Samsung Electronics will demonstrate the next generation telecommunications technologies at its annual international forum, which will shed light on global 4G technologies and gadgets.

Samsung will unveil the world’s first 4G mobile technology `Mobile WiMAX Wave2' using a commercial PCMCIA at the two-day `5th Annual Samsung 4G Forum 2007,' starting from Aug. 27 at Shilla Hotel, central Seoul.

Mobile WiMAX Wave2 is the next-generation of mobile communication technology, mixing 4G technology such as MIMO (Multi Input Multi Output) and Smart Antenna with WiBro technology. The new technology will be commercialized next year.

This year’s Samsung 4G Forum will draw more than 130 influential industry leaders and service providers from 26 countries. It will mark the first time that all three candidate 4G technology _ IEEE 802.16m (Mobile WiMAX), 3GPP2 Ultra Mobile Broadband (UMB) and 3GPP Long Term Evolution (LTE) _ will be seen with each other.

Each of the 4G technologies has a head cheerleader, with Intel supporting WiMAX, Ericsson touting LTE and Qualcomm preferring UMB. IEEE 802.16m WiMAX, UMB and LTE are expected to be initially implemented in 2010.

Under the theme of ``Explore Technology & Standard for 4G Realization,’’ the forum also offers data speed comparisons of existing commercial Mobile WiMAX technology and 4G technologies. Both technologies will be showcased through video game applications.

Some key presentations will also include best mapping strategies between spectrum brands and services.

``Samsung will continue to invest in future technologies and contribute to the standardization efforts for 4G technology to lead the market,’’ said Choi Gee-sung, president of Samsung’s telecommunications network business division.

4G technology, commonly called IMT-Advanced, has been considered to be the most advanced next-generation mobile telecommunication system, offering up to 1 gigabytes data speed for a stationary environment and 100 megabytes for a mobile environment.
