Within the framework of 5G Day, 50 booths from major domestic and international technology enterprises will display the latest 5G, AI, Cloud, and IoT technology solutions and products on the market.

Viettel's 5G network quickly reached the milestone of 3 million users just 2 weeks after its launch and up to now, 70% of subscribers in Viettel's 5G coverage area have used 5G (equivalent to 4 million customers), internet traffic on 5G has accounted for 30% in the deployment area, showing the attraction and potential of 5G in Vietnam is huge.
Viettel's 5G network speed can reach 700Mbps-1Gb, 10 times faster than 4G, and the latency is almost zero, deployed simultaneously on both 5G NSA (non stand alone) and 5G SA (stand alone) architecture platforms. Viettel's official provision of 5G services is considered a boost for other network operators to participate in the commercialization process more strongly, promoting the goal of national digital transformation, providing a platform for businesses and organizations to apply digital technology; while helping to improve the quality of life of users.
