re: 4G in Korea >> 4G Already? Korea Hopes So 25/01/2002 Tamsin McMahon Europemedia.net BWCS While mobile operators are still working out how to implement third-generation networks, Korea’s Ministry of Information and Communication has announced that it will invest KRW135.4bn (E118m) to develop 4G mobile communications. Fourth-generation technology is generally considered to allow data transmission speeds up to 50 times faster than 3G. For the next three years, Korea plans to focus on developing broadband packet-switched wireless networks and WLANs, and delivering multimedia internet services over those networks. The Korean government has agreed to collaborate with Japan to develop the 4G technology and accompanying international standards. It also plans to consult with other groups involved with next-generation mobile services. The news comes just as Korea Telecom Corporation and Hanaro Telecom announced they will launch their WLAN hotspot services in 25,000 locations across South Korea by the end of the year.

In the first phase of this investment strategy slated to run until 2005, the Korean government will focus on the development of broadband packet-switched wireless networks and wireless local area networks. The primary focus of the first phase project will be the delivery of multimedia internet services over broadband wireless networks. As part of the 4G development process the Korean government plans to undertake a wide-ranging consultation with groups involved in the provision of next-generation mobile services. Earlier this month the Ministry of Information and Communication revealed that it had agreed to cooperate and collaborate with the Japanese government in the development of 4G technologies and international standards. The government’s backing of wireless LANs as an integral part of its 4G strategy coincided with announcements by two leading Korean telecoms operators, Korea Telecom Corporation and Hanaro Telecom, concerning the imminent launch of their W-LAN (IEEE80211.b) hotspot services. The operators will rollout hotspots in a combined total of 25,000 locations across South Korean by the end of 2002. << >> Korea Set to Develop Fourth-Generation Wireless Phones January 24, 2002 Maeil Business Newspaper In an effort to develop fourth-generation mobile phone handsets, the Korean government said Jan. 22 that it would invest 135 billion won in the mobile phone industry. The 4G mobile services, or "systems beyond IMT-2000," will follow IMT-2000 (3G) phones, which have yet to be rolled out. The Ministry of Information & Communications announced its plan to invest 135.4 billion won in the domestic mobile phone industry in phases by 2005. The funds will be spent on developing high-speed packet transmission, fixed wireless telecom and mobile software, as well as networking technologies. The ministry will soon set up a taskforce to prepare for the "dream" technology. (1,315.4 won = US$1) << - Eric -

Siemens and Nokia announced joint support for a global open standard for broadband wireless networks At 3GSM World Congress 2002 in Cannes, the Siemens Information and Communication Mobile Group (IC Mobile) and Nokia Networks announced their joint support and coordination for the speedy conclusion of the standardization process within European Telecommunication Standards Institute (ETSI) on the Broadband Radio Access Networks Hiper Access (BRAN HA). The two companies will cooperate with the aim of integrating the basic frame and features of ETSI BRAN with some of the characteristic features recently published by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc. IEEE 802.16, the first non-proprietory standard for broadband wireless access usage.
