HÀ NỘI – Việt Nam plans to build at least 10 new undersea cable routes by 2030, increasing the total number to 15 with a minimum capacity of 350 Tbps. By 2027, the country aims to launch four new routes, boosting the total capacity to at least 134 Tbps. It will continue to ensure that Singapore, Hong Kong (China), and Japan remain the primary digital hubs for connections. This phase will aim to maintain up to 90 per cent of the undersea cable capacity linked to four major digital hubs in Asia, with a 10 per cent capacity reserved for backup connections to significant digital hubs in the Americas and Europe. The international fiber optic cable system is a crucial part of Việt Nam’s digital infrastructure, requiring big investments to ensure ultra-high capacity, wide bandwidth, safety, and sustainability.
