Vietnam Datacommunications Com (VDC) and Motorola Inc have signed an agreement to commence a technical and commercial WiMAX trial in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City.
The year-long trial is expected to begin in October 2007. Phase one will cover an urban area in Hanoi and the second phase will cover a similar urban area in Ho Chi Minh City.
It is anticipated that the deployment of Motorola's wi4 WiMAX will allow VDC to reach a wider subscriber base, to fulfill the demand for broadband, and to roll out IP services such as VoIP without the need for wired infrastructure.
