FPT has continued to upgrade Internet bandwidth & support front-line doctors

Since August 10, FPT has decided to upgrade bandwidth for every Internet user without charging any additional fee and other methods to support customers and communities. This project was the response to the call for support from the Government and the Ministry of Information and Communications towards the people and communities affected by Covid 19

According to the latest news of the pandemic, FPT has constantly proposed and deployed reinforcements to every hot spot, to join hands and contribute efforts to fight COVID-19. Acknowledging the rise in demand for Internet use, FPT has applied a new upgrade policy that increased every subscription’s bandwidth by 66%. Specifically, FPT’s subscribers to Super 30Mbps package will be upgraded to 50Mbps; Super 80Mbps to 100Mbps; Super 100Mbps to 150Mbps; and Super 150Mbps to 200Mbps. This promotion will last for three months, from August 10, 2021. The subscription of each user will be automatically upgraded without any extra fee or installation. The details about this bandwidth support promotion will be available at: https://fpt.vn

Before that, in May, FPT had doubled the bandwidth for every customer without charge. Therefore, from the beginning of 2021, FPT has done two major upgrades to Internet FPT users. 

Since the start of the pandemic situation, FPT has always wanted to take actions to minimize the exposure rate for doctors in the process of consulting and taking care of the people, to protect the front-liners, and to ultimately prevent the spread of the virus, meanwhile to utilize the safe and efficient operation of field hospitals. FPT had deployed the digital transformation solution, installed equipment, technology facilities at many isolation centers and field hospitals nationwide. Wifi system with 100 access points and large bandwidth; online conferencing system - OnMeeting by FPT; and sets of PCs, printers, and security cameras were installed at the field hospitals in only 1-2 days. 

In July 2021, FPT had equipped technology solutions at the Posts and Telecommunications Institute of Technology’s Dormitory isolation center in Thu Duc, Ho Chi Minh City.

Moreover, FPT had accompanied Hope Fund in the support activities towards the frontline doctors in hot spots with crucial daily medical protection. On August 6, a total of 5000 face shields, 40.000 medical gloves, and 2000 sanitizers were delivered and gifted directly to the 2nd, 4th, and 8th field hospital; the 6th specialized in COVID-19 treatment, and An Binh Hospital. Previously, at these five hospitals, Hope Fund gifted the faculties with two mechanical ventilators, one patient cardiac monitor, 11.000 level 4 protection suits, and planned to contribute 13.000 N95 face masks in the upcoming future. 

Since June, over 4 billion worth of medical machines, equipment, and N95 masks have been supported by Hope Fund to 13 hospitals in Ho Chi Minh City. This was a massive contribution to over 2.500 healthcare workers working hard in the battle against COVID-19. 

In 2020, with tremendous efforts and contributions in the COVID-19 prevention, FPT was proudly awarded the COVID-19 Most Valuable Corporate Response by Stevie Awards - A Global Top-tier award for Business Achievements. Previously, Forbes also recognized FPT as one of the significant contributors to the battle against COVID-19 in the Asia business sector.
