Korean device maker DIGIFRIENDS has selected to use a WiMax chipset from NextWave to power their new M3 Mobile Internet Device (MID):
The M3 mobile Internet device developed by Digifriends (Seoul) will debut in the second half of 2009 using NextWave's NW2000 WiMax chip set.
Craig Miller, vice president of product management and marketing at NextWave, said the implementation was its first design win in South Korea. "Our WiMax chip set enables the M3 to deliver the high-bandwidth mobile multimedia capabilities you need for video chat," Miller claimed.
Miller also noted that South Korea is at the forefront of WiMax deployment, and claimed its chip design would help Digifriends differentiate its mobile device.
