(InfoWorld) - Samsung Electronics this week will demonstrate a version of WiMax that can transport data at double the speed of current systems at theÂ 3GSM trade showÂ in Barcelona, Spain, it said Monday. The "Mobile WiMax Wave 2" system uses MIMO (multiple input multiple output) technology and smart antennas to realize speeds of around 34MbpsÂ downstream from the network to the user and about 8Mbps in the opposite direction, the company said in a statement. MIMO involves sending data using multiple antennas to increase the total data throughput. At those speeds it's possible to download an MP3 music file in about one second and a full CD of data in less than three minutes, said Samsung. A commercial service based on the technology on show in Barcelona isÂ planned by Sprint NextelÂ in the U.S. later this year. The carrier will use Mobile WiMax to supplement its 3G (third-generation) cellular service and plans to reach 100 million U.S. residents with the new network by the end of 2008. Before that service can be utilized terminals compatible with the network are needed. At 3GSM Samsung will also be showing a chip set compatible with the technology that can be integrated into devices. Competitors have also been showing similar chips recently. On Monday NXP Semiconductors and Israel's Runcom Technologies said they also plan to offer a chip set compatible with the Wave 2 system.

(InfoWorld) - LG Electronics unveiled several cellphones on Wednesday that support HSDPA (high-speed downlink packet access) wireless data connections. The phones, displayed at the SEK exhibition in Seoul, attracted a steady flow of visitors, all of whom seemed eager to try out the handsets. HSDPA is being deployed on WCDMA (wideband code division multiple access) networks, of which there are two in South Korea. The version of the technology in use in the country allows a maximum theoretical download of 3.6Mbps,Â although actual speeds are likely to be slower. The LG-KH1400 marries the HSDPA networking with reception of digital mobile television. The phone's display can be twisted into a horizontal orientation so TV programs can be better enjoyed and there's also a video output socket so an even bigger screen can be fed with the picture. The handset also has a 2-megapixel camera. Alongside it in the LG Electronics booth sat the LG-SH130. This handset is a more basic slider model that brings fast data and global roaming without all the bells and whistles of the other phone. Global roaming is still a fairly new concept to most South Koreans due to the reliance of all cellphone carriers on CDMA (code division multiple access), which is only used in a handful of countries, so the ability to use a single phone worldwide is still something of a novelty. Samsung Electronics was showing a global-roaming WCDMA phone, the SPH-M6200, that didn't offer fast networking. The Windows Mobile 5.0-based phone packs tri-band GSM (global system for mobile communications) with WCDMA and offers 802.11b/g Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 2.0. Under the 2.3-inch, QVGA (240 pixels by 320 pixels) resolution screen is a QWERTY keyboard. The phone also includes a browser for the conventional Internet and a 1.3-megapixel camera.

Samsung Electronics will update its mobile processor lineup with a new chip that combines a 667MHz processor core with hardware acceleration for multimedia, including 3D graphics and video, the company said Sunday.The S3C6410 mobile processor is made using a 65-nanometer process and is designed for use in smart phones and navigation devices. To be shown at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona this week, samples of the new chip will be available to device makers in May with volume shipments planned to begin during the third quarter.The S3C6410 combines a 667MHz Arm processor core with a hardware video accelerator that supports multiple video formats, including MPEG4 and H.264. The chip, which supports a variety of smart phone operating systems, including Symbian, Windows Mobile and Linux, can capture and replay video using less power than would otherwise be possible, thereby extending battery life, Samsung said.The chip has also been designed to work with a variety of memory types, including DRAM and flash memory, which should give device makers more flexibility when designing future products, the chip maker said.Pricing for the S3C6410 was not disclosed.

Samsung Electronics will present the latest model in its popular&#160;Ultra edition range of cell phones&#160;at the Mobile World Congress exhibition in Barcelona next week.The phone, dubbed &quot;Soul,&quot; is a slider-type handset that with an eye-catching touch panel under the display. The panel displays navigation icons that change according to the current application being run on the handset. For example, in camera mode icons such as zoom and brightness appear while music player functions appear in music mode.The quad-band GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) handset supports data downloads of up to 7.2Mbps&#160;over HSDPA (High Speed Downlink Packet Access) networks and also has Bluetooth 2.0 wireless networking.Other features include a 5-megapixel camera with face detection and image stabilizer, FM radio with RDS (Radio Data System) and a music system based on technology from Bang &amp; Olufsen.The phone will be available worldwide and hit Europe in April.Samsung&#39;s Ultra line has proved a hit with style-conscious consumers. All phones in the range emphasize thinness and the new Soul handset is no different at 12.9 millimeters thick. But it&#39;s nowhere near as slim as the Ultra 5.9 handset that Samsung unveiled this time last year in Barcelona. The candy bar phone, as the name suggests, is just 5.9 millimeters thick.
