South Korea's WiBro Arriving Before WiMax Will Be Good Testing Ground It's a flavor of WiMax that Intel is helping to develop and Sprint aims to test here.(INTERNET & TECHNOLOGY)
Byline: REINHARDT KRAUSE
South Korea's government hopes to groom WiBro as the next wireless technology that will fuel the country's export sales.
WiBro is that country's flavor of a wireless broadband technology called WiMax. It's just one of many emerging wireless Internet technologies following up on the popular Wi-Fi. (See related stories A5-A7.)
In the U.S., Intel and other companies are backing WiMax standards. South Korea will be the first country to try out WiBro, a mobile version of WiMax.
WiBro has been designed to whisk voice, data and video to mobile phones, handheld devices and laptop computers. It'll be faster and have a much longer reach than Wi-Fi. So it will work even for users in fast-moving cars or trains.
WiBro, say its backers, will carry much more Internet content than cell phone networks or Wi-Fi networks. South Korea is a good place to test that claim, since its wireless phone networks rate among the world's best.
If WiBro succeeds in South Korea, that would give mobile WiMax a big boost in the U.S. and elsewhere.
