Under the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development’s Decision 2195, the blueprint specifies the construction of 532 stations in 13 coastal cities and provinces from central Ha Tinh province to southern Ba Ria – Vung Tau province.
The stations will be either built or integrated with base transceiver stations, firm buildings or communal radio stations.
