5G promotes business digitalization in Vietnam

This is the analysis presented in the November 2024 edition of the Ericsson Mobility Report, with forecasts extending to the end of 2030. In it, the report also stated that mobile network data speeds are expected to nearly triple by the end of 2030 compared to current levels.

The report also found that today’s pioneering service providers are offering differentiated connectivity models that ensure uninterrupted premium connectivity when needed, thereby creating new business and growth opportunities.

5G network will continue to explode in the coming time

Nearly 20% of the approximately 320 CSPs that have commercialized 5G are deploying 5G SA. Increasing the density of 5G SA base stations and expanding mid-band spectrum are seen as key to unlocking the full potential of 5G, including intelligent, programmable network features. Currently, only about 30% of base stations globally are deploying 5G mid-band. It is forecast that nearly 60% of the 6.3 billion global 5G subscriptions by the end of 2030 will be 5G Standalone (SA) subscriptions.

Global mobile data traffic is expected to undergo a major shift, with 5G networks accounting for around 80% of total mobile data traffic by the end of 2030, up from 34% at the end of 2024.

Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) continues to gain popularity globally and has become one of the second largest 5G use cases, after enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB).

In four of the six market regions, more than 80% of CSPs have deployed FWA. The proportion of FWA providers deploying speed-based plans, with downlink and uplink data specifications similar to cable or fiber services, has increased from 30% to 43% over the past year.

In Southeast Asia and Oceania, the number of 5G subscriptions is expected to reach around 680 million by the end of the forecast period. Countries such as Australia, Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand have seen strong growth in 5G subscriptions driven by the expansion of network coverage by operators, increasing consumer awareness of 5G, increasingly affordable 5G devices and promotional strategies from service providers.

In Vietnam, 5G was commercialized in October 2024. Developed 5G markets such as Australia and Singapore continue to leverage advanced 5G capabilities to deliver new services and use cases. Personalized 5G services for businesses are being rolled out in Australia as providers test and launch on-demand connectivity solutions. Mobile data traffic per smartphone in Southeast Asia is expected to increase sharply from 19 GB/month in 2024 to 39 GB/month in 2030.

Rita Mokbel, President and CEO of Ericsson Vietnam, shared: "The launch of 5G services in Vietnam will bring new experiences to users and promote the digitalization of businesses. Vietnam has identified digital transformation as a top priority and a driver of national growth and Ericsson is delighted to accompany the country on this 5G journey through cooperation with strategic partners such as Viettel and VNPT".

The report also addresses the impact of artificial intelligence (AI), including generative AI applications that have been integrated into devices such as smartphones, laptops, watches, and FWA products. AI can impact mobile network traffic both uplink and downlink, driving traffic growth beyond current forecasts.
