Accelerating 5G in Vietnam

Vietnam is one of Asia’s most dynamic and fast-growing nations with digital transformation already underway in many sectors of its economy. The successful completion of the 2.6 GHz and 3.5 GHz spectrum auctions in 2024 has more than doubled the amount of available mid-band IMT spectrum, paving the way for a nationwide commercial rollout of 5G.

This report examines the state of 5G spectrum planning and implementation in Vietnam and discusses the key challenges in securing sufficient spectrum resources for 5G, particularly in mid-bands. It also provides recommendations on the optimal way forward. The additional document examines how the country can implement effective spectrum pricing to build on its current momentum, and get the most out of 5G.
