Within the framework of the Mobile World Congress 2024 (MWC) from February 26-29, the Military Industry and Telecoms Group (Viettel) and Intel signed an MoU to cooperate in accelerating research and development and the production of advanced technology serving digital infrastructure and the digital society.

The two will develop concepts, conduct real-world testing, and deploy commercial services for product lines and solutions in the fields of AI, 5G, smart devices, computing platforms, and data centers.

Intel will accompany Viettel in providing technical consultancy, jointly optimizing performance, and granting Viettel early access to new hardware and software developed by Intel during the collaboration.

Four specific areas that both parties will deploy include research and development of AI and 5G technology and solutions; research and development and production of smart devices and computing platforms; initiatives to deploy optimized data center infrastructure specifically for AI and 5G; and enhancing high-level leadership cooperation and exchange on technology and training, developing a common ecosystem, and accessing new markets.

These are the leading technological foundations globally today, helping both parties prepare for the explosive development phase of digital infrastructure serving digital society.

“Viettel has achieved great technological accomplishments in promoting Open Radio Access Network (O-RAN) and in developing Standalone 5G (5G independent of 4G LTE network infrastructure) core,” said Mr. Daniel (Dan) C. Rodriguez, Corporate Vice President and General Manager of the Network and Edge Solutions Group at Intel Corporation. “The cooperation between Viettel and Intel will positively impact people’s lives and support sustainable development efforts in Vietnam.”
