pdogg Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Mobile internet speeds in Cambodia are ratcheting up a notch. Smart Mobile, the country’s second largest operator by subscribers, is making 4G LTE internet available to customers this week, the company announced yesterday during the launch of the service at NagaWorld Casino. Thomas Hundt, CEO of Smart, said 4G LTE access is now operational in six “Experience Zones”, including NagaWorld, Sovanna Shopping Centre, Ratana Plaza Shopping Mall, De Castle Toul Kork, Phnom Penh’s airport and the firm’s Boeung Trabek store. People wishing to access the network, which promises mobile internet speeds up to 10 times faster than 3G-capable devices, will need to swap their existing SIM card with Smart’s new 4G LTE SIMs. Hundt said that in order to use the network, new Smart subscribers must either already have a 4G-capable device or purchase one at a local branch, which offers models starting at $150. A basic plan goes for $5 per for 1 gigabyte of data. Use all the data before the month is up and the telco offers a pay-as-you-use system, which will charge at the rate of 500 kilobytes per US cent. While the announced 4G LTE footprint is restricted to only a few locations, Hundt said the company plans to expand the network to Sorya Shopping Centre, Phnom Penh Tower, Vattanac tower and Siem Reap International Airport by March. By June, he said, the network will be available in nearly all of downtown Phnom Penh. http://englishnews.thaipbs.or.th/4g-network-launched-cambodia/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
