WiBro; Korea penetration into Japan’s WiFi market
Multiple leading companies from South Korea, a leading nation in broadband technology that is charging ahead of others for expansion in the Japanese WiMAX market, held an exhibit in Shinagawa Tokyo to showcase their products and technological collaborations.
WiBro is an abbreviation for Wireless Broadband and is the unique service name for the WiMAX standard used by South Korea.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications announced that two companies in Japan will acquire WiMAX licensing sometime in 2007.
What will the impact be from the expansion in the Japanese market by leading companies from South Korea that deal with WiBro related products? Japan is a highly mobile society, so WiMAX will likely be of keen interest to those living in Japan because it enables high speed internet access “any time, any place”.
