In Vietnam, the telecommunications market is gradually becoming saturated due to large mobile coverage and the strong growth of data consumption. As the network provider with the biggest 3G and 4G infrastructure networks with more than 70,000 base transceiver stations, Viettel Telecom also has the largest number of 3G/4G subscribers, especially 4G subscribers.
In the first 9 months of 2019, the number of 4G subscribers has doubled compared to the same period of 2018, reaching 21 million subscribers (accounting for 65% of the total number of subscribers using data).
Viettel not only is the mobile service provider based on the 4G network and soon the 5G one in Vietnam, but also provides many short-term data packages (1 day, 3 days, 7 days) with low costs, thus creating favorable conditions for customers of all ages and regions to access the Internet.
On its 15th founding anniversary in October, Viettel conveyed a message of "Digital transformation - Start a new journey" with the goal to become a mobile service provider with a revenue as high as other telecoms in the world, maintaining its leading position in the market, and creating a second boom in the mobile sector by 2025.
Over the past 60 years, the Frost and Sullivan Awards are held annually in 19 industries including telecommunications, technology, banking and finance, aerospace, agriculture, construction and consumption.
