Currently, all three operators are actively accelerating the rollout of 5G services, with a primary focus on high-speed internet services for both mobile users and home users (5G Home Broadband), as well as providing high-level entertainment experiences and technological solutions for enterprises and high-bandwidth connectivity for digital businesses, and continuing to expand 4G coverage. These developments will enhance Cambodia’s competitiveness in the era of the digital economy.

In parallel with this progress, the TRC will continue to encourage all operators to build additional 5G base stations to ensure broader nationwide coverage. The TRC will also continue to monitor and strengthen 4G service quality to ensure stable and highly efficient connectivity.
