VNPT also deploys the new generation optical network technology XGSPON, allowing users in supported areas to experience symmetrical speeds of up to 10Gbps, both download and upload.

SpaceX is preparing to set up a business in Vietnam

Nguyen Anh Cuong, Deputy Director of the Telecommunications Department under the Ministry of Science and Technology, said the Prime Minister has approved a pilot satellite internet service for SpaceX, a 100% foreign-owned company. According to regulations, SpaceX will need to complete procedures for establishing a business and investment project with the Ministry of Finance .

After completing these steps, the company will need to apply for a license to provide telecommunications services. Currently, the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Science and Technology are supporting SpaceX in carrying out the necessary procedures.

Previously, SpaceX, the famous space company founded by billionaire Elon Musk, announced a plan to invest 1.5 billion USD in Vietnam. This investment is to deploy the Starlink satellite Internet service, promising to bring broadband Internet connection to all regions in Vietnam, especially difficult areas, borders and islands where traditional Internet infrastructure is limited.

The deployment of Starlink service is expected to accelerate digital transformation and narrow the digital divide in Vietnam. However, to achieve optimal efficiency, there needs to be close cooperation between SpaceX and domestic telecommunications enterprises, along with strong investment in infrastructure and supply chains. This cooperation not only benefits the people but also contributes to raising Vietnam's technological position on the world map.
