First WIPI on BREW Handsets for Korean Wireless Market
Updated:2007/6/20 09:12
Qualcomm and South Korea''s KTF have announced that the first commercially available Wireless Internet Platform for Interoperability (WIPI) on BREW handsets will be made available in late June to KTF subscribers from LG Electronics. The launch of KTF''s 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 WCDMA (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. "We are pleased that KTF will continue to be able to take advantage of BREW applications through the commercial deployment of WIPI on BREW handsets." "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, vice president of global carrier relations, Qualcomm Internet Services. "Qualcomm is thrilled to continue supporting the Korean market''s growth, its innovation in offering WIPI on BREW, and the deployment of KTF''s ''magic n'' Show Downloadpack service'' on WCDMA. In addition, this launch opens new opportunities for BREW publishers and developers from around the world to export their applications to the Korean market." Source: cellular-news |
