Hanoi (VNA) – Viettel High Tech Industries Corporation, a member of Viettel Group, and its strategic partner High Cloud Technologies (HCT) have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Emirates Integrated Telecommunications (DU) at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) Barcelona 2025, marking the firm’s commitment to cooperate in deploying, testing, and commercialising 5G solutions in the Middle East.

In the initial phase, the focus will be on testing Viettel High Tech’s advanced 5G solutions on DU’s cutting-edge network, with two key components - a 5G OpenRAN public network and a 5G Private network. These 5G innovations aim to meet the growing demand for higher network capacity and faster data speeds while laying the foundation for ground-breaking applications such as smart cities, Virtual/Augmented Reality (VR/AR), and Industrial Internet of Things (IoT).

Nguyen Vu Ha, CEO of Viettel High Tech, stated that the partnership between Viettel High Tech, DU, and HCT will create a robust 5G ecosystem that meets international standards, helping to accelerate digital transformation across the region.

Fahad Al Hassawi, CEO of DU, said the collaboration marks a significant step forward in providing future-ready connectivity solutions. Integrating 5G Private and OpenRAN technologies will help build a next-generation telecommunications ecosystem that brings value to businesses, governments, and communities.

The partnership between Viettel High Tech and DU aligns with the UAE’s national digital strategy, which prioritises investment in telecommunications infrastructure to drive economic growth. Successful trials will pave the way for large-scale commercial deployment, positioning the UAE as a global hub for advanced telecommunications technology.

At MWC Barcelona 2025, Viettel High Tech unveiled its 5G equipment trials with DU, the leading telecom operator in the Middle East. This milestone represents a breakthrough in Viettel High Tech’s international expansion strategy and underscores Vietnam’s technological capabilities on the global telecommunications map.

In addition to its 5G trials, Viettel High Tech is actively exploring opportunities to expand its network infrastructure solutions portfolio in the Middle East. This strategic move aims to build a comprehensive technology ecosystem while strengthening Viettel High Tech’s position in the global next-generation telecom value chain./.
