As the world’s first company to complete the development of technology for all aspects of the 3G wireless service, Samsung is not only leading the 3G revolution, but also setting the standards for digital convergence from its competencies in semiconductor, telecommunications and consumer electronics, all within a single business enterprise.
I. S. Kim, president and CEO of Samsung Asia Pte Ltd., said, "Samsung Electronics has a vision for Asia and Southeast Asia to be the next hotbed for digital convergence. Samsung’s innovative products could make people’s lives richer in color, more exciting and fun."
Samsung Electronics’ innovations were showcased with the introduction of its GPRS and folder phones with true multimedia capabilities. Trade visitors were invited to make free calls from the rows of SGH-T100 mobile phones at CommunicAsia 2002. Three General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) phones – the SGH-S200, SGH-S100 and SGH-Q300 – showcased Samsung’s ability to offer true multimedia.
