Viettel is about to complete 30,000 5G stations nationwide

The Military Industry and Telecommunications Group (Viettel) has just announced that it has installed 20,000 new 5G stations in 2025, more than 3 weeks ahead of the plan committed to the Government.

In early 2025, the National Assembly issued Resolution No. 193/2025/QH15 (dated February 19, 2025) on piloting a number of special mechanisms and policies, creating breakthroughs in science , technology, innovation and national digital transformation development.

According to detailed instructions in Decree No. 88/2025/ND-CP of the Government , the State will support businesses to deploy 5G network infrastructure nationwide if at least 20,000 5G transmission stations are accepted and put into use from February 19 to December 31, 2025.

This is a special policy, aiming to create a breakthrough in national digital transformation, realizing the goal of advanced and modern digital technology infrastructure, 5G coverage nationwide by 2030 according to Resolution 57-NQ/TW (dated December 22, 2024) of the Politburo on breakthroughs in science and technology development, innovation and national digital transformation.

With the number of newly deployed stations, Viettel owns the largest 5G network in Vietnam today.

Viettel Group's leaders said that from now until the end of December 2025, Viettel will continue to aim to exceed its commitment, installing 23,500 new stations, nearly 4 times the number of stations installed in 2024. With the number of new deployments, Viettel will own the largest 5G network in Vietnam with a cumulative 30,000 stations, 5G coverage to 90% of outdoor areas and 70% of indoor areas nationwide, including both urban and rural areas.

“Resolution 57 of the Politburo, focusing on promoting breakthroughs in science and technology development, innovation and national digital transformation, has created a strong driving force for Viettel. Viettel recognizes its responsibility and concentrates all resources to deploy 5G network infrastructure as soon as possible, which is the technological foundation to serve the Government, businesses and people in effective digital transformation,” affirmed Lieutenant General Tao Duc Thang, Chairman and General Director of Viettel Group.

By the end of 2025, with 30,000 stations, Viettel will cover 5G to 90% of outdoor areas and 70% of indoor areas nationwide.

Not only does it have a large coverage area, Viettel's 5G network has a superior advantage in modern technology. Viettel is the only enterprise to deploy a 5G SA (standalone) network, which is a complete 5G network, with all core network components and radio transmitters belonging to the 5G network generation, capable of reaching speeds of up to 10 Gbps. In actual use, 5G speeds are 15 to 20 times higher than 4G.

Some “exclusive” applications of 5G SA include: enabling private network configuration for each customer group according to needs, customers requiring ultra-low latency, private networks with high security capabilities for security and defense; telemedicine taking advantage of ultra-low latency <1ms and high reliability (99.99%); smart cities and smart factories connecting millions of IoT devices within one km² to operate sensors, real-time monitoring and automation.

Viettel has also integrated its self-researched and produced 5G ecosystem into the national infrastructure on a large scale, including 5G gNodeB broadcasting stations, 5GC core network systems and vOCS 4.0 billing systems. This has contributed to the total number of 5G stations exceeding the set commitment, while affirming the high-tech capabilities that Viettel has invested in research over the past many years.
