Last October, KT Corporation acquired Super-iMAX to launch wireless internet and broadband services with 2.3GHz spectrum in the Uzbekistan region. Super-iMAX will begin offering Mobile WiMAX services in September 2008 and aims to expand their services nationwide.
POSDATA will provide Mobile WiMAX base stations, ASN-gateways, network management systems, as well as terminals for service subscribers. The system is based on 2.3GHz profile 1B and includes the latest Wave 2 technology, which supports Multiple-Input and Multiple-Output (MIMO) technology.
The deployment of the newly developed Mobile WiMAX network in Uzbekistan is a collaborative effort between POSDATA and KT Corporation. This collaboration is a significant milestone for both companies.
In Central Asia, especially Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan, there are abundance of natural resources and high demand for IT infrastructure. Not only is this a great opportunity to spread the technology, but it will be a useful reference for other markets.
"We are very excited about this win in Uzbekistan, it means a lot to us" said Mr. Byung-Chang Yoo, CEO of POSDATA. He added that "POSDATA is entering the Central Asian markets for the first time and this reinforces our position as a global leader in Mobile WiMAX technology." said.
