Hanoi (VNA) – The Vietnam Posts and Telecommunications Group (VNPT) is poised to pioneer researching 6G to help the country apply this technology at an early date.
This is part of the firm’s development strategy until 2030 with a vision to 2035, recently approved by Deputy Prime Minister Ho Duc Phoc.
According to the strategy, the general goal is to continue developing the group into a strong, dynamic, efficient, and modern State-run enterprise capable of competing with others in the country and the world and properly delivering public services, thus contributing to socio-economic development, national defence, and security.
The firm is set to turn itself into a technology group focusing on digital infrastructure, digital technology, and digital services while possessing and operating the key platforms and facilities of the national digital infrastructure. It will strive to become a pioneering innovator that masters digital technology and provides a digital ecosystem for every socio-economic aspect.
The VNPT will develop platforms supplying core digital technologies, including the Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, big data, blockchain, and cybersecurity, as an essential service that acts as important soft infrastructure providing services.
It will also research and apply new technologies for realising the broadband internet access network, along with open network technologies, cloud native/cloud edge, network automation/autonomous network, along with wireless network access technologies, according to the strategy.
In addition, the group is set to develop 5G infrastructure on the basis of the 4G network, increase sharing telecoms infrastructure with other telecoms businesses, and pioneer researching 6G to help the country become one of those applying this technology early in the world.
By 2025, it will develop into a key enterprise of the country, successfully transforming from a traditional telecoms business into a technology firm, and mastering some important platforms guiding the national digital transformation.
By 2030, the group is to become a smart, dynamic, and efficient digital technology business that plays an important role in Vietnam’s national digital map while successfully entering regional and international markets.
And by 2035, it will establish itself as a platform for all clients, possess ecosystems of all services, and supply a high-quality, smart, and trustworthy transmission network aligned with leading digital platforms in Vietnam and the region, the strategy notes./.
