In Southeast Asia and Oceania, 5G subscriptions are expected to reach around 630 million by 2030, accounting for around 49% of the region’s total mobile subscriptions. Data traffic per smartphone is expected to increase from 19 GB/month in 2024 to 38 GB/month in 2030. 5G networks handled 35% of global mobile traffic by the end of 2024, and analysts predict this figure will exceed 80% by the end of 2030.
Vietnam is making steady progress with 5G services being rolled out since October 2024, with three operators offering the service. “From 5G to the digital economy , technology is driving the next wave of growth in Vietnam. Telecom operators are working hard to deliver 4G/5G coverage nationwide,” said Rita Mokbel, President and CEO of Ericsson Vietnam.
“There are many existing and potential future use cases of 5G that can create a breakthrough transformation for businesses, helping them operate more efficiently, be future-ready and develop more sustainably. The opportunities that 5G brings will not only help businesses quickly adapt to the requirements of the new world but, more importantly, contribute to the socio-economic development of Vietnam.
Recent advances in 5G SA networks, along with the development of 5G-enabled devices, have contributed to the creation of a robust ecosystem that opens up breakthrough opportunities for connectivity innovation. “To fully realize the potential of 5G, it is essential to continue to deploy 5G SA networks while accelerating the construction of mid-band base stations. The superior capabilities of 5G SA will be a catalyst for a new wave of business growth,” said Rita Mokbel.
The increased deployment of 5G SA networks will create a more solid foundation for expanding applications, creating new use cases for both businesses and consumers.
As GenAI devices become more prevalent and AI applications become more sophisticated, application developers and telecommunications service providers will need to focus more on uplink data transmission capacity and minimizing latency.
Ericsson’s Mobility Report also highlights that 5G devices are constantly evolving, with GenAI technology on smartphones no longer limited to high-end models but gradually being integrated into more mainstream segments. AI-powered smart glasses are also becoming more useful thanks to their ability to interact via audio. In addition, the need for dedicated connectivity is increasing to serve new applications for both consumers and businesses. This will be a key factor in delivering high-quality experiences for personalized AI assistants and next-generation conversational applications.
