An agreement to this effect was signed in Ho Chi Minh City on April 9 between Qualcomm, a leading developer and innovator of advanced wireless technology and mobile data solutions, and S-Telecom Mobile Phone Center – the operator of S-Fone network.

Brew technology solution is developed by Qualcomm to make it possible for mobile users to customise their handsets with a wide range of wireless applications, from enjoying music, videos to sending and receiving mails.

S-Fone is the first mobile operator in Vietnam to apply the Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) technology. It plans to develop the Evolution Data Optimized (EVDO) technology and apply the Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) technology in the near future.

Turnover from data services accounted for just 1 percent of total revenues of telecom companies in Vietnam while that of foreign telecommunication providers is more than 20 percent.
