Samsung Electronics is demonstrating its Mobile WiMAX technology and new products at the International Consumer Electronics Show (CES).
Sprint's partners in its 4G wireless broadband initiative -- Samsung, Intel and Motorola, will conduct live demonstrations of Mobile WiMAX through live video conferencing between their booths. Applications such as the push-to-all technology will also be demonstrated. In addition, Samsung's new Mobile WiMAX devices, the SPH-P9000 and the M8100 will be used at the demonstration, allowing visitors to personally experience Mobile WiMAX technology.
The SPH-P9000 is a true Mobile WiMAX convergence device, which enables wireless broadband access and voice communications, while the M8100 is the first commercially available Mobile WiMAX PDA device.
Data transmission speeds of 100Mbps were achieved on a moving bus and speeds of 3.5Gbps were achieved under stationary conditions. The technology has already been commercialized in South Korea since May 2006, and Samsung now provides Mobile WiMAX network solutions to various service providers in North and South America, and Asia. The SPH-P9000 and SPH-M8100 will be launched in South Korea in the first half of 2007. No plans have been made for their introduction in the US.
