Samsung Electronics leads Korean companies poised to make a splash at the CeBIT 2006, the world's biggest expo for the IT, telecom, software and services industries, which starts on Thursday in Hanover, Germany.
Altogether 6,200 companies from 76 countries will show off cutting-edge technology and products at the expo. One expected focus of attention will be third-generation W-CDMA DVB-H and HSDPA phones, areas where competition for the market lead is growing fierce as commercial services will become available this year. The CeBIT ends on March 15.
Samsung Electronics will have two stands, one for telecom products and one for other IT, each measuring some 3,000 sq.m. There it will display its 8 GB HDD phone, the world¡¯s first, besides a slim phone, a third-generation mobile phone and a handset wired for mobile TV. It will also show off next-generation mobile communication technology for WiBro (wireless broadband) and HSDPA. In addition, it will exhibit consumer electronics to benefit from special demand created by the impending football World Cup, including an 82-inch LCD TV equipped with LED BLU or a light-emitting diode backlight unit, a 102-inch PDP TV, and receivers for digital multimedia broadcasting or DMB.
LG Electronics¡¯ stall measures about 2,000 sq.m with the theme ¡°Masterpiece & Living¡± to display a by now legendary gilt 71-inch PDP TV besides some 400 more affordable products, including an HSDPA phone and a terrestrial DMB phone.
Pantech¡¯s stand will be small but choice, measuring about 150 sq.m and exhibiting about 70 phones in various areas of multimedia convergence technology. They include a phone for yet another third-generation technology called UMTS or Universal Mobile Telecommunications System, a slim phone, a music phone, and a luxury phone that has already won the iF Design Award.
