Viettel Group has chosen Juniper’s MX960 universal routing platform to upgrade its network to better scale its consumer mobile and fixed broadband services.
This is to meet greater network demand from its increasingly digitally-savvy population in alignment with the government’s push to drive economic growth through technology.
Home to more than 77 million internet users, Vietnam is the fastest growing digital economy in Southeast Asia (SEA) due to its booming e-commerce sector and increased adoption of digital services.
Market leader Viettel serves more than 70 million mobile subscribers worldwide, and has 54 percent share of the mobile market and a 40 percent share of the fibre internet market in Vietnam.
For more than a decade, Viettel has relied on Juniper routing and security solutions for its core, edge and metro access networks. It further deepened this partnership by selecting Juniper’s MX960 universal routing platform and MX-SPC3 services cards to enhance its carrier-grade network address translation (CGNAT) capacity to meet increasing traffic growth and leverage the additional processing power required for seamless network address translation.
To efficiently meet the growing demand for mobile and broadband services across urban and rural areas while maximising its public IPv4 addresses, Viettel chose to upgrade its CGNAT capabilities. This allows IPv4 and IPv6 to seamlessly coexist in Viettel’s network. These upgrades have empowered Viettel to efficiently expand its consumer mobile and fixed broadband services, providing unparalleled experiences for subscribers across a wide range of services, including gaming, streaming and work applications.
“Three decades later, our goal remains simple: to integrate digital technology into all aspects of social life, ultimately serving the people and building a thriving digital society in Vietnam. This long-standing relationship with Juniper has enabled us to enhance our capacity and effectively handle the increasing traffic growth of our services,” said Viettel.
“With our experience-first solutions, we are confident that Viettel will continue to be able to seamlessly scale its network and meet the growing demands for digital services. Being a part of a nation’s digital growth is always a fulfilling endeavor, and we look forward to supporting Viettel in their mission to connect more people in Vietnam and beyond,” said Perry Sui, Area Vice President of Asean and Taiwan at Juniper Networks.
