An agreement has been formed for the provision of testing equipment for wireless broadband services, between mobile handset manufacturer Samsung Electronics Co and Sprint Nextel Corp.

Samsung is to provide mobile handsets and networking systems to enable Sprint to test wireless broadband services, known also as WiBro. WiBro, a wireless high-speed data communication service, enables users of mobile devices such as mobile phones and PDAs to access broadband Internet.
