Hanoi (VNA)- The military-run telecom group Viettel said it expects to put into operation more than 1,000 new-technology base transceiver stations (BTS) in inner Hanoi, whichwill improve the quality of internet services in the city.

According to insiders, Viettel’s new BTSwill replace a series of signal transceivers of 2G, 3G, and 4G networks on signalpoles.

Single-band antenna and signal processing stations will be replaced by modern devicesthat can integrate multi-technology and multi-bandwidth, thus each broadcastingpole will have only three or four devices, down two or three times compared to thenumber of devices previously hanging off poles.

Less equipment will make it easy for Viettel to upgrade and install 5G devices inthe future, without concerns about transmission line overload.

This conversion by Viettel will help double the maximum speed of the 4G networkand the capacity of networks compared to those at present, and make the managementof Viettel’s network database easier.

Dao Xuan Vu, General Director of Viettel Network, said this aims to improve thequality of its services and so bring more benefits to society.

Viettel plans to install new-technology BTS in other localities nationwide nextyear./.
