Infrastructure is invested to connect and serve the development of smart services.

Step by step digital infrastructure synchronization

In recent times, investment in building telecommunications infrastructure - digital infrastructure has been carried out synchronously, connecting fiber optic cables to each household, covering 4G to 100% of villages and hamlets in the city. According to data provided by the Digital Transformation Department - Department of Science and Technology (KH&CN), up to now, fixed broadband network (FTTH fiber optic cable) and mobile network have covered 100% of villages and hamlets in the area. The rate of sharing BTS station locations between enterprises reached 13%; the rate of sharing cable poles reached 92%; the rate of sharing cable sewers reached 49%. Thanks to the investment, the rate of mobile broadband subscribers/100 people reached 84.31% and the rate of households with fiber optic broadband internet connection reached 83.19%. The speed of fixed and mobile broadband networks in the area is higher than that of the whole country; In which, fixed broadband network reached 167.57Mbps (the whole country reached 99.81Mbps) and mobile broadband internet access speed reached 90.53Mbps (the whole country reached 65.61Mbps).

The Department of Science and Technology has also focused on undergrounding, renovating and embellishing telecommunications infrastructure with 44 routes/areas having completed undergrounding cables and subscriber lines and 152 routes having completed renovation and embellishment. According to Mr. Vo Van Khoi, Deputy Head of Digital Transformation Department - Department of Science and Technology, in a short time of implementation, 50 environmentally friendly BTS stations have been invested along the route, ensuring 4G and 5G coverage. In addition, to eliminate the situation of "network depression", "network blank", ensuring safety and smooth communication on highways, isolated traffic areas..., many BTS stations have been invested in and built to cover mobile signals on the La Son - Tuy Loan and La Son - Cam Lo highways; at the same time, covering mobile signals in the North - South railway tunnels through Hue city.

Connect smart services

Hue City is striving to build a synchronous infrastructure to serve digital transformation to complete the goal of "4 no's, 1 yes": Paperless work, less concentrated meetings, face-to-face public services, cashless payments, and digitized data. The city has developed and upgraded essential digital infrastructure, initially meeting the requirements of deploying digital government and smart urban services. 100% of Party and State agencies in the area have connected to broadband network infrastructure on the Party and Government's dedicated network to meet the deployment of digital services and ensure information security. 100% of State agencies from city to commune level have deployed MetroNet network connection to connect to the Government's dedicated data network and centralized internet.

Mr. Nguyen Duong Anh, Deputy Director of the Department of Science and Technology, said that up to now, the information technology infrastructure in state agencies has been invested synchronously. The data center serving digital transformation using cloud computing technology is being deployed at the Hue City Smart Urban Operation and Monitoring Center (HueIOC) which has been invested and upgraded to deploy systems serving the government and providing public services to organizations and individuals.

The operation of this data center has helped people and businesses using online public services to be identified and authenticated smoothly and unified across all systems of all levels of government. To date, there are more than 2,230 data tables for the following areas: Tourism, post and telecommunications, press and publishing, transportation, healthcare, education, culture and sports, public services, location infrastructure, OCOP products, construction permits, etc. Thereby, allowing state agencies as well as individuals and businesses to collect, extract, convert, standardize, store, manage, and share data, contributing to the effective implementation of digital government and smart urban services.

To effectively carry out digital transformation, local authorities continue to promote telecommunications enterprises to deploy the application of ultra-high-speed, high-capacity optical transmission technology; invest in building and developing high-quality mobile broadband telecommunications infrastructure, such as 4G, 5G and next generation..., gradually ensuring the safety of information networks, smooth communication to serve the direction and operation of State agencies and the need to use digital services, smart services of people and businesses.

To date, local network operators such as Viettel, VNPT, Mobifone... have invested in covering 110 5G BTS stations in Hue city. It is expected that in 2025, network operators will continue to invest in covering an additional 362 5G BTS stations in the city.
