POSDATA Expands Its Global Footprint of Mobile WiMAX Into Central Asia

Sun Jun 15, 2008 11:05pm EDT
SEOUL, South Korea--(Business Wire)--
POSDATA Co., Ltd. (KOSDAQ:022100), the global Mobile WiMAX
solution provider in the brand name of FLYVO, announced today that
they have been selected to supply its Mobile WiMAX equipment to
Super-iMAX, a telecommunication provider in Uzbekistan. Despite fierce
competition with other vendors, POSDATA demonstrated its systems
reliability and high performance capabilities and was successful in
winning the bid.

   Last October, KT Corporation acquired Super-iMAX to launch
wireless internet and broadband services with 2.3GHz spectrum in the
Uzbekistan region. Super-iMAX will begin offering Mobile WiMAX
services in September 2008 and aims to expand their services
nationwide.

   POSDATA will provide Mobile WiMAX base stations, ASN-gateways,
network management systems, as well as terminals for service
subscribers. The system is based on 2.3GHz profile 1B and includes the
latest Wave 2 technology, which supports Multiple-Input and
Multiple-Output (MIMO) technology.

   The deployment of the newly developed Mobile WiMAX network in
Uzbekistan is a collaborative effort between POSDATA and KT
Corporation. This collaboration is a significant milestone for both
companies.

   In Central Asia, especially Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan, there are
abundance of natural resources and high demand for IT infrastructure.
Not only is this a great opportunity to spread the technology, but it
will be a useful reference for other markets.

   "We are very excited about this win in Uzbekistan, it means a lot
to us," said Mr. Byung-Chang Yoo, CEO of POSDATA. He added that
"POSDATA is entering the Central Asian markets for the first time and
this reinforces our position as a global leader in Mobile WiMAX
technology."
