doc.: IEEE wng Submission July 11-16, 2004 J.W Lim Slide 5 Public WLAN Service Issue Public Wireless Access Service by Using Wireless LAN –WLAN service provider installs WLAN AP in hot-spots, and provides wireless access service to –Users who have NICs (Network Interface Cards) and wireless terminals (Notebook PC, PDA, etc) –Through subscription, authentication, and charging –Limited Service Coverage of WLAN AP About 100m for Indoor and 300m for Outdoor –Technologies IEEE b now  IEEE g+a, IEEE n in the future Low cost broadband and WLAN productivity High speed data and mobile coverage

doc.: IEEE wng Submission July 11-16, 2004 J.W Lim Slide 6 Public WLAN Service Issue Regulation Aspect –Commercial service using ISM band Authentication and Privacy –Provide secure wireless communication to users –Enable service providers to exclude illicit users Network Planning for AP Installation –No experience for the massive installation of WLAN APs –Limited channels (three non-overlapped channels) RF Interference Issues –Interference between WLAN and other ISM devices –Interference between WLAN channels

doc.: IEEE wng Submission July 11-16, 2004 J.W Lim Slide 7 Example : KT Public WLAN Service Hot spots coverage –13,000 sites available now in Korea (~20% world wide) –About 20,000 Hot Spots accessible by the end of 2004  Hot spots: 12,000  Revenue: $20M  subscribers: 310,  Hot spots: over 20,000  Revenue: $200M  Subscribers: 1,160, Public Wireless LAN Service Market just begins to bloom KT places great stress on NESPOT
