Qualcomm and KTF, a wireless service operator in South Korea, announced that the first commercially available wireless Internet platform for interoperability (WIPI) on
BREW handsets will be made available in late June.
KTF said the launch of its first WIPI on BREW handsets, WIPI 2.0.B, will mark an important step for the operator as it deploys its BREW-powered "magic n'' Show Downloadpack wireless data service."
The service, offered over its new
HSDPA network, works to provide subscribers with some of the most comprehensive and compelling wireless data services available in the Korean market, including downloadable applications, games and ringtones.
"KTF subscribers have come to expect a level of quality and innovation from our ''magic n'' Show Downloadpack service,'' and Qualcomm''s BREW solution has played a significant role in setting that high standard," said Dong Won Lee, vice president for KTF.
"The adoption of WIPI on BREW phones by KTF and its partners in the Korean wireless community is an exciting testament to what is possible with mobile data services," said Arvin Chander, VP of global carrier relations, Qualcomm Internet services.
