Wimax to come to Hanoi, HCM City

The Vietnam Post and Telecommunications Group (VNPT) has signed a contract to provide Wimax services in Hanoi and HCM City, said Nguyen Chau Son, Vice Head of VNPT’s Telecommunications Department.

After successfully testing Wimax technology in the northern province of Lao Cai, VNPT plans to provide Wimax service in the two biggest cities of Vietnam, Hanoi and HCM City, this year.

The group has applied for a licence from the Ministry of Information and Communications to test 2.5 Mhz and 802.16e technology.

According to Mr. Son, the biggest difficulty when using Wimax is it needs to be accompanied by content services, for example Game, televoting, traing, online health education. VNPT has assigned the Vietnam Data Communications Company (VDC) and the Vietnam Software and Media Company (VASC) to implement content services. However, in the future, content services for Wimax will be assigned to only one company.

Wimax, which stands for Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access, provides fixed, nomadic, portable and mobile wireless broadband connectivity without the need for direct line-of-sight to a base station. Mobile Wimax network deployments are expected to provide up to 15Mbps of capacity within a typical cell radius deployment of up to three kilometres.
