Seoul--(뉴스와이어)--Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., a leading provider of modern telecommunication network products and devices, announced its agreement to team up with Croatia’s fixed operator H1, to rollout WiMAX to the Croatian market. The two companies entered a strategic partnership in February 2006, during the process of introducing the latest telecommunication equipment to the Croatian market. Samsung will be providing the Croatian market with the equipment and technologies for its upcoming friendly user trial service. The friendly user trial service will begin in Split, Croatia’s second largest city, followed by nationwide availability soon thereafter.

WiMAX trial in Croatia is considered to be historical as it will be the first actual commercialization of the 3.5GHz frequency in the European market. The standard WiMAX frequency in the European market is 3.5GHz, and is expected to expand greatly following the fulfillment of the contract between Samsung and H1.

Kitae Lee, President of Samsung Electronics Telecommunication Network Business, said “Samsung and H1 are proud to announce the upcoming friendly user trial service of WiMAX to the Croatian market. Samsung’s leadership and H1’s strong contribution in developing the Croatian telecommunication market will result in greater benefits for all of the Croatian residents and consumers.”

H1, the innovative operator serving the Croatian telecommunication market, continues to introduce the next generation services with the announcement of WiMAX service. H1’s constant efforts to advance and improve the Croatian market will benefit the consumers, stimulate healthy competition, and ultimately contribute to the economic prosperity of Croatia.

Samsung Electronics has had successful experiences of introducing WiMAX technology to other nations. Samsung has entered contracts to supply WiMAX equipment to USA, Italy, Brazil, and Venezuela. With an extensive knowledge and history involving the telecommunication and network business, Samsung has truly paved the way to globalizing WiMAX.
