According to a Viettel’s representative, in April, Viettel sets to operate a new undersea cable system, named AAE-1, connecting to Asian – African, and European countries. Viettel has successfully installed a shore station in Vung Tau, and ready to ensure a well operation after its partner completed necessary connection.
Viettel continue to add capacity to cache systems, while researching, deploying popular data storage systems such as Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Verizon, Akamai, etc. in order to save capacity, preventing an indirect connection to international servers backwards.
Meanwhile, VNPT VinaPhone considered more investment and construction of international cables.
It is expected that by 2020, VNPT VinaPhone sets to exploit and invest 6 international undersea and grounded cable systems. At the same time, it will continue to sign agreements with other international partners, set up servers, store datas in an IDC of VNPT.
