Up to now, the whole country has only 11,591 5G BTS stations; 26% of the population has access to 5G services. Network operators plan to speed up the installation of 5G BTS. Photo: VNPT
For the record, the number of 4G base stations China's operators reported at end-June was significantly higher than CAICT's total. China Mobile had 1.65 million, China Telecom 1.05 million and China Unicom 770,000, for a grand total of at 3.47 million.
According to the Ministry of Science and Technology, as of early May 2025, network operators have installed 11,591 5G base transceiver stations (BTS), equivalent to 7.72% of 4G stations. About 26% of the population has access to 5G services. According to the plan, the number of 5G stations will gradually increase in the last months of 2025.
Mobile broadband access speed is 150.43 Mbps (assessed by Speedtest). Previously, after receiving the license to establish a network and provide services in 2024, the Military Industry-Telecoms Group (Viettel) launched 5G services in October 2024. Vietnam Posts and Telecommunications Group (VNPT) launched 5G in December 2024.
In 5G, base stations are known as gNB, where the “g” stands for next Generation. The Mobile Core is a bundle of functionality (conventionally packaged as one or more devices) that serves several purposes. Provides Internet (IP) connectivity for both data and voice services. Ensures this connectivity fulfills the promised QoS requirements.
5G networks divide coverage areas into smaller zones called cells, enabling devices to connect to local base stations via radio. Each station connects to the broader telephone network and the Internet through high-speed optical fiber or wireless backhaul.
Major suppliers of 5G radio and core systems included Altiostar, Cisco Systems, Datang Telecom/Fiberhome, Ericsson, Huawei, Nokia, Qualcomm, Samsung, and ZTE. Huawei was estimated to hold about 70 percent of global 5G base stations by 2023.

Data from transmission system operator MAVIR shows that solar energy production in Hungary reached a new peak on June 13, producing enough energy to serve the country's domestic electricity requirements entirely from renewables. Hungary has deployed almost 8 GW of solar capacity, according to the country's deputy minister of energy, Gàbor Czepek.
Another renewable source utilized in large amounts in Hungary is biomass. The NECP proposes a significant increase in solar PV capacity but no increase in wind power capacity. Wind power capacity expansion has been blocked by the government for more than ten years, a ban that is without reasonable geographic or economic reasoning [ 8, 9 ].
Wind and solar resources should receive more attention in the planning of the Hungarian energy transition. However, the expansion of these vRES needs to happen simultaneously with the restructuring of the whole system [ 27 ].
The input data to the model is derived mainly from national energy balance and other freely available databases which makes the approach easy to adapt and replicate. The following conclusions and recommendations are relevant to the Hungarian energy system.
