Magyar Telekom covers Budapest subway lines with superbly fast 4G network

By covering the subway network with 4 , Telekom successfully fulfills the requirements of the ever increasing data appetite also in the subway. In April the top notch network becomes available to everyone, also under the ground.

As announced by Magyar Telekom earlier, through network developments the company wishes to further increase its high speed internet coverage. Telekom 4G is already available on the red (M2) and blue (M3) subway lines, while the superbly fast network is expected to be available on the yellow (M1) line in April. Obviously, the new line M4 - to be commissioned into use these days – will also be covered, serving customers using smartphones with older generation (2G, 3G) as well as 4G data services.

In January 2012 Telekom - as the first Hungarian mobile operator – launched its 4G/LTE mobile internet commercial service. Currently the service is available outdoor* to 40% of Hungarian residents. By covering the subway lines, Telekom takes another step to make the most up-to-date digital technology available for an even  wider segment of customers.
