Samsung Electronics Company Limited, a leading provider of advanced mobile technology today unveiled its Super high speed, next generation, Mobile Wi-Max 2 based on IEEE 802.16m for the first time in the country at the India Telecom Show at Pragati Maidan .The company had demonstrated this technology for the first time in ?CEATEC, Japan 2010? in Tokyo, Japan this year.
Samsung Electronics has been at the forefront of the Broadband Wireless Communication with the first deployment of Mobile Wi-Max 802.16e technology in year 2006. Since then Samsung has captured major global markets in wireless broadband technology. Today Samsung has deployed proven Wi-Max 16e technology with 57 operators across 35 countries including Clearwire, USA; Yota, Russia; UQ Communications, Japan; YTL, Malaysia; VMax, Taiwan and Mobley, Saudi Arabia accounting for more that 40% global market share.
Wimax 16m being demonstrated by Samsung Electronics at the India Telecom Show, has already been designated by ITU-R as one of its Global Standards for 4G technology. WiMAX 2 based on IEEE 802.16m standard enables more efficient, faster, and more converged data communications. The technology promises to deliver 330 Mbps of Peak down load speed. During the India Telecom show, Samsung demonstrates this by downloading 16 HD Video using 4 LFD and 3D HD video simultaneously using single 16m device. This is equivalent to 330Mbps download throughput , that has never been achieved in the history of Telecom so far. Samsung plans to commercialize 802.16m technology by end of 2011.
It is expected that the demands for Wireless Broadband will exponentially grow. As the demand for data bandwidth and speed grows exponentially, technology has needed to respond. Mobile WiMAX opened up the era of Mobile broadband and is already component of many optimized solutions in different parts of the world. ?We strongly believe that Wimax2 will deliver even richer communication services to customers while unlocking a potential opportunity for service providers. Through the collaborations with our partners in the Wimax ecosystem, Samsung has devoted its efforts to developing the most advanced solutions at the right time so that customers can maximize the benefits of using Mobile Wimax? states Dr. Hung Song Vice president of the Global Marketing Group in Telecommunication Systems Division.
?India is one of the countries with the most potential for growth of BWA (Wireless Broadband Wireless). Obvious answers to this question, whether India will take a chance to leapfrog its economic status by expanding broadband services with mature wireless technology available today with clear roadmap, that is WiMAX 16e standard with a smooth migration to16m standard or TD-LTE services in India becomes clear, depends on the Telecom Operators who have acquired precious BWA spectrum.? states Dr Song .
