Star Telecom’s Deputy General Director Kongphet Nhongvongsitthi said the 4G system covers major Lao cities and provinces including Vientiane, Savannakhet, Luang Prabang and Champasak with plans to expand to include many other localities.

With higher speed, estimated at 10 times faster than the existing 3G technology, Star Telecom’s 4G service is expected to provide abundant added value for its customers such as high definition online television and high speed internet surfing.

According to Nhongvongsitthi, the company is the first internet provider in Laos to develop six pre- and post-paid packages.
