Samsung announced that the
Samsung Mondi, Mobile WiMAX-enabled handheld
device, is now commercially available in the Dallas/Fort Worth area.
The Samsung Mondi can harness upload and download speeds that double
comparable devices running on 3G networks while taking advantage of the
widespread connectivity of Mobile WiMAX. The Mondi is also equipped with
WiFi, allowing users to keep strong wireless connections while working
outside designated Mobile WiMAX markets.
Available in a solid black finish, this device slides open horizontally
to reveal a full QWERTY keyboard. The Mondi is packed with multimedia
features that offer instant access to E-mail, Internet, video content
and business applications. The device also supports various services
including Fring, Gypsii, and Windows Live Messenger. The Mondi is
equipped for GPS Navigation through Route 66, providing turn-by-turn
directions.
The Mondi's compact design provides the user with a more mobile form
factor and ease-of-use than the typical laptop or netbook. While it is
small enough to fit into the user's hand or pocket, the Mondi packs an
impressive Web browser, powered by Opera 9.5, which takes full advantage
of the device's 4.3-inch touch screen.
The Mondi is completely customizable, thanks to a set of widgets that
can be dragged and dropped anywhere on the display screen for easy
viewing and use. The Mondi is also an excellent device for work or for
play. WiFi connectivity offers the business user fast and simple
connections to Microsoft Office Outlook Mobile and many other vertical
business applications outside the Clear service area.
In addition to the Dallas and Fort Worth city limits, Samsung network
products currently support Baltimore, the first 4G market launched in
the United States, as well as Philadelphia, the largest Clearwire market
launched to date. In 2010, Samsung network products will power major
markets throughout the United States, including Washington, D.C. and
Boston.
Samsung is the global leader in delivering Mobile WiMAX technologies and
offers an end-to-end solution including chipsets, infrastructure, mobile
devices and consumer electronics. Samsung's devices are capable of
accessing both Mobile WiMAX and other wireless technologies. UQ
Communications in Japan and Scartel LLC., in Russia are examples of
other operators with commercial deployment and plans for national-wide
service using Samsung's Mobile WiMAX total solution.
