Modern enterprises generate and process massive amounts of data. The volume of real-time data they generate often exceeds the latency and uninterrupted connectivity requirements of traditional centralized data centers and cloud models. To optimize efficiencies and downtime, many businesses are now exploring edge computing to process large amounts of time-sensitive data more efficiently.

Large-scale edge computing places compute and storage resources close to where data is generated, such as by various devices, including the rapidly expanding Internet of Things (IoT). This is especially useful in enterprise applications.

Viettel has successfully acquired a 700-MHz spectrum block for VND 1.95 trillion, marking a key step in strengthening its 4G and 5G networks. The license, valid for 15 years, grants rights to the B2-B2' band (713-723 MHz and 768-778 MHz), which the government has been attempting to auction for several years.

Viettel plans to leverage the band’s extensive propagation range to enhance indoor coverage in urban areas and extend coverage to rural, mountainous, and remote regions at lower deployment costs. The company aims to reach 99% of Vietnam’s population with coverage by 2030 and intends to deploy over 20,000 5G base stations in 2025.
