SmarTone-Vodafone bids successfully for 850 MHz spectrum


SmarTone-Vodafone today announced that it has bid successfully at the auction in Hong Kong for 2 x 5 MHz at the 850 MHz frequency band for HK$875 million. This spectrum will be put quickly to use in increasing network capacity and enabling higher speeds for its HSPA+ network.

The new spectrum provides SmarTone-Vodafone the most cost-effective and the quickest way to expand its network capacity. At the 850 MHz frequency band, the lowest frequencies available to mobile operators in Hong Kong, SmarTone-Vodafone will be able to provide even better in-building radio coverage to its customers.
