Cambodia. Government promises countrywide mobile and internet coverage by 2027

Cambodia is on track to have telephone antennas in all communes and districts across the Kingdom by 2027, according to Telecommunications Minister Chea Vandeth.

The minister also acknowledged the problem of poor phone and internet signals in the capital’s gated communities. He said the ministry will test telephone service in boreys or other areas in Phnom Penh that have poor service and explain to private telecoms what they need to do to fix identified problems.

Vandeth said the rapid rollout of new antennas would also help address connectivity issues for mobile phone and internet users. The minister also sought to reassure Cambodians that telephone antennas pose no health risk. There have been protests in Siem Reap when Metphone tried to build an antenna in the Slakram district. Locals were concerned the mast would emit harmful radiation.
