Posdata said Thursday it has reached an agreement with KT and CJ Home Shopping to sell its Mobile WiMAX modems using the partners' sales networks.
The mobile Internet receiver is the size of a matchbox and can be plugged into the USB port of desktop and laptop computers. The company said it plans to release various forms of the mobile communication devices later this year, including one in the shape of memory card.
Mobile WiMAX, better known as WiBro in South Korea, is a fast-speed mobile Internet service which is still in a fledgling stage in many nations such as Korea and the United States.
The company also said that the products will be available in other countries as well, where they are negotiating to provide network equipments. It refused to name the countries or overseas partners.
``By means of terminal business cooperation with KT, Posdata will establish a total solution structure that covers all areas of Mobile WiMAX, including not only base station and control station equipment, but terminals as well,'' the firm's managing director Shin Jun-il said. ``This will enable the company to increase its competitiveness in the global market."
