momentum for Mobile WiMAX technology solution in Asian markets. The WiBro services are expected to offer each user up to 4Mbps down and 2Mbps uplink capability.

KT, plans to team with Intel to harmonize the Korean WiBro standard with WiMax. Samsung Mobile WiMAX products will be compliant with the WiMAX Forum requirements. Samsung has significantly contributed to the IEEE 802.16e standards and was elected to the Board of Directors of the WiMAX Forum in April 2005.

Because Korea will likely be the first to have a widespread mobile broadband wireless network when KT launches WiBro in the middle of 2006, it’ll be the place to watch. If KT uses WiMax to essentially boost the speed of its CDMA network and if it meets success, other mobile operators around the globe may think harder about using WiMax themselves.
