Sweden’s networking and telecommunications giant Ericsson and Vietnam Posts and Telecommunications Group (VNPT) will jointly deliver next-generation mobile infrastructure for major airport projects in Vietnam.

Ericsson announced the collaboration in a press release on Monday, saying that the partnership is the first between the two sides in airport industry, leveraging advanced cellular connectivity to enable greater agility and advance airport operations.

This deployment reinforces Ericsson’s commitment to supporting Vietnam’s digital transformation, according to the Swedish firm.

VNPT will deploy Ericsson’s latest radios and RAN Compute solutions to support enhanced connectivity across the airport environment. These solutions will provide high-capacity c-band coverage optimized for dense indoor environments typical of airport terminals, alongside multi-band support to ensure seamless compatibility and roaming for international travelers.

The move can modernize passenger and operational connectivity, enabling secure, high-capacity communications to support critical airport operations, passenger services, and other tasks.

The enhanced connectivity as part of this airport modernization project can support smarter operations across areas such as passenger processing, baggage handling, and asset management while helping the airport to operate more efficiently, VNPT Deputy CEO Nguyen Nam Long highlighted.
