MVM NET, member of 450 MHz Alliance, commenced its operation in 2012 as a subsidiary of the MVM Group – the Hungarian Electricity Company – as a national telecommunication service provider. MVM NET launched its commercial activity on its LTE mobile network in 2016, which is located in a 5 MHz wide spectrum in Band 31 with approximately 95-96% nationwide geographical coverage.

The main difference, compared to other public mobile operators, is that MVM NET is able to offer plans with guaranteed bandwidth (GBR) and SLA. This feature makes it possible for MVM NET to play a major role in operating governmental services especially in these cases where using other technologies would generate significantly higher costs.

Now MVM NET is running several projects, the mutual point of which is that they are replacing the old-fashioned VSAT technology with their modern LTE 450 solution. Among its multiple advantages we can mention

• Lower latency
• Higher resistance to interference
• Host efficiency

The solution is the so-called “leased-line like solution”, which enables the MVM NET’s LTE 450 network to be used approximately equally to a L2 leased line. In practice it means that GRE tunnels are used between the customer’s HQ and the endpoints, like in the case of

• Registry offices
• Complex Traffic Control Points
• Local police stations

The question may arise that what happens if a cell becomes saturated? MVM NET can arrange the subscriptions in classes of different priority (QCI) with the help of PCRF making it possible for higher priority accounts/clients’ – especially governmental services – data traffic to be prioritized over that of other lower priority clients.
