Nokia and Vietnam Posts and Telecommunications Group (VNPT) are working together to upgrade and expand radio infrastructure across Vietnam.
This is being done through a new agreement that focuses on the Hanoi area, border provinces, and the southern region, marking an important step in advancing the nation’s digital connectivity.
Under the agreement, Nokia will deploy equipment from its industry-leading AirScale portfolio, powered by its energy-efficient ReefShark System-on-Chip technology, delivering premium connectivity, low latency and enhanced network capacity while reducing power consumption. The scope also includes comprehensive network management services to ensure optimal performance and reliability.
This upgrade will significantly improve mobile coverage quality, particularly in border regions and key economic and social hubs. It will enable people and businesses across multiple provinces to better access telecommunications and digital transformation services, supporting Vietnam’s broader goals of economic growth and digital inclusion.
The new collaboration builds on Nokia’s decision to establish Vietnam as a manufacturing hub for AirScale equipment in 2024. The hub supplies both domestic and international markets, creating new economic opportunities and strengthening regional supply chains.
“Extending our partnership with Nokia is an important step in strengthening Vietnam’s telecommunications and digital infrastructure, reaffirming our commitment to meeting the growing connectivity and digital service needs of people, businesses, and government,” said Huynh Quang Liem, CEO of VNPT.
“This expansion will give people and businesses better access to essential digital services, driving economic growth and enhancing quality of life,” said Hiro Miura, head of Nokia’s Southeast Asia market unit.
