Under the flagship theme “Toward Successful WiBro (Mobile WiMAX) and 4G” the Korean Ministry of Information and Communication is proud to host “Wireless Broadband World Forum 2006” from May 22 to 25 at Hotel Lotte World, located in beautiful and dynamic city of Seoul Korea.

For the first time in the world, Korea’s unending efforts to commercialize CDMA have now resulted in an information and communication technology (ICT) environment where individuals can enjoy new ICT services such as WiBro (Mobile WiMAX) and DMB (Digital Multimedia Broadcast) capable of providing mobile Internet and digital TV beyond time and space. In addition, the Korean government has further set its sights on “u-IT839 strategy” in promoting the vision of u-Korea to position Korea as the IT hub of Asia.

Gearing up to be one of the most exciting and important forums in the area of mobile communications, “Wireless Broadband World Forum 2006” expects to bring together an outstanding and diverse group of scientists at the forefront of research and industry. The prestigious event will also endeavor to include the next-generation of fellow scientists in providing all participants with an opportunity to learn and share the latest vision, service, and technology trends of future wireless broadband ICT.

The event’s leading organizers of Korean Institute of Communication Sciences (KICS), Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI), and International Corporation Agency for Korea IT (ICA) are already putting their best efforts together to ensure the successful outcome of this world-class forum, and will be joined by some of the industry’s most prominent leaders including KT, Samsung Electronics, SK Telecom, KTF, LG Telecom, POSDATA, Alcatel and Intel.

Please accept our warmest invitations for you to join us as we explore the cutting edge technologies and global trend issues to be delved by top leading global researchers and industry pioneers alongside fellow scientists and engineers.
