Hanoi (VNS/VNA)- The Ministry of Information and Communications has just established a team todevelop 6G equipment with the participation of three telecommunicationsbusinesses Viettel, VNPT and MobiFone, as well as some agencies from theministry.

The research team, led by Nguyen Thien Nghia, deputy director of the Authorityof Information Technology and Communications Industry, will focus on reviewingthe system of legal documents to promote the development, evaluate and test 6Gequipment.

They will also propose regulations on management, assessment, inspection andtesting of the equipment to promote the deployment of the 6G network.

6G is the next generation of networks after 5G, and that is attracting manycountries and major technology companies in the world to invest in research andapplication.

In addition, the team will study international experiences on strategy fordevelopment, assessment, and testing of 6G equipment and have proposals on thedevelopment of 6G equipment in Vietnam.

The group will also monitor the 6G equipment research and development in theworld, such as equipment type, supportive band, price, and standardisation.

The team will attend international and domestic conferences and seminarsrelated to 6G equipment development, assessment, inspection and testing; andhave international cooperation in research and development of 6G technology andequipment.

Earlier, the Ministry of Information and Communications also established asteering committee to promote research and development of 6G mobile informationtechnology.
This committee focuses on researching and proposing strategies,mechanisms and policies to create a legal environment, and promote research anddevelopment on standards, application, information safety, production andcommercialisation for 6G mobile communication devices and services in Vietnam.

The committee also follows those activities of 6G research and developmentconducted by international organisations and advanced countries in the world.

Thereby, it proposes a roadmap for research, production and commercialisationof 6G equipment and services; and solutions to support Vietnamese enterprisesin manufacturing and commercialising 6G equipment and services.

According to the ministry, there are five 5G equipment manufacturers in theworld, and many countries in the world have begun researching 6G. Vietnam isdetermined to keep abreast with the world in developing 6G.

Vietnam is ready for 6G development when the ministry isdeveloping standards for 6G. Many universities and research institutes alsoembark on 6G research.

A representative of Viettel said that the company has embarked on researchingthe manufacture of 6G equipment and obtaining 6G patents. VNPT said it wouldfocus on researching a 6G ecosystem.

The 6G standard and commercialisation are expected to start in2028, while commercialisation in mass manner can take place in 2030. Humans andmachines will be the main subjects of 6G networks with advanced services, suchas augmented reality, high-precision mobile holograms and digital replicas.

The researchers said that smart homes will be widely deployed when smartdevices are able to be connected and controlled remotely. Intelligent trafficwith control systems, autonomous vehicles, flying taxis can be deployed basedon 6G network technology.

In the business report of the first six months of 2023, Viettelsaid that it has promoted to convert subscribers from 2G and 3G to 4G,increasing the number of 4G subscribers. It also tested 5G services in 55provinces and cities.

Especially for the 5G project, this group said that it stillensures the set schedule on development this network. Viettel has been testing5G services and evaluating quality of them. It expects to provide 5G servicesin mass manner from the third quarter of 2023.

Meanwhile, both VNPT and MobiFone in their business report for thefirst six months of the year as well as their plan for the last six months of2023 have not mentioned 5G development activities, vneconomy.vn reported./.
