Vietnam’s mobile operators have
prepared good network infrastructure to reduce jamming incidents during
peak hours for the Tet (Lunar New Year) holiday, according to mobile
carriers.
Dinh Viet Hung, chief of Mobifone’s
Marketing and Telecom Charge Department, said that the company had
completed upgrading network infrastructure to avoid congestion caused
by overloads during the season.
MobiFone’s call centre capacity has been upgraded to meet the rising
demand of mobile phone users during this period. The capacity of SMS
and GPRS management systems has also been expanded to meet 300 percent
and 400 percent, respectively, of demand during normal hours.
In addition, MobiFone has also organised a team of information
technology experts to give support 24 hours a day during Tet.
Hoang Trung Hai, deputy director of VinaPhone, said that VinaPhone had
installed 5,000 Basic Transceiver Stations (BTS) using 3G technology as
one solution to avoid jamming over the holidays.
VinaPhone has just completed maintenance on its call centre and
increased its network capacity to accommodate 50 million users,
eventhough it has only 27 million subscribers at the moment. Its SMS
system can also transmit 20 to 30 million SMSs per hour.
Like MobiFone and VinaPhone, the country’s military telecom carrier, Viettel, is also fighting network congestion.
Viettel has been upgrading its call centres to meet the demand of more
than 10 million extra subscribers, so the total capacity can now meet
more than 50 million users.
Viettel also added 2,700 more BTSs, for a total of 23,000 BTSs. It
plans to use 27 mobile BTSs in highly populated areas to meet strong
demands this holiday.
However, Vietnamese mobile operators also advise that customers should
not make calls or send text messages during peak hours to avoid
overloading the systems.
Additionally, customers should turn off delivery reports to reduce burdens for call centres./.
