Samsung Launches New 3G Wireless System Products

Samsung Telecommunications announced at the Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association's (CTIA) trade show three new wireless systems products for the North American market designed to drive value-added services for CDMA carriers, which result in increased average revenue per user while lowering expenses.

Samsung's proven performance in network hardware, software and handsets underscores the innovation and efficiency of this new line of products, which include the SCBS-400S5 Pico Base Transceiver Station, InfoMobile 3GS and InfoMobile @Cell.

Inset is the InfoMobile 3GS detailed below.

"We work closely with carriers throughout the world to deploy wireless
infrastructure that increases revenue with high-speed wireless data," said J.
Neal Smith, senior director of wireless systems for Samsung Telecommunications
America. "Because of our history of innovation and of pioneering wireless
standards, our customers are confident in our understanding of their needs
from an infrastructure, consumer and financial perspective."

Samsung was the world's first equipment manufacturer to launch a CDMA2000
1X system in 2000. In 2001, the company provided its Base Transceiver
Stations and Base Station Controllers to help launch Sprint PCS' first 3G
deployment, which the carrier continues to expand throughout North America.
Samsung followed these milestones in 2002 with the commercial deployment of
equipment that supports 1xEV-DO networks across Korea and Japan.
With these new products carriers can offer 3G-enabled services such as
multimedia messaging, video on demand, videoconferencing and MP3 downloads to
drive average revenue per user.
"Wireless operators need to have the confidence that the new equipment
will overlay with their current infrastructure and immediately produce
measurable results," said Smith. "That is exactly what Samsung's products
offer."
Samsung offers a complete 3G CDMA Base Station Subsystem, including Base
Transceiver Station, Base Station Controller and Base Station Manager.

The company's new products include:

SCBS-400S5 -- Samsung Pico Base Transceiver Station (BTS)
Samsung's Pico BTS offers flexibility for wireless operators to meet
current call capacity and radio coverage demands while expanding capabilities
for future consumer needs as well. The multicarrier Pico BTS is designed
specifically for highway and in-building applications and supports more than
320 channel elements with a compact, easy-to-install size. By leveraging a
high-speed ATM backbone, this product virtually eliminates traffic delays.

InfoMobile 3GS
Samsung's InfoMobile solution integrates wired and wireless technologies
allowing users to receive calls from any location as well as access high-speed
data services. Incoming calls are automatically routed from the wireline
phone to the wireless phone. This eliminates phone tag and increases
productivity allowing employees to respond to customer calls regardless of
location. InfoMobile offers the convenience of one terminal for both public
and private calls, and the system has been deployed at over 60 sites in South
Korea such as Daewoo Shipbuilding, Shilla Hotel, Medical Center, KAIST
(University) and SKT with significant cost savings and efficiencies.

InfoMobile @Cell
Samsung's InfoMobile @Cell offers secure high-speed wireless data for in-
building, campus or Hot Spot areas that seamlessly integrates with the
existing infrastructure to ensure accurate billing and authentication. With
speeds up to 2.4Mbps, remote radio access units eliminate "dead" spots
throughout a facility and offers secure service via a dedicated frequency.
With uncertainties regarding the security of the Wi-Fi standard, users are
assured a private, secure transmission via InfoMobile @Cell.
