Vietnam’s market-leading operator has boosted the capacity in its packet core network by 50%. The upgrade to VMS MobiFone’s network was handled by Nokia Siemens Networks, which has also modernised the operator’s GSM and 3G radio networks in southern and central Vietnam as part of a separate contract.

MobiFone is now better placed to handle the data surge on its networks due to growing demand for mobile broadband. Both the upgraded packet core and radio networks are already in commercial use.

“We wanted to modernise our radio network to improve traffic capacity for our existing GSM network and enhance service experience for our GSM and 3G subscribers,” said Nguyen Dang Nguyen, deputy general director at MobiFone. “The high capacity core network will help us serve more subscribers, while the modernised radio network will enable us to offer high-speed data services to our growing number of smartphone subscribers.”

“Rapid adoption of smartphones is driving a mobile internet boom in the Vietnam market, also characterised by growing competition amongst telecom operators,” added Tanat Techatanabaht, country director at Nokia Siemens Networks Vietnam. “These upgrade projects will help MobiFone gain an even stronger foothold in the market, and generate new revenue streams by offering value-added services.”
