Post-show wrap: Samsung’s multi-pronged WiMAX strategy
Of any vendor, Samsung probably has the most fingers in the WiMAX pie here in the US. Not only is its network division building a substantial portion of Clearwire’s WiMAX network in the US, its PC division is embedding WiMAX chips into laptops and its handset division just released a stand-alone WiMAX data device, the Mondi—all to support Clearwire’s launch.
In an interview at CTIA Wireless, Dr. Hwan Woo Chung, Samsung’s senior vice president of wireless broadband systems, shared with us all of the details of the vendor’s multi-faceted wireless strategy. He discussed the philosophy behind the design of the Mondi and why Samsung chose to launch the device while its potential market is still small. Chung also detailed some of Samsung’s future device plans and shared the scope and scale of the vendor’s current WiMAX build out in the US.
