cellcard Doubles 5G Footprint to over 500 Sites — Set to Double Again to More Than 1,000 Sites by End-July

cellcard, Cambodia’s largest publicly listed telecommunications company on the Cambodian Securities Exchange (CSX), today announced a major milestone in the nation’s digital transformation journey with the deployment of over 500 5G base transceiver stations (BTS) — doubling its 5G network footprint since January 2026.

cellcard is now accelerating toward its next major milestone of more than 1,000 5G sites by end-July 2026, establishing one of the most extensive high-performance 5G footprints across Phnom Penh, Takhmao, and Cambodia’s Central Region.

Today, cellcard’s 5G network already covers approximately 50% of Phnom Penh’s population, reflecting the company’s rapid investment and commitment toward building Cambodia’s next-generation digital infrastructure.

Built for Real Customer Experience

cellcard’s 5G strategy is designed around customer experience, not just coverage maps.

With speeds reaches 1Gbps in key locations, cellcard’s high-performance 5G network is engineered to provide strong indoor penetration, seamless mobility, and reliable home connectivity — enabling customers to enjoy fast and stable digital experiences whether they are on the move or at home.

From HD streaming and cloud gaming to online learning, remote working, and enterprise connectivity, cellcard’s 5G network is built to support Cambodia’s rapidly growing digital lifestyle and economy.

Unlike traditional network deployments focused mainly on outdoor coverage, cellcard has prioritized dense urban deployment and superior indoor coverage at Cambodia’s busiest locations, including shopping malls, offices, airports, schools, hospitals, entertainment venues, and residential communities.

Today, cellcard is also the operator providing indoor 5G coverage across all three AEON malls — AEON Mall Phnom Penh, AEON Mall Sen Sok City, and AEON Mall Mean Chey — reinforcing its leadership in delivering next-generation connectivity where customers need it most.

Accelerating Cambodia’s Digital Future

cellcard’s expanding 5G footprint now covers many of Cambodia’s highest-demand digital zones, including:

• Major shopping malls and retail destinations
• International airport
• Government ministries and public institutions
• Business districts, convention centres, and premium hotels
• Universities, schools, hospitals, and healthcare facilities
• Tourist landmarks, entertainment venues, and sports complexes

The network supports both Mobile 5G and Home WiFi 5G services, enabling customers to enjoy high-speed connectivity both indoors and outdoors.

“Reaching over 500 5G sites — and preparing to surpass 1,000 sites by end-July — reflects our commitment to building a world-class digital infrastructure for Cambodia,” said Mr. Yap Kok Leong, CEO of cellcard.

“We are not building 5G simply for marketing claims. We are building a high-performance network designed around real customer experience — with fast speeds, strong indoor coverage, seamless mobility, and reliable home connectivity. Every new site we activate brings Cambodia one step closer toward a truly connected Digital Nation.”

More 5G sites will continue to be activated throughout 2026 as cellcard accelerates nationwide deployment and strengthens Cambodia’s digital ecosystem.
