VivaCell-MTS’ 4G/LTE network offers downlink and uplink peak data rates up to 150 Mbp/s and 50 Mbp/s respectively. The actual speed provided by the 4G/LTE network is approximately 10 times higher than that of any currently operating 3G networks. Initially, 4G/LTE will cover the center of Yerevan, with further expansion to Gyumri and Vanadzor and other regional centers of Armenia.
