Applications of hologram technology such as 3D holographic calls using 5G service; streaming games taking up significant bandwidth, such as cloud gaming; and virtual reality apps that allow users to play ping pong or football with their friends remotely were also successfully tested on the 5G network.

The mobile carrier has set up its first 5G trans-receiver stations in Hanoi, Hai Phong, Da Nang and Ho Chi Minh City.
