The launch of mobile 4G LTE services will supplement Dialog’s 3G HSPA+ high speed mobile internet services, and records a regional first for Sri Lanka, as South Asia’s first mobile FD-LTE service.
Mobile users can now obtain a 4G SIM card from any Dialog Service Centre, and can thereby extend their 3G HSPA+ high speed mobile broadband experience to next generation services within Dialog’s LTE coverage areas. Dialog’s Mobile 4G-LTE coverage will be available in the City of Colombo at launch, and will be expanded to other major cities and towns across Sri Lanka going forward.
Dialog’s 4G Mobile network is based on FD-LTE technology, and will deliver peak data speeds extending to over 50 Mbps on FD-LTE 1800 MHz band 3 compatible mobile devices. Some of the mobile devices that are compatible with Dialog’s LTE network include Samsung Note II LTE – GT-N7105, Samsung SIII – LTE, LG Optimus LTE, Sony Xperia V LTE and the Huawei Ascend P1 LTE.
In addition to LTE compatible smart phones and tablets, the LTE network can be accessed via compatible dongles such as the Huawei E398U. Dialog will market the Huawei E 398U via its service centres at a price of Rs. 16,000, and will expand its device portfolio to include the Huawei E3276S dongle during the course of April 2013.
