T-Mobile Hungary, a wholly owned subsidiary of Magyar Telekom (MTel), has expanded its 4G Long Term Evolution (LTE) coverage to take in the holiday resort of Lake Balaton, giving users access to super-fast mobile broadband internet. The company says LTE is already live in 13 cities on the north shore, including Keszthely, Lake Balaton and Balatonalmadi, and a further 13 on the south coast resort, such as Fonyodon, and Balatonfoldvar. In addition, T-Mobile notes that in recent months it has also connected several other towns and cities to the 4G network, the largest of which are Mosonmagyarovar, Salgotarjan, Gyongyos and Hajduszoboszlo.

In total, 219 localities will have 4G mobile broadband coverage by the end of August, while national outdoor coverage will reach 53.5%.
