	WiBro - Wireless Broadband Wimax Wibro Internet Broadband WiMax WIBRO
		WiBro technology will allow a variety of wireless devices such as cellular phones and PDAs to be able to transmit data at fast speeds over the Internet.
		Wibro also made an apperances at the Winter Olympic Games in Italy, as Samsung Electronics formed a strategic alliance with the largest telecommunication company in Italy’, Telecom Italia (TI), where it was agreed to try and demonstrate the WiBro service during the Games.
		WiBro base stations will offer an aggregate data throughput of 30 to 50 Mbit/s and cover a radius of 1-5 km allowing for the use of portable internet usage within the range of a base station.

	What is WiBro? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		WiBro is based on the same IEEE 802.16 standard as WiMax, but is designed to maintain connectivity on the go, tracking a receiver at speeds of up to 37 miles per hour (60 km/h).
		WiBro can be thought of "mobile WiMax," though the technology and its exact specifications will change as it undergoes refinements throughout its preliminary stages.
		WiBro is expected to be widely deployed in South Korea by the middle of 2006.

	WebWire® \| SAMSUNG Demonstrates WiBro Hand-over Technology
		Wireless Broadband (WiBro), a home-grown Korean standard closely related to the mobile WiMAX technology (IEEE 802.16e standard), is a wireless high-speed data communications service that is operational at speeds of up to 120 km per hour.
		Samsung is an early adopter of the WiBro technology and we are proud to be presenting the results of our development through live demonstrations of this technology,” he stated.
		WiBro is based on Mobile WiMAX technology developed by Korea ’s Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI) and industry players.

	WiBro - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		WiBro was devised to overcome the speed limitation of mobile phone(for example CDMA 1x)and to add mobility to broadband internet(for example ASDL or Wireless LAN).
		In February 2002, the Korean government allocated 100 MHz of electromagnetic spectrum in the 2.3 - 2.4 GHz band, and in late 2004 WiBro Phase 1 was standardized by the TTA (Telecommunications Technology Association) of Korea and in late 2005 ITU(International Telecommunication Union) reflected WiBro as IEEE 802.16e.
		WiBro base stations will offer an aggregate data throughput of 30 to 50 Mbit/s and cover a radius of 1-5 km allowing for the use of portable internet usage.

	AsiaMedia :: KOREA: Samsung makes risky bet on WiBro
		WiBro is a made-in-Korea technology that allows people on the go to remain hooked up to the Internet at the speed of the current fixed-line broadband.
		SK Telecom, the foremost wireless carrier, is also reluctant to shell out big bucks on WiBro, which is likely to undercut its main revenue sources of mobile voice calls and data services in cell phone.
		Actually, the two technologies are clearly different in that WiBro is a mobility-specific service while WiMax, development of which is led by the top global chipmaker Intel, is a wireless offering for people at a standstill.

		WiBro is just one part of Korea's comprehensive strategy for leadership in next-generation mobile communications services and devices.
		WiBro and, ultimately, 4G devices will put Korean manufacturers of both cellular infrastructure and handsets at the top of the league.
		Clearly, WiBro is just a stepping stone toward Korea's big goal: eventual dominance in 4G technology that will start to replace today's 3G in the next three to four years.

		WiBro could also prove to be a major step by Samsung and Koreans to dominate an important wireless standard, and steal some of the U.S. long held hedgemony for telecom and technology standards.
		In February Telecom Italia launched a WiBro trial for the winter Olympics, calling the move “Europe’s first WiBro network,” with further plans to roll-out WiBro in the country in 2007.
		With its Wibro projects, Samsung seems to be securing a spot on the wireless broadband leaders’ board, although not necessarily with Wibro.

	South Korea's government has high hopes for WiBro \| InfoWorld \| News \| 2005-07-19 \| By Paul Kallender, IDG News Service (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Despite this setback, commercial WiBro services will debut in South Korea in June 2006 and the technology is expected to attract 9 million subscribers in the country by 2011, according to the MIC.
		MIC is hoping for bigger things for WiBro once the international IEEE 802.16e standard for the technology is approved in October, said Wee Kyu-Jin, director of the Radio Research Laboratory's Regulation Research Department.
		WiBro will have a market in South Korea, but the delay in settling the mobile WiMax standard means that vendors will first concentrate on producing fixed WiMax products, according to Song Sauk-Hun, a principal analyst at Gartner in South Korea.

		WiBro is an emerging broadband technology intended to let people use wireless devices such as cell phones to watch several TV broadcasts and surf the Internet simultaneously.
		While WiBro is quite exacting in its requirements from spectrum use to equipment design, WiMAX leaves much of this up to the equipment provider while providing enough detail to ensure interoperability between designs.
		WiBro is a WiMAX-like system developed in South Korea to provide better data handling than 3G cellular networks can provide before 4G networks arrive.

		WiBro is a broadband wireless internet technology being developed by the Korean telecoms industry.
		In February 2002, the Korean Government allocated 100MHz of spectrum in the 2.3GHz band, and in late 2004 WiBro Phase 1 was standardized by the TTA(Telecommunications Technology Association) of Korea.
		From one point of view this is a stronger advantage for the technology; the spectrum it uses is licensed and correspondingly protected from un-licensed use, negating any potential interference from other sources using the same spectrum.

	From WiBro to 4G - Communications - News - ZDNet Asia
		Developed by the South Korean telecoms industry, WiBro is a wireless broadband technology based on the IEEE 802.16 standard--also popularly referred to as WiMax.
		WiBro is capable of providing continuous wireless broadband connection even while traveling at speeds of 120 kilometers per hour, and supports the IEEE 802.16e specification that was approved in December last year.
		He added that WiBro's key distinction from a wireless local area network, or Wi-Fi, and fixed WiMax is in its ability to provide "handover functionality" and therefore, ubiquitous connection.

		Subsequently, the idea of commercially launching the compelling WiBro services seems like a sure thing just as the country’s No. 1 fixed-line carrier KT is poised to do late this month.
		Then WiBro will gain a momentum but the defection will cause a much-feared revenue cannibalization for KT, which retains roughly half of the country’s total 12.5 million fixed-line Internet service subscribers.

		WiBro appears to have leapfrogged IEEE 802.16e, the mobile variant of the IEEE 802.16 standard, which is still in the draft stage.
		Critics may point to the fact that WiBro, being a home-grown Korean standard, will not enjoy the same international acceptance and economies of scale as WiMAX, touted by Intel to be "the global standard".
		It is possible that WiBro was adapted from an early version of 802.16e and further developed domestically until the Koreans were pressured to continue their work under the auspices of the IEEE.

		Samsung showed several devices using WiBro at CES: WiBro is an early version of 802.16e, which will be the basis for what is loosely being called mobile WiMax in the U.S. and elsewhere.
		Because WiBro operates at 2.3 GHz in South Korea, a range not available in the U.S., and because 2.4 GHz probably has too many limits, 2.5 GHz is the most likely band to be used, but it’s mostly tied up by Sprint Nextel, and is in the middle of a reorganization.
