KTF tests global webcam calls

htm_2006062619204990009060-001.JPG Mobile communication technology reached new heights with a recent test of international webcam conversations using mobile phones, reports JoongAng Daily.

"KTF tested the call between Korea and Germany by connecting its HSDPA network with Germany's largest mobile communication company T-Mobile's W-CDMA network. The test took place Friday ― the day Korea lost to Switzerland in the World Cup.

... The HSDPA system is a 3.5-generation mobile technology, which is a level higher than third generation W-CDMA. The technology allows high-speed transfers of data, which makes webcam conversations possible."
