Introduction to WiBro Technology

WiBro, or Wireless Broadband, is the newest variety of mobile wireless broadband access.

WiBro technology is being developed by the Korean Telecoms industry. It is based on the IEEE 802.16e (Mobile WiMax) international standard.

History

Korean based fixed-line operators KT,SK Telecom were the first to get the licenses by the South Korean government to provide WiBro Commercially. Samsung had a demonstration on WiBro Mobile Phones and Systems at the APEC IT Exhibition 2006. WiBro is comprised of two phases namely WiBro Phase I and WiBro Phase II

Why WiBro?

Provide the way to use high speed internet service not only in home but also in outdoor. Maximize the spectral efficiency

Extend the service coverage

Reduce the cost per bit

Low power consumption at AT

Faster handoff

WiBro vs WiMax

Physical Layer Differences. MAC Layer Differences-handoffs.

Network architecture Differences.

Advantages

Low cost and High Data rate. The technology will also offer Quality of Service.

The spectrum it uses is licensed and correspondingly protected from un-licensed use.
WiBro can be considered as Mobile WiMax which can be used while the receiver is in motion. High network capacity

Disadvantages

The proprietary nature of WiBro and its use of licensed spectrum that may not be available across the globe may keep it from becoming an international standard. Interference.

Conclusion
WiBro is the first wireless broadband service in the world using 2.3 GHz band. Provide 1Mbps data rate with movement(60Km/h) New type of wireless service complements fixed broadband internet and 3G wireless service. User can access plain internet website in mobile environment with low price Various types of bundling strategies exist

Future Plans

WiBro Expected to be widely deployed all over the world in a few years. Some Telcos in many countries are trying to commercialize WiBro.
