South Korea launched a WiMAX network in the 2nd quarter of 2006. By the end of 2008 there were 350,000 WiMAX subscribers in Korea.
The original IEEE 802.16 standard (now called Fixed WiMAX) was published in 2001. WiMAX adopted some of its technology from WiBro, a service marketed in Korea
Early WirelessMAN standards, the European standard HiperMAN and Korean standard WiBro were harmonized as part of WiMAX and are no longer seen as competition but as complementary. All networks now being deployed in South Korea, the home of the WiBro standard, are now WiMAX

ワイブでは高速の移動中にも超高速モバイルデータ通信が可能なサービスです.
三星電子, ETRI(電子通信研究所), KT など国内主要企業及び研究機関が源泉技術を確保しているし, 国内企業等の技術は去る 2005年 IEEE 802.16e(モバイルワイマックス) 標準に制定されるのに至りました.
がおかげさまで 三星電子は装備及び端末機売り値以外にもワイブで特許技術輸入の 22% 以上を追加で取り入れています.
