Qualcomm said it will support the planning VN using 2.6 GHz frequency band for LTE and also encouraged to use the 700 MHz band for mobile broadband in the near future.
Radio Frequency Department (MIC) said the 2.6 GHz band is being considered for LTE technology in VN. Meanwhile, the European network of natural selection on 1800 MHz, 800 MHz and even 900 MHz is the frequency band for LTE services. However, John Stefanac, President of Qualcomm Southeast Asia and the Pacific, said, according to Radio rules of the International Telecommunication Union, the allocation and use of spectrum in Europe must be different VN and Asia Pacific. Therefore, the VN can not be planned according to the European band of 800 MHz."Vietnam is planning for LTE band. Qualcomm believes that the allocation of frequency bands 2.6 GHz and 700 MHz for mobile broadband, including LTE is the best way for VN to ensure consumers the ability to connect devices with a range of high-cost affordable. VN Qualcomm always supported the decision to use 2.6 GHz band, while encouraging the use of 700 MHz frequency band for mobile broadband, as well as balance the use of this spectrum band is planned approved by the Community Telecommunications Asia Pacific, "said John Stefanac said
John Stefanac He also said that the balance of the spectrum will help save costs for users and ensure broad connectivity with affordable rates. Using 700 MHz mobile broadband is particularly suitable for providing connectivity and broadband services to rural and remote areas, increasing connectivity across VN.
Qualcomm believes that the development of mobile broadband will stimulate the economy VN. Economic benefits of the development of mobile broadband will help to improve employment, increase labor productivity and GDP growth stimulants. According to Boston research firm, to develop mobile broadband will help increase the GDP of the Asia Pacific added 729 billion by 2020, creating 2 million jobs, adding 131 billion dollars The tax authorities select 700 MHz for mobile and plan to use the frequency band plan telecommunication community the Asia - Pacific.
Qualcomm said its chipset supports all 3GPP frequency band classes, including band 2.6 GHz and 700 MHz. "We now have 2.6 GHz devices are equipped with Qualcomm's chipset and 3G/LTE multi-application support for the 2.6 GHz frequency bands roaming in VN. We are waiting for the rest finished on standardized 3GPP systems APT 700 MHz band in order to develop new products. The 3GPP standardization is expected to be completed on May 3/2012, "said John Stefanac said.
