Chairman of the MobiFone’s member council Le Nam Tra said the establishment of the transmission axis helps the company reduce operation costs and supply customers with services at the most reasonable prices.

The company took this opportunity to announce the outcome of piloting 4G services in Hanoi, Da Nang, and Ho Chi Minh City in May and June, which brings new experience for customers.

Subscribers could enjoy a wide range of services such as LTE Broadcast (eMBMS), LTE Unicast, 4K TV , Robot Vehicle and online games, in high-speed 4G networks.

On the occasion, MobiFone introduced to the public its MobiTV, which marks its entrance in the pay TV business.

The company strives to have one million subscribers of the new TV services in 2016 and become one of the three biggest businesses in pay-TV services in 2020.

It also aims to become a multi-service enterprise based on four cornerstones: telecommunication & information technology, television, distribution & retail, and multi services.
