Nokia announced that Viettel will deploy Nokia's Broadband Network Gateway-Control User Plane Separation (BNG-CUPS) solution to modernize its fixed broadband network and enhance the subscriber experience in the Hanoi Metro area.

As part of the agreement, Viettel will replace the existing legacy solution with Nokia's BNG-CUPs solution to simplify its day-to-day operations for improved efficiencies.

Vietnam's digital economy is growing rapidly, driven by e-commerce, fintech, and cloud adoption. The government's National Digital Transformation strategy aims for the digital economy to account for 30% of GDP by 2030. This growth requires robust and reliable digital infrastructure, including broadband connectivity.

Viettel's deployment will use Nokia's 7750 Service Router, powered by FP5 chipset which will reduce energy consumption by 75%. Nokia's Network Services Platform will enable Viettel to simplify operations and respond quickly to evolving demands while the CUPS architecture will help Viettel separate the control plane from the user plane to allow flexible scaling and edge deployments.
