The above information was shared by Mr. Hoang Ngoc Thuc - Chief Technology Officer (CTO) of Nokia Vietnam at the "Amplify Vietnam" event taking place on June 6.6 in Hanoi. Absent from the mobile device market, Nokia is now better known as a technology and hardware supplier supporting the mobile telecommunications sector in the world as well as in Vietnam.
Thuc said that 5G technology has been commercialized in many countries around the world for the past 5 years and Vietnam also joined this field quite early (from 2020). The CTO assessed that Vietnam has many convenient conditions to deploy 5G when the percentage of smartphone users is more than 80% of active mobile devices, of which over 30% are smartphones with connectivity support. 5G.
Vietnam is in the top 10 countries with the highest smartphone usage rate in the world
However, the commercialization of a new generation of mobile networks has not yet materialized. According to Mr. Thuc, one of the weaknesses of the current Vietnamese market is the relatively low paying ability of subscribers, estimated at 3 USD/subscriber.
“5G has been developing for 5 years, 5G network architectures in terms of technology have been quite completed and deployed in many countries around the world. The 5G deployment process is not only a coverage story, but the operator is also interested in payback and profitability on that infrastructure. Nokia sees in Vietnam today that the biggest problem is the market, users and services, and the technology architecture is not a concern, "said Thuc.
Sharing more about 5G issues in Vietnam, Mr. Rubén M. Flores, General Director of Nokia Vietnam, said: “As the time of commercialization of 5G services approaches, Vietnam is standing on the threshold of a new era. conversion raw. We see the great potential of digitization for the country. Nokia is committed to supporting the Vietnamese ecosystem in capturing and promoting this opportunity across all sectors.”
