Samsung's WiMAX wireless broadband Internet solution has grown quite a lot since it was first introduced, and it now seems that the Korean company is quite keen on making a strong push in this direction, as they've demoed at CEATEC Japan 2010, together with UQ Communications, a WiMAX 2 trial system based on IEEE 802.16m with a speed of 330Mbp.

As Engadget informs us, the two companies are showing Full-HD 3D videos and 16 Full-HD videos on 4 LFD (Large Format Display) TVs at the same time using its WiMAX 2 trial systems and device.

To do this, Samsung's commercial Mobile WiMAX base station is used which is currently deployed and operated by major Mobile WiMAX operators around the world.

WiMAX 2 based on IEEE 802.16m standard enables more efficient, faster, and more converged data communications, but also provides strong integration compatibility with deployed Mobile WiMAX solutions.

It also allows current Mobile WiMAX operators to migrate their solutions to WiMAX 2 by upgrading channel cards or their system software.

In addition, the subscribers who currently use Mobile WiMAX devices can communicate with new WiMAX 2 systems without difficulty.

"Technology never stops evolving. As the demand for data bandwidth and speed grows exponentially, technology has needed to respond.

Mobile WiMAX opened up the era of Mobile broadband and is already component of many optimized solutions." said Mr. Woonsub Kim, Executive Vice President and Head of the Telecommunication Systems Business of Samsung Electronics.

"We strongly believe WiMAX 2 will deliver even richer communication services to customers while unlocking a potential opportunity for service providers.

Through the collaborations with our partners in the WiMAX ecosystem, Samsung has devoted its efforts to developing the most advanced solutions at the right time so that customers can maximize the benefits of using Mobile WiMAX." he added.

WiMAX 2 standards are expected to be finalized by November 2010 and Samsung plans to introduce the first commercial solutions of WiMAX 2 in the end of 2011.
