Hanoi continues to promote infrastructure development for 5G network in the coming years as 5G is an indispensable foundation for the digital economy.

Mobifone, Electricity Vietnam (EVN), and Viettel, three state-owned enterprises (SOEs) that represent three economic sectors of telecommunication, energy and defense industry, are selected to take part in the first stage of the project.

Commercializing 5G by 2021 is a target for Vietnam to implement the national digital transformation.

The commercial pilot will help the telecom carriers assess their technology and the market size before officially providing 5G commercial operations.

The average tax contribution from 30 enterprises in the list is estimated at VND3 – 6 trillion (US$130 – 260 million) per year in the 2015 – 2019 period.

Vietnam strives to be among the top four countries in e-government in ASEAN and the 70 leading countries in e-government in the world by 2025.

In light of the current challenges faced by public hospitals in Vietnam and the Covid-19 pandemic, the digital healthcare sector holds promise, stated Fitch Solutions.

The launch of the contest is expected to boost the implementation of the national digital transformation strategy.

This facility will be used to develop new mobile technologies and provide testing services for Vietnamese partners like VinSmart, BKAV and Viettel.

In June 2020, Vietnam’s four state-owned mobile operators - Viettel, VNPT-Vinaphone, GMobile and MobiFone - agreed to share about 1,200 base transceiver stations (BTS).
