Vietnam and Cambodia have jointly launched a
Superhighway Telecom Network which is expected to improve internet and
telecommunication services in Cambodia and meet customer demands.
State-owned
Viet Nam Telecom International (VTI) and Telecom Cambodia (TC) inaugurated the
260-km link, which connects VTI's POP (Point of Presence) in Phnom Penh to HCM
City, last Friday.
The
superhighway link is expandable to Asia, Europe and North America through an
international submarine cable system and cross-border land cable connections to
China and Laos.
With an
initial capacity design of 10Gbps and a future upgrade plan, the connection is
expected to become a lifeline for transmitting traffic such as voice, video,
data and the internet as well as all other international telecommunication
services.
Speaking
at the launch ceremony, Cambodian Minister of Posts and Telecommunication So
Khun said the link would help Cambodia develop its economy amid the global
integration.
He said
it was important to improve telecommunications and internet service usage in
Cambodia, which would drive the development in many fields of economics, education,
society and administration.
The
minister said the link would be a chance for both VTI and TC to increase the
number of customers, expand business activities and generate more revenue.
The
link would provide customers not only in Cambodia but also in regional
countries like Thailand and Myanmar with a high-speed connection as well as
high quality and cost-effective services, according to So Khun.
The
chairman of Vietnam Posts and Telecommunications, to which the VTI belongs,
Pham Long Tran, said at the launch that the co-operation showed the VTI's
commitment to provide high-quality international telecommunications service to
Cambodia and to improve its role and status in the Southeast Asian telecoms
market.
