AAI created an ASIC design that was instrumental in helping Samsung to launch the first-ever cell phones and personal digital assistants supporting WiBro technology. WiBro provides wireless broadband on the go, offering access at speeds of up to 30 megabits per second. These communications products were introduced at the 2005 APEC summit in Korea. The APEC summit is a premier forum for facilitating economic growth, cooperation, trade and investment in the Asia-Pacific region. It is attended by political and economic leaders from numerous countries.
