Nokia to deploy first Vietnamese-made 5G solutions in country.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nokia has signed a major new deal with Viettel Group (Viettel) to deploy 5G equipment for the first time nationwide in Vietnam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ambitious project will cover 22 provinces across the country and support Viettel\u2019s strategy of advancing 5G infrastructure and digital transformation. The project will also see Nokia modernize Viettel\u2019s 4G infrastructure and deployment will begin this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Under the deal, Nokia will supply equipment from its industry-leading 5G AirScale portfolio for the first time in Vietnam covering 2,500 sites. This includes Nokia’s next-generation AirScale baseband solutions, Massive MIMO radios and Remote Radio Head products. These are all powered by its energy-efficient ReefShark System-on-Chip technology and combine to provide superior coverage and capacity. It marks the first 5G network in Vietnam where the deployed products have also been locally manufactured – highlighting Nokia\u2019s commitment to the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vietnam\u2019s Ministry of Information and Communications has placed great importance on 5G as a critical national infrastructure that will enable sustained socioeconomic development through science, technology and innovation with Vietnam\u2019s digital economy expected to contribute between 20% and 30% of GDP by 2030.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tao Duc Thang, President & CEO, Viettel Group, said: \u201cThis important project with our long-term partner Nokia will play a critical role in advancing Viettel Group\u2019s strategy of deploying 5G infrastructure and driving digital transformation in Vietnam. 5G technology supports the development of national digital infrastructure and a digital service ecosystem – creating opportunities for economic growth and increased productivity.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tommi Uitto, President of Mobile Networks, Nokia, said: “Nokia is proud to be Viettel Group\u2019s principal partner in this critical digital transformation project that will lay the foundations for Vietnam\u2019s future competitiveness. Nokia has been a part of Vietnam’s growth over the past three decades and this initiative of enhancing local technology production continues to strengthen our bond with the country. Our AirScale portfolio offers premium connectivity, low latency, and reduced power consumption supporting Vietnam’s digital future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
