Ho Chi Minh City has approved a plan to cover all public areas with free high-speed wi-fi and pilot 6G networks by 2030, applying it across a metropolis that tripled in area last year.
Ho Chi Minh City has announced plans to provide free Wi-Fi in all public spaces by 2030 as part of its smart city development scheme, which aims to emulate models from cities like Singapore and Shanghai. The city, which now spans 6,800 sq.km and is home to about 14 million people, is set to achieve 5G coverage for 95% of its population and will pilot 6G in selected areas.
The ambitious plan includes integrating administrative records, delivering public services online, and transforming transport systems to run on green energy. The city also aims to have a digital twin platform, fully digitize administrative records, and ensure 99% satisfaction among residents and businesses using digital services.
