KT Corp., Korea's top fixed-line operator and internet service provider, said Sunday it has launched wireless Internet network service in Rwanda, according to the Yonhap News.
The communications network service for Internet access, dubbed "WiBro," cost $7.7 million to build and links major government agencies in the capital city of Kigali, the KT noted.
KT said it hopes the service, which was launched last week in the African nation, will serve as a stepping-stone in the company's bid to further tap the African market.
Korea's No. 1 electronics company, Samsung Electronics Co., and seven other companies joined the project, said KT, which won the deal last year.
WiBro, one of the world's major third-generation wireless Internet standards, is a homegrown wireless Internet access technology developed by KT that enables broadband-like Web connectivity even when a user is in motion. The technology competes with Intel Corp.'s WiMax. |
