April 7, 2010 - TeleGeography: Vietnam’s Ministry of Information and Communications (MIC) has requested input from the country’s telecom providers to design a plan for a 4G frequency band, VietNamNet reports.
Responsibility for the task has been assigned to the Department of Wireless Frequency and Telecommunications, although the MIC will design the plan after input has been collected by the end of this year. Vietnam’s telecoms firms will then be allowed to choose whether to adopt WiMAX or Long Term Evolution (LTE) technology.
According to TeleGeography’s GlobalComms Database, a number of telecoms operators have already carried out WiMAX trials in Vietnam.
