Bharti Airtel refarms mid-band spectrum to support 5G growth

Vietnamese telco Viettel announced the nationwide launch of its standalone (SA) 5G service on Tuesday, making it the first operator in the country to do so.

Malaysia-based telecoms infrastructure services company Edotco has formed a strategic collaboration with Telecom Infra Project (TIP) and Telkom University to create a neutral host ecosystem for Southeast Asia by leveraging Open RAN.

Edotco said on Monday its Bangladesh unit has signed a multi-year deal with Grameenphone to extend their existing infrastructure leasing agreement to support the telco’s 4G network expansion into underserved areas.
