With the steadily growing economy, Vietnam has been seeing its mobile phone penetration rise above 100% and demands for mobile telecommunication infrastructure continue to grow. In particular, the IBS market, leasing of indoor telecommunication equipment (shared equipment) to multiple mobile network operators (“MNOs”), has been expanding rapidly with the rise of the mobile network traffic and the needs of MNOs to manage their assets more efficiently, and is expected to maintain its growth as plans for major real estate development continue to increase in Vietnam.

Supported by its positive relationships with all three major MNOs, high quality services and expansive network with real estate developers.
