Mytel ensures communication after earthquake in Myanmar

NDO - Immediately after the earthquake occurred in Myanmar on March 28, causing serious damage to people and property, Mytel - Viettel's brand in Myanmar - quickly deployed response measures, demonstrating the spirit of commitment and responsibility of Vietnamese people in the host country.

Mobile charging points were organized by Mytel in many areas heavily affected by the earthquake.

Just hours after the earthquake, Mytel launched an emergency support campaign for about 4 million customers in 98 districts (townships) across the country. Each customer in the affected area was promptly supported with 1GB of data, 300 minutes of calls and 300 SMS messages to help people contact their relatives and update information from the government and rescue agencies. Mobile charging points were also organized by Mytel in many heavily affected areas, helping people stay connected during power outages.

In particular, Mytel engineers, technicians and staff worked through the night to ensure the telecommunications network was not interrupted. Dozens of mobile broadcasting stations were deployed, backup equipment was activated to maintain the communication infrastructure, serving rescue work and supporting the community. In addition, Mytel also organized 45 points to support essential items including 10,000 meals for people and will continue to expand in the coming time.

The earthquake forced the Myanmar government to issue an urgent appeal for aid from the international community. In such circumstances, Mytel’s quick and practical actions not only helped to reduce some of the worries of the Myanmar people but also demonstrated the spirit of the Vietnamese people for the international community.
