HÀ NỘI (VNS) — Network provider MobiFone is planning to pilot  四G services next month, according to local media.

The network provider plans to test the service in the three major cities of Hà Nội, Đà Nẵng and HCM City.

The vneconomy.vn quoted a representative of MobiFone as saying that given the heavy mobile phone use in these three cities, building the technical infrastructure would be more complicated.

Before MobiFone, Viettel had implemented  四G services in December last year in the southern province of Bà Rịa-Vũng Tau, with an average speed between  四0 and  八0 Mb/s, though it could reach  二 三0 Mb/s in some spots.

Meanwhile, Vinaphone piloted the technology on Phú Quốc Island and in HCM City in January this year.

Vinaphone also installed  五0 base transceiver stations (BTSs) on Phú Quốc Island and  一00 BTSs in HCM City. — VNS
