U Mobile, Edotco sign deal to speed up rollout of second 5G network

Telekom Indonesia’s telecoms infrastructure subsidiary Mitratel says it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with high altitude platform station (HAPS) firm AALTO to look into providing commercial HAPS solutions in Indonesia.

Vietnam’s Ministry of Information and Communications (MIC) has reportedly opened its long-waited 5G spectrum auction to all players, starting with the 2500-2600 MHz band, with more bands to follow in the coming days.
