This website’s goal is to provide educational resources on Korea’s launch of Next Generation WiBro broadband wireless technology, whose deployment in the 2.3 GHz band was formally launched on June 29, 2006.

A delegation of experts from the Republic of Korea, the carrier KT Corp. and suppliers Samsung and POSDATA spoke that day at WCA 2006 in Washington, DC about the launch.

A statement commemorating the occasion by Republic of Korea Ambassador to the United States Taesik Lee said, “What works for Korea works for the world.”
