Revealing the network operator using the 'golden frequency' for 4G and 5G networks

On May 21, Viettel announced that it had officially successfully auctioned the right to use radio frequencies for the B2 - B2' band of the 700MHz band for the next 15 years.

The price Viettel offers is 1,995,613,000,000 VND and is equivalent to the average price in the world .

This is the fourth time Viettel has participated in the 700MHz frequency band auction. Owning this frequency block is of special importance to Viettel because it is the perfect piece to help Viettel expand its coverage to 99% of the population by 2030. With its long-distance transmission and good penetration characteristics, the B2 - B2' frequency block of the 700MHz band not only helps to cover widely and effectively rural areas, mountainous areas, remote areas, and national highways, but is also suitable for bringing telecommunication waves into high-rise buildings and hard-to-reach locations in urban areas.

According to technical research, the coverage radius on this frequency band is 1.8 times larger than that of the 1,800 MHz band, helping Viettel optimize deployment costs many times over, saving thousands of billions compared to using current frequency bands when handling difficult-to-cover areas, while improving and enhancing user experience.

This frequency band is planned by the Ministry of Science and Technology to deploy mobile information systems according to the IMT-Advanced (4G) standard and subsequent versions.

Major General Tao Duc Thang - Chairman and General Director of Viettel Group shared: "Owning the B2 - B2' frequency block of the 700MHz band in this auction is extremely important and timely for Viettel to realize Resolution 57 of the Politburo to build a high-speed, safe, reliable digital infrastructure platform, connecting people, authorities, businesses, accelerating the application of digital technologies in all aspects of social life, from urban to rural areas"./.
