Resolution 57 of the Politburo sets the goal that by 2030, Vietnam will have advanced, modern digital technology infrastructure, super-large capacity, super-wide bandwidth on par with advanced countries, and a 5G mobile broadband network covering the whole country.

Resolution 193 of the National Assembly mentions financial support for businesses to quickly deploy 5G. Accordingly, telecommunications businesses that quickly deploy 5G infrastructure and have at least 20,000 transmission stations accepted and put into use from the effective date of the Resolution on February 19 to December 31 will be supported with 15% of the equipment costs for the stations.

In October 2024, Viettel launched the first and largest 5G network in Vietnam with 6,500 transmission stations, ensuring outdoor coverage of over 90% of the capital areas of 63 provinces and cities, industrial parks, schools, airports, seaports, etc. At the same time, it said that it has plans to expand coverage to district centers, where there are many residents in 2025 and launch some more features and products in the 5G ecosystem such as: AR/VR, SmartCall, YouTube Premium, etc.

In December 2024, Vinaphone also announced the commercialization of 5G, operating on the 3,700 - 3,800 MHz frequency band. At the end of March 2025, Mobifone officially announced the provision of commercial 5G services in Vietnam. In the first phase, MobiFone's 5G network will be deployed in central areas of major provinces and cities.

Thus, most network operators have officially deployed 5G to realize nationwide 5G coverage according to Resolution 57 of the Politburo. The strong increase in 5G demand from users poses many prospects for explosive 5G development in Vietnam./.
