BANGALORE: Korea's home-grown WiBro (wireless broadband) technology could well turn out to be the "missing link" between 3G and 4G networks! According to published reports, WiBro will likely be commercially deployed next year in Korea, providing a natural, evolutionary path for wireless mobility.
Wibro allows users to maintain an Internet connection on mobile devices even as they move around.
WiBro is based on the IEEE 802.16e standard, better known as 'mobile WiMAX.' It will have a significant advantage over mobile WiMAX as WiBro will be commercially deployed in South Korea's broadband testing ground much before any WiMAX players are ready to roll.
The Wibro services operate at up to a quarter of the speed of "Wi-Fi" services provided in public places such as coffee shops, but do not require users to remain in a "hot spot" near a transmitter.
The 2.3-GHz portable Internet service allows subscribers to use high-speed Internet more cheaply and more widely, even when moving at speeds of about 60 km (37 miles) per hour.
Samsung reportedly demonstrated the first WiBro services with mobility in Korea last November, and an early start could well prepare the company for other markets.
