Qualcomm and KTF will bring the first Wireless Internet Platform for Interoperability (WIPI) technology to KTF subscribers from LG Electronics. This will make data download possible with fast wireless download speeds.

The launch of this first WIPI 2.0 handset is a big release, as it also deploys its BREW-powered "magic n' Show Downloadpack wireless data service". This brings one of the most efficient data services on the Korean mobile phone market.

"We are pleased that KTF will continue to be able to take advantage of BREW applications through the commercial deployment of WIPI on BREW handsets", said Dong Won Lee, vice president for KTF. This comes as "KTF subscribers have come to expect a level of quality and innovation from our 'magic n' Show Downloadpack service,' and QUALCOMM's BREW solution has played a significant role in setting that high standard", he further declared.

"The adoption of WIPI on BREW phones by KTF and its partners in the Korean wireless community is an exciting testament to what is possible with mobile data services", said Arvin Chander, vice president of global carrier relations, QUALCOMM Internet Services. Moreover, worldwide developers now have the chance of exporting their applications to the Korean market.

LG will support WIPI 2.0 with its KH1400 phone model. This handset also comes equipped with an LCD monitor and a 2 megapixel camera. Moreover, it offers Bluetooth connectivity and a highly professional look. The HSDPA is also responsible for the fast connection speeds and reliable media downloads.

Qualcomm is one of the leading companies when it comes to developing and providing digital wireless communication products based on CDMA technologies. BREW solutions help people receive wireless data services at best performances. They also offer lower capital investments for companies that provide mobile products and services. Customers can also benefit from customer-differentiated wireless data performances.
