Vietnam will cut off the 2G network by 2022, and trade the 5G in 2020



The Ministry of Information and Communications said that the Ministry has submitted to the Prime Minister to consider the plan to stop the old 2G mobile technology by 2022. The reason for cutting off the 2G network is that there are three public telecommunications networks in Vietnam. Ground mobile technology is GSM (2G) deployed in 1990, IMT 2000 (3G) deployed in 2009 and LTE-A (4G) deployed in 2016 and expected to deploy commercial 5G in 2020. Thus, from 2021, there will be four mobile technologies on Vietnam's telecommunications network. Maintaining these 4 technologies at the same time forces businesses to maintain and operate 4 separate mobile networks, costing businesses, frequency resources are divided, and enterprises do not focus on sources. Force to engage in new mobile technology. Therefore, the elimination of 2G technology allows the release of bands for new mobile technologies, helping businesses save and reduce operating costs, and reserve passive infrastructure to develop 5G broadcast stations.

Besides, Vietnamese businesses have been able to produce smartphones at low prices that can replace existing 2G phones and do not affect users much.

Along with the launch of the 2G wave-off roadmap, the Ministry of Information and Communications said it has licensed 5G testing for mobile telecommunications businesses. Currently, a telecommunications corporation in Vietnam has officially tested this technology in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. The ministry advocates the consideration of official 5G licensing for businesses by 2020. Therefore, Vietnam is now one of the leading countries in the ASEAN region in terms of 5G trade deployment.

A General Director of the corporation said that they had prepared conditions on station infrastructure, transmission systems, core networks as well as experiences, lessons, and personnel on design and deployment of 5G network. "In Ho Chi Minh City, the company has completed seamless 5G network coverage in ward 12, District 10. For Hanoi, we have broadcasted some of the first 5G stations in May 2019. In addition, the company will deploy the 5G network seamlessly in an area of ​​Ba Dinh district in the next 1-2 months. The download speed of the 5G network as the company has announced is 1.7 GB / s, 50 times higher than 4G currently. This is a technical testing phase, so the company's goal is to evaluate the system capacity, coverage, and parameters as well as draw lessons on design, deployment, operation, and exploitation. 5G network layer, from which there is a basis to build a strategy and development roadmap for 5G in Vietnam "said the General Director
