Online Reporters
VIENTIANE - The Lao Telecommunications Company (LTC), the national telecom provider, is set to launch its 4th generation (4G) mobile service next month.
The national telecom provider of Laos announced that it will introduce the 4G technology for use at the 9th Asia-Europe Meeting Summit, to be held in Vientiane on Nov 5 and 6, 2012.
Laos will become second among the 10 Asean member countries after Singapore to use 4G.
Customers in provinces outside of the capital will get 4G at the end of this year or early next year.
The 4G network can offer download speeds of up to 100Mbps, making it five times faster than 3G.
Summit guests will be able to make video calls through internet systems such as skype.
China-based Huawei Technology Company is installing 20 4G mobile stations in Vientiane.
Thailand has yet to launch a proper 3G service, more than a decade after it was first introduced in Japan, because oflegal and business disputes. So far, Thai mobile operators have limited 3G using upgraded 2G technology.
The auction of 3G licences held by the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) kicked off earlier this month. However, the road to 3G might face more setbacks as investigations have been carried out to see whether the auction results or the NBTC violated any laws
