Vietnamese telco VNPT advocates a 5G-centric strategy for cultivating sustainable digital and IoT ecosystems in Vietnam, urging the government to institute supportive policies.
According to Ly Quoc Chinh, VNPT Technology’s deputy general director, 5G extends beyond rapid smartphone connectivity, encompassing IoT, cloud, big data, and AI.
Emphasizing the importance of leveraging 5G carrier platforms, like VNPT, he contends that businesses should collaborate to build a cohesive ecosystem of 5G-based applications, discouraging fragmented efforts that lack competitive scale.
VNPT’s digital services transformation involves infrastructure and technology platform development, fostering partnerships with the tech community for sustainable ecosystems.
Ly urges government intervention, proposing policies such as synchronized training strategies for human resources and support for electronics and telecom businesses in IoT device research and development.
Additionally, he calls for specific mechanisms to aid large enterprises in establishing digital service ecosystems, aligning with Vietnam’s 2030 vision of a fully digital economy.
