1. Introduction
Wireless Broadband in Korea / YM Kim/ 15.11.2005 / ©
• Korea is the first country in the world that has successfully commercialized the CDMA
technology. In the late 2002, Korea was already offering CDMA2000 EVDO service at the speed
of 2.4Mbps downstream at the maximum. Satellite Digital Multimedia Service (DMB) that is
currently offering mobile TV service was commercially launched in May this year. Terrestrial
DMB is coming at the yearend. Wireless broadband internet service, Wibro, is slated for
commercial service during Q2 in 2006. 3.5G mobile technology, HSDPA, is expected to be
available next year as well. It is eye-popping to watch all these network technologies being
deployed, handsets being developed and available, and services being used. It will be even
more so when these various networks are integrated and converged, which is now underway in
Korea. The keywords that are reflecting the mega trend in the Korean wireless industry -
wireless broadband internet, multimedia, and convergence.
• From operators’ point of view, mobile subscribers have reached saturation, revenue from pure
voice calls has decreased, and competition among operators has never been more fierce. In
order to sustain growth, it has been imperative for the operators to find new revenue sources,
which are wireless broadband internet and wireless multimedia. To generate revenue from
‘anywhere, anytime, anyone’, these two services need to be seamlessly offered and easily
available to customers on ‘any network’ That is why ‘Convergence Business’ or ‘U-Business’
has became the core of the new business developments at the communication service
operators in Korea.
• With the high usage fee of the mobile data services based on the current mobile
communications system and small screen of handsets, there is a great deal of limitations in
providing wireless broadband internet services. Existing WLAN service using the ISM
bandwidth has difficulties in providing public services due to frequency interruption and low
coverage. Therefore, there have been great demands for wireless broadband internet service
that can offer a higher speed, lower fee, portability, and mobility.

Introduction
• Behind the success of the Korean communication industry stand the government, especially the
Ministry of Information and Communication (MIC) and the customers who are willing to pay for
new services and handsets. The government sets concrete targets and master plans to
strengthen the national competitiveness, makes advanced investments, grants public funds to
public and private R&D activities, stimulates private companies to make investment, and takes
the role of a project manager. Koreans are hunting for free and lower prices. But at the same
time, they don’t mind paying for faster and new services and goods. Value-added is
appreciated and paid-off.
• This report for TEKES highlights the wireless broadband technology and services on the
horizon, future technologies that enable efficient frequency spectrum use and convergence,
R&D activities, popular contents, terminal technologies and trend, government’s role, and
foreseeable radical changes in Korea. From the benchmark study on the Korean experience
and mega trend, a good insight about where a country in the forefront of the communication
industry is moving toward and also its trials and errors can be earned.

Satellite DMB Terminals
• Success of DMB service leis in releasing popular handsets that will attract mobile
subscribers. As customers are not likely to have two mobile handsets, DMB phone must
have features that attract mobile phone users. According to SK Telecom’s survey, 56.4%
preferred mobile phone type terminal while 24.7% chose PC type terminal, and 12.1%
selected vehicle terminals for the DMB terminal.
• Samsung released the 1st
DMB mobile phone, SCH-B100. The success of commercial
DMB service in time was possible because handset manufacturers were willing to take the
risk in the early stage.
• DMB baseband chip for satellite DMB terminal is supplied by Toshiba, LG Electronics, and
TelAce (a Korean venture start-up).

Challenges of Satellite DMB
• TU does not offer real-time relay of terrestrial broadcasting
service at the moment. Korean TV contents are dominate by 3
terrestrial broadcasting companies – KBS, SBS, and MBC.
70% of Cable TV programs (based on view percentage) are
relay of terrestrial broadcasting companies’ programs.
Therefore, it is a challenge for TU Media to attract them in the
service agreement in order to grab more subscribers.
• Developing mobile phone battery that will last longer to view
DMB service longer. Currently it only lasts about 2 & half
hours when using DMB service consecutively.
• Finding business model for data service through DMB. When
developing data service through DMB, it is essential to have
middleware to integrate with mobile internet and mobile voice
service on the mobile phone.

3G Service in Korea
2 Technical Standards
2 WCDMA operators (SK Telecom and KTF) and 1 CDMA 2000 EVDV operator
(LG Telecom)
WCDMA
• Commercial WCDMA service was launched in December 2003 in Seoul and 7
other metropolitans, according to the obligation of the 3G license.
• As CDMA 2000 EVDO launched in 2002 has the equal or better performance
than WCDMA, WCDMA operators (SK Telecom and KTF) have not been active
in network deployment and service marketing.
• WCDMA R4 subscribers : SKT 4,100 + KTF 300 = 4,400 (as of 09.2005)
CDMA2000 EVDV
As Qualcomm excluded EVDV chip from its roadmap, LG Telecom is unsure about
its CDMA2000 EVDV service schedule. However, recently, LGT announced its
investment in EVDO rA for next year.
HSDPA
• WCDMA R5 version is called HSDPA. MIC and WCDMA operators agreed to
migrate directly to HSDPA.

5.3 Research in Optimizing Frequency Spectrum
Wireless Broadband in Korea / YM Kim/ 15.11.2005 / ©
Optimization of Frequency Spectrum
• MIC is setting out a mid-to-long term operation plan for frequency use
• Frequency Spectrum Policy Advisory Council was formed in March 2005 to discuss
Government’s mid-to-long term frequency policy direction. The Council is
composed of government, industry, academia, and research institutions.
• MIC is working on spectrum management policy that can maximize efficiency in
spectrum use by way of spectrum sharing technologies such as CR (Cognitive
Radio), SDR (Software Defined Radio), and UWB.
Goals Investment Period
(1) Upgrading frequency resource analysis system 8.25 bil KRW 2005-2006
(2) Build Spectrum policy support system
-Build a Portal for Radio Wave management and policy support
-Build a data base for frequency policy
9.75 bil KRW 2007-2008
MIC’s efforts in frequency management system

Research in SDR, CR, and UWB
SDR
• As Korea is going to have various network technologies such as CDMA, WCDMA, CDMA 2000
EVDV, Wibro, and DMB, SDR has become a core technology issue.
• HY-SDR Center of Han Yang University in cooperation with BrOMA Center of Pohang
Technology University have been working on SDR technology. In May 2005, HY-SDR Center
introduced a new base station that supports both Wibro and WCDMA by way of applying SDR to
smart antenna. HY-SDR Center plans to complete the dual-mode base station technology for
the first time by the end of 2005. Commercial product is expected to come by 2008.
• HY-SDR Center is developing SDR system for base station and SDR applications for terminal in
partnership with SandBridge Technologies of USA and PicoChip of UK. The Center is also
leading international standardization activities in smart antenna base station technology using
SDR.
• HY-SDR Center works on RSP (Reconfigurable Signal Processing), SPS (Signal Processing
Subsystem), Multi-Mode-Multi-Band antenna technology, RF front-end technology, Software
Architecture technology, Terminal Reconfigurable Technology, Security and authentication
technology, Digital IF technology.
• KT is developing the dual-mode base station technology that supports both Wibro and WCDMA.
• ETRI is developing CR and SDR technologies.
• InnoWireless Co., Ltd (www.innowireless.co.kr) of Korea contracted a R&D project with IITA to
develop SDR-based measurement equipment for Wibro.
UWB & CR
- TTA and Korea UWB Forum are working on UWB standardization in order to vitalize the UWB
industry in Korea. UWB is in the very early stage in Korea
- ETRI’s suggestion to MIC on initial adopting CR technology is to introduce CR technology on
the spectrum below UHF 3GHz. Before, adopting CR technology, MIC needs to reform
regulations in a way to reduce the exclusive spectrum usage right (ownership) and allow free
access to spectrum.

(Character, Photo and Moving Image)
• Revenue from simple download of characters and pictures, which was the major income source, declined
rapidly since late 2003 when camera phones were widely distributed.
• Operators are introducing and developing replaceable services such as SKT’s PhotoOn allowing users to
upload/download their own photos on/from the mobile internet.
• Users decorate mobile handset screens with their own photos taken by camera phones. This trend resulted in
the market size reduced since using own photos costs little.

developing 5~7 megapixel products, however, their
main items are still 1.3 and 2 megapixel products.
• Korean companies have strong technology edge in
CMOS image sensor rapidly replacing CCD.
• Subminiature and high-powered camera modules
are considered a most marketable segment due to
the growth of slim camera phone market. Auto focus
(AF) and optical zoom functions are one of latest
focal areas of camera module makes.

10. Opportunities for Finnish Companies
Wireless Broadband in Korea / YM Kim/ 15.11.2005 / ©
Opportunities to be found in well advance
• Korea is moving toward where no other country has been in terms of wireless broadband
service commercialization. Therefore, high-technologies to implement the new service
roadmap are well sought by Korean government and private companies.
• The mega trend in the Korean communications industry is ‘broadband wireless’,
‘convergence’, and ‘multimedia’. Therefore, solutions to implement the three keywords are
where opportunities can be found for Finnish companies.
• To converge different network technologies means needs for handover, smart antenna, and
MIMO technologies. It also requires solutions for efficient use of frequency spectrum such as
UWB, SDR, and CR. Broadband Convergence Network which is the core infrastructure to
implement converged services needs network system such as Edge Router, MSPP
(Multiservice Provisioning Platform), WDM (Wavelength Division Multiplexing) etc. Digital
multimedia services requires stereoscope 3DTV system. Quite a substantial amount of
required technologies for these areas come from foreign companies;
Technology Area Dependency on foreign technology
Edge Router 91%
Stereoscopic 3D TV system 90%
MSPP 85%
WDM 76%
Mobile phone 20~30%
• Other technologies that are dependent on foreign source are chip for IP-DSLAM, RSOA
(Reflective Semiconductor Optical Amplifier) technology, WDM-PON core components, Multi-codec
and control technology
• A comprehensive study on mega projects that Korean government plans for the next 5 or 10
years and their required technologies needs to be carried out in order to identify the
opportunities for Finnish companies. Solution providers in the world know that Korea is
moving toward untried scene of new commercial communications services and has
purchasing power. They are very fast in detecting the future plan and what are sought along
the road. Early detection of opportunities, investment for market entry, joint R&D with Korean
R&D Centers and private companies are essential.

  • 3. Wireless Broadband in Korea / YM Kim/ 15.11.2005 / © 1. Introduction
  • 4. Wireless Broadband in Korea / YM Kim/ 15.11.2005 / © • Korea is the first country in the world that has successfully commercialized the CDMA technology. In the late 2002, Korea was already offering CDMA2000 EVDO service at the speed of 2.4Mbps downstream at the maximum. Satellite Digital Multimedia Service (DMB) that is currently offering mobile TV service was commercially launched in May this year. Terrestrial DMB is coming at the yearend. Wireless broadband internet service, Wibro, is slated for commercial service during Q2 in 2006. 3.5G mobile technology, HSDPA, is expected to be available next year as well. It is eye-popping to watch all these network technologies being deployed, handsets being developed and available, and services being used. It will be even more so when these various networks are integrated and converged, which is now underway in Korea. The keywords that are reflecting the mega trend in the Korean wireless industry - wireless broadband internet, multimedia, and convergence. • From operators’ point of view, mobile subscribers have reached saturation, revenue from pure voice calls has decreased, and competition among operators has never been more fierce. In order to sustain growth, it has been imperative for the operators to find new revenue sources, which are wireless broadband internet and wireless multimedia. To generate revenue from ‘anywhere, anytime, anyone’, these two services need to be seamlessly offered and easily available to customers on ‘any network’ That is why ‘Convergence Business’ or ‘U-Business’ has became the core of the new business developments at the communication service operators in Korea. • With the high usage fee of the mobile data services based on the current mobile communications system and small screen of handsets, there is a great deal of limitations in providing wireless broadband internet services. Existing WLAN service using the ISM bandwidth has difficulties in providing public services due to frequency interruption and low coverage. Therefore, there have been great demands for wireless broadband internet service that can offer a higher speed, lower fee, portability, and mobility. Introduction
  • 5. Wireless Broadband in Korea / YM Kim/ 15.11.2005 / © Introduction • Behind the success of the Korean communication industry stand the government, especially the Ministry of Information and Communication (MIC) and the customers who are willing to pay for new services and handsets. The government sets concrete targets and master plans to strengthen the national competitiveness, makes advanced investments, grants public funds to public and private R&D activities, stimulates private companies to make investment, and takes the role of a project manager. Koreans are hunting for free and lower prices. But at the same time, they don’t mind paying for faster and new services and goods. Value-added is appreciated and paid-off. • This report for TEKES highlights the wireless broadband technology and services on the horizon, future technologies that enable efficient frequency spectrum use and convergence, R&D activities, popular contents, terminal technologies and trend, government’s role, and foreseeable radical changes in Korea. From the benchmark study on the Korean experience and mega trend, a good insight about where a country in the forefront of the communication industry is moving toward and also its trials and errors can be earned. • Exchange rate is 1260 KRW for 1EUR

  • 62. Wireless Broadband in Korea / YM Kim/ 15.11.2005 / © Challenges of Satellite DMB • TU does not offer real-time relay of terrestrial broadcasting service at the moment. Korean TV contents are dominate by 3 terrestrial broadcasting companies – KBS, SBS, and MBC. 70% of Cable TV programs (based on view percentage) are relay of terrestrial broadcasting companies’ programs. Therefore, it is a challenge for TU Media to attract them in the service agreement in order to grab more subscribers. • Developing mobile phone battery that will last longer to view DMB service longer. Currently it only lasts about 2 & half hours when using DMB service consecutively. • Finding business model for data service through DMB. When developing data service through DMB, it is essential to have middleware to integrate with mobile internet and mobile voice service on the mobile phone.

  • 108. Wireless Broadband in Korea / YM Kim/ 15.11.2005 / © Research in SDR, CR, and UWB SDR • As Korea is going to have various network technologies such as CDMA, WCDMA, CDMA 2000 EVDV, Wibro, and DMB, SDR has become a core technology issue. • HY-SDR Center of Han Yang University in cooperation with BrOMA Center of Pohang Technology University have been working on SDR technology. In May 2005, HY-SDR Center introduced a new base station that supports both Wibro and WCDMA by way of applying SDR to smart antenna. HY-SDR Center plans to complete the dual-mode base station technology for the first time by the end of 2005. Commercial product is expected to come by 2008. • HY-SDR Center is developing SDR system for base station and SDR applications for terminal in partnership with SandBridge Technologies of USA and PicoChip of UK. The Center is also leading international standardization activities in smart antenna base station technology using SDR. • HY-SDR Center works on RSP (Reconfigurable Signal Processing), SPS (Signal Processing Subsystem), Multi-Mode-Multi-Band antenna technology, RF front-end technology, Software Architecture technology, Terminal Reconfigurable Technology, Security and authentication technology, Digital IF technology. • KT is developing the dual-mode base station technology that supports both Wibro and WCDMA. • ETRI is developing CR and SDR technologies. • InnoWireless Co., Ltd (www.innowireless.co.kr) of Korea contracted a R&D project with IITA to develop SDR-based measurement equipment for Wibro. UWB & CR - TTA and Korea UWB Forum are working on UWB standardization in order to vitalize the UWB industry in Korea. UWB is in the very early stage in Korea - ETRI’s suggestion to MIC on initial adopting CR technology is to introduce CR technology on the spectrum below UHF 3GHz. Before, adopting CR technology, MIC needs to reform regulations in a way to reduce the exclusive spectrum usage right (ownership) and allow free access to spectrum.

  • 153. Wireless Broadband in Korea / YM Kim/ 15.11.2005 / © Opportunities to be found in well advance • Korea is moving toward where no other country has been in terms of wireless broadband service commercialization. Therefore, high-technologies to implement the new service roadmap are well sought by Korean government and private companies. • The mega trend in the Korean communications industry is ‘broadband wireless’, ‘convergence’, and ‘multimedia’. Therefore, solutions to implement the three keywords are where opportunities can be found for Finnish companies. • To converge different network technologies means needs for handover, smart antenna, and MIMO technologies. It also requires solutions for efficient use of frequency spectrum such as UWB, SDR, and CR. Broadband Convergence Network which is the core infrastructure to implement converged services needs network system such as Edge Router, MSPP (Multiservice Provisioning Platform), WDM (Wavelength Division Multiplexing) etc. Digital multimedia services requires stereoscope 3DTV system. Quite a substantial amount of required technologies for these areas come from foreign companies; Technology Area Dependency on foreign technology Edge Router 91% Stereoscopic 3D TV system 90% MSPP 85% WDM 76% Mobile phone 20~30% • Other technologies that are dependent on foreign source are chip for IP-DSLAM, RSOA (Reflective Semiconductor Optical Amplifier) technology, WDM-PON core components, Multi-codec and control technology • A comprehensive study on mega projects that Korean government plans for the next 5 or 10 years and their required technologies needs to be carried out in order to identify the opportunities for Finnish companies. Solution providers in the world know that Korea is moving toward untried scene of new commercial communications services and has purchasing power. They are very fast in detecting the future plan and what are sought along the road. Early detection of opportunities, investment for market entry, joint R&D with Korean R&D Centers and private companies are essential.

  15. Although KT has its subsidiary ‘KTF’ that is a mobile operator, KT itself dose not have a mobile business other than WLAN business. In order to cope with the convergence era, KT has been eager to enter the mobile business. Wibro is seen as a means to give a mobile wing to KT, which is why KT considers it an essential for its future business.
  16. SKT plans to adopt IPv6 over Wibro, but investment on that will start from 2006, aiming to achieve 30Mbps in the beginning – 50Mbps by 2008 – 100Mbps by 2010.
  17. It takes 40 seconds to send 1MB MM over the mobile NW while it takes only 8 seconds over Wibro. To download a 4MB (1 packet=50byte) MP3 over the current mobile NW, it costs 120000KRW (100 EUR). SKT sees HSDPA more important than Wibro as ;HSDPA is easier to realize mobile TPS, cheaper for NW investment, and users prefer a mobile phone type terminal. Mobile phone type terminal is preferred. Due to price and mobility, users are not likely to buy two handsets for similar services. HSDPA can offer nationwide voice and data services, and therefore is likely to be preferred by users. Once selected, a handset has a lock-in effect.
