Viettel completes 20,000 new 5G stations
The Military Industry and Telecom Group (Viettel) announced that it has reached the milestone of installing 20,000 new 5G stations this year, more than three weeks ahead of the schedule committed to the Government.
By December 31, 2025, the total cumulative number of Viettel 5G stations nationwide is expected to reach 30,000, covering up to 90% of outdoor areas across the country. With this new deployment, Viettel now owns the largest 5G network in Vietnam. At the beginning of 2025, the National Assembly issued Resolution No. 193/2025 on piloting certain special mechanisms and policies to create breakthroughs in science, technology, innovation, and national digital transformation. According to the guidance in Government Decree No. 88/2025, the state will support enterprises in deploying nationwide 5G infrastructure if they achieve a minimum of 20,000 5G base stations that are accepted and put into operation from February 19 to December 31, 2025. This special policy aims to create a breakthrough in national digital transformation, achieve advanced and modern digital technology infrastructure, and provide nationwide 5G coverage by 2030.
