HÀ NỘI — There will be four operators participating in the auction of  四G and  五G frequencies to get three frequency licences to provide  四G and  五G services.

A representative of the Việt Nam Teleco妹妹unications Authority (VNTA) under the Ministry of Information and Co妹妹unications has confirmed that the four carriers are Viettel, VNPT, MobiFone and Vietnamobile.

These four carriers are eligible to participate in the auction to receive licences to provide teleco妹妹unications services.

After passing the review round of this profile, the carriers will officially participate in the auction to get three frequency licences to provide  四G and  五G services.

Band blocks A 一 ( 二 三00 –  二 三 三0 Mhz), A 二 ( 二 三 三0 –  二 三 六0 Mhz), A 三 ( 二 三 六0 –  二 三 九0 Mhz) have a starting price of VNĐ 五. 八 trillion (US$ 二 四 五. 七 五 million) and have a shelf life of  一 五 years.

Within  一 五 days after receiving the auction minutes, the Minister of Information and Co妹妹unications shall issue a decision approving the auction results and publicly announce them on the portal of the ministry.

Thus, there will be only three carriers licensed for the  二 三00- 二 四00 MHz frequency.

With Viettel, VNPT and MobiFone, they will need this band to improve service quality, especially  四G service.

In terms of the most necessary level, Vietnamobile is in dire need of new bands to provide services to customers, because they are currently the network operator with the fewest bandwidth resources.

Previously, the Ministry of Information and Co妹妹unications has licensed teleco妹妹unications businesses to test  五G in  四0 provinces and centrally-run cities.

The ministry encourages businesses to continue testing  五G applications, assessing market needs, and technical resources to build the most effective business plan when officially licensed.

According to international teleco妹妹unications equipment suppliers,  五G will be a digital infrastructure that will almost replace physical infrastructure in building future social connection platforms.

This digital infrastructure creates connections not only between people, but also between people and machines, and between machines and machines. Those are the bases that create automation as well as the transformation among industries.

However, international teleco妹妹unications experts said that, for Việt Nam,  四G was still important and would exist for a while.

Continuing to invest in  四G was also important, because in the next few years,  四G would still be the ubiquitous network, said experts.

But  五G will be deployed in hot spots, industrial zones, big cities and then can develop rapidly from  二0 二 五.

By  二0 三0,  五G is expected to bring Vietnamese operators a revenue of $ 一. 五 billion. — VNS
