Slovak Telekom says it has deployed 256 QAM functionality on its 4G LTE-A network to boost peak speeds to up to 500Mbps, from the previous peak of 375Mbps.
The upgrade has been implemented on two-thirds of the telco’s LTE infrastructure, covering around 30 of the country’s largest cities, including the capital, Bratislava. According to TeleGeography’s GlobalComms Database, Slovak Telekom is the second largest cellular operator in Slovakia by subscribers, with approximately 30% of all users, behind market leader Orange Slovensko with 37%.
