South Korea's mobile wireless technology WiBro should implement a global bandwidth standard before the technology can be exported worldwide, the vice president of Intel said Friday.
"WiBro as a technology itself is suboptimal," Sriram Viswanathan, vice president of Intel Architecture Group, said in an interview with Yonhap News Agency in Barcelona, Spain. "It could be better."
WiBro, short for Wireless Broadband, is an improved version of existing wireless broadband technologies, such as WiFi, or wireless fidelity. A version of mobile WiMAX, WiBro overcomes rate limitations on data for mobile phones and enables a higher degree of mobility for broadband Internet access. South Korea's telecom operators -- KT and SK Telecom -- launched commercial WiBro services in 2006.
