Cambodian mobile users now have access to 5G services after the country’s three main operators, Cellcard, Metfone and Smart, launched their respective networks at the start of the new year.
The Ministry of Post and Telecommunications said the rollout will be carried out in phases, beginning with coverage in the capital Phnom Penh and selected areas across provinces including Siem Reap, Kandal, Svay Rieng, Kampong Speu, Takeo, Kampong Cham, Kampong Thom, Prey Veng, Kratie, Kampong Chhnang, Pursat, Preah Sihanouk, Stung Treng and Kampot.
The ministry said further phases will extend 5G services to additional provinces, though it did not provide a timeline or details on which areas will be covered next.
According to the ministry, the introduction of 5G is expected to support Cambodia’s wider digital transformation efforts by enabling new services and economic opportunities.
Cambodia currently has around 19.6 million internet subscribers and 20.6 million mobile users, based on official figures.
