Vietnam’s new strategy to cover 99% of population with 5G

This aims to enhance digital connectivity for all citizens and industries

Vietnam’s new digital infrastructure strategy is expected to expand the coverage of its 5G mobile network, further reaching 99% of the country’s population by 2030.

Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Hoa Binh recently signed a decision to approve the country’s Digital Infrastructure Strategy which aims to significantly enhance digital connectivity for all citizens and industries.

Based on the project, the coverage of 5G mobile network is expected to reach all cities, provinces, high-tech zones, research and development centres, industrial parks, stations, ports and international airports by 2025 and 99% of the population by 2030.

The country aims to operate at least two new international undersea fibre optic cables, form AI Data Centres, and develop new data centres that meet international green standards by 2025 whilst putting into operation six new such cables and building Hyperscale Data Centres and Digital Hubs by 2030.

Each citizen is also expected to have one Internet of Things (IoT) connection by 2025 and the figure is expected to increase to four connections in the next five years.

The adoption of digital signatures amongst the Vietnamese adult population is targeted to rise from over 50% to over 70% between 2025 and 2030.

To realise the set goals, the country will enhance investment in telecommunications and internet infrastructure, including fibre optics cables and new-generation wifi, and domestic and international transmission systems, ensuring backup demand and diverse, secure and sustainable connections.
