On February 23, the Ministry of Information and Communications (MIC) held a conference to "Announce the information and communications infrastructure planning for the 2021-2030 period, with a vision to 2050".
According to the assessment of the Ministry of Information and Communications , currently, the level of information and communication infrastructure is higher than that of developed countries with high income and low prices. Although it is a developing country with low average income, Vietnam has higher 4G coverage than developed countries with high income.
4G coverage in Vietnam is 99.8%, high-income countries have coverage of 99.4%. This is an effort of the information and communication industry in the process of popularizing telecommunications infrastructure, especially radio and computer programs for children to ensure online learning and working. This rate was previously 97%.
Of the 7.3 billion people in the world using phones, the rate of smartphones is 63%, while in Vietnam, this figure is more than 84%. This is an effort of the information and communications industry towards the goal of 100% of users having smartphones by the end of 2024.
Fiber optic coverage to each household is nearly 80% compared to the world average of about 60%. This result aims to achieve the goal of comprehensive digital transformation for the entire population, leaving no one behind in the digital transformation process.
Data fees in Vietnam are kept low, only half the world average. Thanks to that, everyone has the opportunity to use the Internet and access digital space.
The old generation IPv4 address space is gradually depleted, not enough for users and even less for the development of the digital economy. Countries around the world are accelerating the transition to the new generation IP.
To date, Vietnam's IPv6 new generation Internet address usage rate ranks 2nd in ASEAN and 9th globally, above even major powers such as China, the US and Canada. This gives Vietnam the foundation and potential to accelerate IoT development and promote the digital economy.
Vietnam sets high goals in developing information and communication infrastructure, creating infrastructure for the development of digital government, digital economy, and digital society. Information and communication infrastructure is a unified whole based on the connection between postal network, digital infrastructure, information technology industry infrastructure, national digital transformation platforms, and the system to ensure network information security and network security.
Notably, in terms of digital infrastructure, by 2025, the fixed broadband network will ensure that 100% of households have access to fiber optic cable when needed, with 90% of users having access to fixed Internet, with an average speed of 200 Mb/s; 90% of socio-economic organizations such as enterprises, production and business establishments, schools, hospitals, and offices in urban areas can access the Internet with an average speed of 01 Gb/s; Mobile broadband network with an average download speed of at least 40 Mb/s for 4G networks and 100 Mb/s for 5G networks; 100% of the adult population will have smartphones; 100% of high-tech parks, concentrated information technology parks, research, development, and innovation centers will have access to the Internet with a minimum speed of 1Gb/s; 100% of Party and State agencies from the central to communal levels are connected to the specialized data transmission network serving Party and State agencies; 100% of essential infrastructure such as transportation, energy, electricity, water, and urban areas are capable of integrating sensors and IoT applications; 100% of Government agencies use cloud computing ecosystems to serve digital government; 70% of Vietnamese enterprises use cloud computing services provided by domestic enterprises; Implement and invest in 2-4 more international telecommunication cable lines; Form and deploy national data centers, at least 03 national multi-purpose data center clusters, regional multi-purpose data center clusters and 1-2 regional data centers to serve the needs of Vietnamese financial centers and for the region and internationally.
By 2030, the fixed broadband access network infrastructure will be invested and upgraded to ensure that 100% of users have access to speeds above 1Gb/s; 5G mobile broadband network covers 99% of the population, aiming to develop the next generation of advanced mobile networks; Develop 4-6 more international submarine optical cable lines; 100% of state agencies, state-owned enterprises and over 50% of people use cloud computing services provided by domestic enterprises; Develop large-scale data center clusters according to green standards, connect and share to form a network of data center clusters to promote the big data industry, including forming at least 3 national data center clusters according to the provisions of Resolution No. 175/NQ-CP dated October 30, 2023 of the Government on approving the National Data Center Project.
The above goals aim to realize the orientation that digital infrastructure must be built and developed so that every organization, business, citizen, and household has a broadband Internet connection and can use modern and secure cloud computing storage services provided and owned by domestic enterprises. In addition, the deployment and investment in additional international submarine optical cables will diversify connection directions, balance the load for currently used submarine telecommunications cables, ensure network safety, optimize service quality, and move towards acting as an intermediary for Internet traffic for countries in the region. The planning of data center infrastructure for cloud computing ensures availability and the ability to meet the scale of the cloud computing market, reaching 1% of Vietnam's GDP by 2050.
