Samsung Unveils New WiBro Devices
Samsung Electronics Tuesday unveiled four sets of WiBro devices _ SPH-M8200, SPH-P9200, SWT-H200K and SPH-H1300 _ through KT, the nation’s dominant broadband provider.
The 16.6 millimeter bar-type SPH-M8200 smart phone offers high-speed Internet and photo editing functions, while enabling users to easily make user created contents (UCC) with multimedia functions. The H200K and H1300 USB modems make it possible for users to enjoy fast Internet services, as the devices will install connection programs automatically when connected, according to the company.
The WiBro technology, also known as Mobile WiMAX, enables wireless high-speed data transmission services over mobile devices such as cell phones and laptops.
The technology is also designed to work well even when users are moving at a high speeds in vehicles.
``We hope that the latest products could be serve as an occasion to expand the WiBro market,’’ a Samsung official said.
A month ago, the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) approved WiBro as a global standard.
ITU approval could give a much needed boost to WiBro, which has so far reached less than half of its customer target of 200,000 Korean users.
WiBro is expected to become a $41.4 billion business by 2010, according to a forecast from the government-funded Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI).
Models show four sets of devices using WiBro technology produced by Samsung Electronics, Tuesday.
