Vietnam’s MIC issues roadmap for planned 2G cutoff in September, 2024
On July 03, 2024, Vietnam’s Ministry of Information and Communications (MIC) has officially revealed its roadmap to switch off 2G mobile services, which stipulates a hard cutoff date of September 16 for 2G-only handsets, and a full cutoff of services in September 2026.
Viet Nam has deployed 5G services on a trial basis in Ha Noi, Ho Chi Minh City, and Da Nang.
Viet Nam aims to soon cover 5G in hi-tech parks, research centers and industrial parks that need 5G application as soon as licensing.
By 2025, the population basically will have 5G coverage and by 2030, all people will have 5G coverage. With the available broadband telecoms infrastructure via fiber optic and mobile, 5G technology will be the premise for all industries and sectors in the economy to implement digital transformation, ready for Industry 4.0./.
