Viettel and Nokia also say that being first to 5G will allow Viettel and Nokia to play a crucial role in enabling Industry 4.0 applications to boost Vietnam's economy. Nokia says it deployed the 5G network in a very short time frame, building on its existing LTE footprint with the operator, upgrading the entire infrastructure from radio access, cloud Packet Core and transmission to 5G technology. Viettel’s first cloud-based Packet Core network is currently serving its live subscribers, and the network will offer a range of real-time 5G enduser experiences, such as VR gaming and 8K resolution streaming, as well as enabling Nokia’s Fixed Wireless Access. Viettel and Nokia say they have set up 10 5G base stations in the area of Ward 12, District 10, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam's biggest city with more than 2,000 km2 and a population of 13 million. The project sets the basis for a comprehensive evaluation of the band, coverage and application of 5G before commercialisation in 2020.
