According to the plan, Hanoi sets the following targets for completion by the end of 2026, including 100% of high-tech parks, industrial parks, and industrial clusters must have at least 1 5G base station.

The plan also requires 100% of investors in these zones to receive consulting support on developing applications using integrated private 5G networks, and mandates the implementation of at least 2 pilot projects applying 5G and IoT for smart factory management.

By 2030, the city aims to complete the deployment of new-generation XGS-PON fiber-optic Internet networks and transmission infrastructure capable of delivering symmetrical 10-gigabit-per-second (10 Gbps) data speeds.

The goal is for 100% of high-tech parks and industrial parks to apply smart urban infrastructure management software built on 5G/IoT platforms. All investors operating in these zones will receive consulting support on adopting management software developed on private 5G network models.

The city will also build a complete industrial IoT (IIoT) ecosystem to foster innovation and standardize technology solutions.

Key solutions

1. Institutional improvement

The city will study and effectively implement decrees and circulars guiding the Telecommunications Law to facilitate broadband service provision at appropriate costs, ensure fair competition, and prevent violations in telecom infrastructure management.

Legal documents will be reviewed and updated to create a framework for 5G and IoT infrastructure development.

Relevant technical regulations and standards will be followed to ensure quality, safety, environmental friendliness, and alignment with international norms.

2. Communication and capacity building for 5G and IoT adoption

Conferences and seminars will be organized to promote understanding of 5G and IoT infrastructure. Media agencies will disseminate information about the importance of digital infrastructure development and encourage enterprises to invest in high-tech and industrial zones to meet the city’s digital governance, digital economy, and digital society objectives.

Information on the features and capabilities of high-quality fixed and mobile broadband infrastructure (5G, 6G) will be provided to help organizations and individuals identify their needs for different sectors such as health care, education, and e-commerce.

3. Prioritized development of 5G and IoT infrastructure

The city will prioritize and maintain digital infrastructure, including transport and energy systems. New planning for high-tech parks, industrial parks, and industrial clusters must incorporate readiness for 5G and IoT development.

Telecom enterprises will receive support in modernizing and undergrounding cable systems in sync with other sectors’ infrastructure. Shared-infrastructure models will be encouraged to increase efficiency and reduce investment costs.

Telecom enterprises will be encouraged to share and jointly use telecommunications infrastructure to enhance efficiency, ensure urban aesthetics, and improve safety.

4. Mobilizing resources, ensuring funding and personnel

The city budget will ensure funding—both recurrent and investment—for tasks under the plan.

Telecom enterprises will fund implementation of tasks assigned to them and explore transitioning into digital infrastructure providers with stronger digital expertise.

Public-private partnerships (PPP) will be encouraged, especially for shared 5G and IoT infrastructure serving multiple telecom operators and service providers.

Preferential tax and fee policies, where applicable, will be implemented to attract public and private enterprises to invest in 5G and IoT infrastructure.

5. Measurement, management, and supervision

The city will conduct surveys, collect data, and publish results on progress in digital infrastructure development.

Hanoi People’s Committee assigned the Management Board of High-Tech Parks and Industrial Parks to coordinate with relevant departments to assess current information and communications infrastructure in high-tech parks, industrial parks, and industrial clusters.

Based on this assessment, telecom infrastructure planning for these zones will be updated and supplemented through 2030.
