By 2030, the coverage of 5G mobile network is expected to reach all cities, provinces, high-tech zones, research and development centers, industrial parks, stations, ports and international airports by 2025 and 99 percent of the population by 2030.
Such is provided under Decision 1132/QD-TTg dated October 9, approving the digital infrastructure strategy by 2025 with a vision to 2030
Accordingly, it is expected to operate at least two new international undersea fiber optic cables, form AI Data Centers, and develop new data centers that meet international green standards by 2025 while putting into operation six new such cables and building Hyperscale Data Centers and Digital Hubs by 2030.
Additionally, each citizen is to have one Internet of Things (IoT) connection by 2025 and the figure is expected to increase to four connections in the next five years.
The adoption of digital signatures among the Vietnamese adult population is targeted to rise from over 50 percent to over 70 percent between 2025 and 2030.
In order to realize the set goals, the country will enhance investment in telecommunications and internet infrastructure, including fiber optics cables and new-generation wifi, and domestic and international transmission systems, ensuring backup demand and diverse, secure and sustainable connections.
Besides, due attention will be given to expanding 5G network coverage and service quality, carrying out Internet Protocol Version 6 (Ipv6) for the entire Internet network in the nation, developing and attracting investments in data infrastructure.
Vietnam will work to promote the development of physical-digital infrastructure in key areas such as smart transportation, health care, education, factories, agriculture, and tourism to improve the economy’s competitive edge. It will focus on building and promoting the interoperability between IoT devices and networks through middlewares, capitalizing on the strengths of the cloud computing and other advanced technologies to develop industries.
Furthermore, the nation will develop digital platforms to automate socio-economic activities.- (VLLF)
