Internet service provider (ISP) Emaxx
yesterday said it would scrap its retail operations and invest US148 million in
telecommunications infrastructure with work beginning in October. Representatives
from Emaxx said that they will elevate the company to become Cambodia’s largest wholesale
optic fibre and 4G network supplier.
The company has finalised the purchase of
3,000 kilometres of existing optic fibre network from Cambodia Fibre Optic
Communication Network–a Chinese-owned telecommunications infrastructure
supplier.
The optic fibre network will support the
construction of a nationwide 4G Long-Term Evolution (4GLTE) network with up to
600 base stations scattered around the country. Two US24 million data storage
hubs – one in Vietnam-border town Bavet and another in Phnom Penh – will also
be built. The data centres are expected to be completed by the first quarter of
2015.
Earlier this week, mobile operator Beeline
announced plans to launch a 4G network by the end of the year.
