Rita Mokbel, president of Ericsson Vietnam, from “extremely impressed” to talk about the speed of deployment of 5G in the country.
“Just a few months from when licensed time to commercialize 5G has presence in Vietnam,” she Mokbel review at opening ceremony new office of the group in Ha Noi on 12/9.
Ericsson is present in Vietnam since the early 1990s, is a leading international technology first joined the telecommunications market in the country. After more than three decades, company, companion of the network in the process of digitizing infrastructure, deployment generation mobile networks from 2G, 3G to 4G and are promoting deployment of 5G.
According to her Mokbel, from the enterprise perspective, Ericsson appreciate the government's view, 5G is the infrastructure national essential to realize the goal of becoming the country with high income in the year 2045, with the economic expectations of the expected contribution of 30% of GDP.
She said that 5G will not only bring benefits for consumers, but also opens up great opportunities for businesses in manufacturing, logistics, medical and many other fields. From smart factories, ports automatically to the remote healing, this technology is expected to create the comprehensive changes to the economy.
The chairman of Ericsson identify AI, cloud and other services number of new all need foundation strong connection. Therefore, the “5G is not just technology but also the infrastructure essential foundation for Vietnam to become the economy of leading ASEAN,” she said.
To seize the opportunity, she said that the network and business – from medical daily, not to harbor – need to cooperate to promote automation and switch number. In that context, Ericsson is also working with network operators to deploy private networks (5G private) testing smart city, along the training program resources about 5G, AI and cloud computing with many universities.
At the event, mr. Nguyen Phong Nha, the Deputy director of the department of Telecommunications – Ministry of Science and technology assessment services, 5G has a presence in many cities and provinces in Vietnam, not only speed upgrades compared to 4G, which is also the foundation for Internet things, smart factories, self-propelled vehicles, industry 4.0.
However, according to him, the process of deploying application services 5G even more of a challenge in terms of cost, the application of 5G in industry is still in the testing phase, lack of human resources quality, price and equipment is expensive and the risk of network security. To fix, according to him, Vietnam needs to improve the regulatory environment, promote healthy competition and support innovation.
He suggested Ericsson priority cooperation with Vietnam in the coordinate policy formulation and regulation, help students, scientists access resources in advanced R&D, to create conditions for Vietnamese engineers approach 6G, offering technology and equipment to deploy apps, 5G, and provide training programs in-depth about 5G and 6G.
According to the Ministry of Science and technology, to march 6, Vietnam has more than 12.200 station broadcast 5G, covered 26% of the population. Telecommunication infrastructure tank with a constant speed mobile Internet and fixed ranked 19th in the world.

Mobile network generation 5G/6G is one of the 11 group technology strategy according to the list issued last month 6 of the Prime minister, with three product strategy is equipment and solutions radio access network 5G/6G standard ORAN; core network 5G/6G; transmission solution IP high speed.
