KT and ArrayComm to bring multi-antenna signaling to WiBro network

South Korea's largest telecommunications service provider and a U.S. company specializing in multi-antenna software will team up to deliver better performance for new Korean WiBro network.

KT Corp. and ArrayComm will collaborate to improve the coverage, data rate and call capacity of the broadband, 2.3 GHz WiBro network that KT will deploy over the next few years.

ArrayComm's multi-antenna signal processing software (A-MAS) will eventually be incorporated in WiBro and WiMAX client devices and base stations.

ArrayComm and KT teams will conduct joint efforts to demonstrate how ArrayComm software can provide benefits for KT's WiBro initiative. These efforts include:

• Modeling the capital and operating financial benefits from the application of multi-antenna signaling in WiBro
• Incorporating MAS algorithms into KT's network planning in order to understand the coverage, client data rate, and capacity benefits that MAS can bring to WiBro services
• Conducting field trials in Q4 2006 of MAS-enabled products to validate performance characterization and refine product requirements
