Korea has conducted a test to find out if Wi-Fi can be used as a cost-effective way to deliver multimedia to Wi-Fi devices (portable and in-vehicle) along its highways. The Korean Highway Corporation used a 31-kilometer stretch between Pangyo and Osan to determine whether a Wi-Fi mesh network could achieve continuous 8 Mbps end-to-end connections for streaming video, voice over IP and multimedia applications at speeds reaching 100 km/hour. It appears that KHC was satisfied with the results (using Strix Systems mesh equipment) and has decided to deploy the network on the highway between Seoul and Pusan. They also plan to use it for traffic control and related systems.
