Vietnam''s 5G Surge: 11,000 New Stations Transforming
Vietnam''s leading mobile operators—Viettel, VNPT, and MobiFone—are accelerating their 5G expansion, deploying a total of 11,000 base stations throughout the country.
While 5G has been available in many Asian markets for some time, users in Vietnam were forced to wait for their first taste of the new technology. The country's three largest mobile network operators (MNOs) were awarded 5G-suitable spectrum in the first half of last year.
According to Nokia, the equipment was manufactured locally. By the network launch on October 15, Viettel claimed to have installed more than 6,500 5G base transceiver stations, covering all 63 provincial capitals, industrial zones, tourist sites, ports, airports, hospitals, and universities.
In addition, a total of 819,000 5G base stations have been built by these three telecom giants, accounting for 70% of the world's total. As China has played a leading role in 5G technology, its 5G development has extraordinary significance for other countries.
Up to now, the whole country has only 11,591 5G BTS stations; 26% of the population has access to 5G services. Network operators plan to speed up the installation of 5G BTS. Photo: VNPT
