Viettel 4G network will officially launch on April 18

(Baonghean.vn) – On April 18, Viettel will officially launch its 4G network with outstanding features, highly anticipated by users, nationwide.

Stepping up to 4G - an inevitable trend

4G is a hot keyword recently and is the technology that most phone users in Vietnam are looking forward to the most. According to information technology experts, currently, there are almost no major barriers to the explosive development of the 4G network in Vietnam in particular and in the global market in general.

According to statistics, in 2015, only 65% ​​of smartphones sold globally were 4G phones, but in 2016 this number increased to 77%.

The increasing demand for mobile data is also making the lower speed 3G service unable to keep up. These changes show that the move to 4G network is inevitable. With a speed 10 times higher than 3G, 4G network can meet the increasing demand of mobile users.

According to information from Viettel network, the 4G speed of this network reached an average of 40-80Mb/s during the testing period in Vung Tau, 7 times higher than the actual average speed of the 3G network.

At some point, Viettel's 4G speed can reach 230Mb/s, close to the ideal theoretical speed (current high-end 4G LTE-A technology can reach download speeds of 300 Mb/s and upload speeds of 150 Mb/s).

4G service promises to dramatically improve user experience with web surfing, watching high-quality movies (Full-HD and 4K) or playing games on mobile networks.

Viettel ready to launch 4G

Up to now, Viettel said that it has completed the infrastructure and network to be ready to provide 4G services. Viettel will provide services to all customers in all provinces and cities across the country right at the time of launching the 4G network. And from now on, customers can experience Viettel's 4G technology at many different locations.

Viettel is ready to welcome the 4G service opening ceremony on April 18.

In addition to developing networks and infrastructure, mobile network operators in Vietnam have implemented 4G SIM upgrade programs. Viettel's 4G SIM exchange program started in 2016 when the network operator tested 4G in Ba Ria-Vung Tau and became a massive campaign since the beginning of 2017.

As of June 30, 2017, customers have up to 1,600 Viettel SIM exchange points nationwide to register and receive free 4G SIM.
