Program Summary: “802.16e Why WiMax? – Why not WiBro!”

Samsung is taking a leading role in the development of the IEEE802.16e standard. In fact, Samsung, in cooperation with ETRI, KT, SKT and KTF will launch the WiBro (Wireless Broadband) service in South Korea early in 2006. It has been widely recognized that the WiMax service (in the form of WiBro) will initiate in South Korea and from there spread to the rest of the world. This talk will describe the features of the WiBro service and give the listeners a hint of what can be expected in the US in a few years.
