Viettel has promoted investment in 2 new sea cables are: APG (Asian Pacific Gateway) and AAE-1 (Asia – Africa – Europe 1) in order to provide internationally connecting capability to Tbps in next few years and expand the network to global.

Viettel’s International network connection was built in 2006 – 2007. Start-up is a connection via satellites with very small capacity. Later, connecting gates using transmission technology SDH through China with the initial capacity (STM-16, STM-64) progressively prevailed.

Until 2009, Viettel had the first sea cable system – AAG (America Asia Gateway) to connect Vietnam (Vung Tau harbor) with some around countries, such as: Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Brunei, HongKong, Philippines and lasting to America. The presence of AAG had raised more international connections for Viettel and did not need to base on the mainland cables of China with such a high cost.
