The Global Mobile Association and Viettel organized a conference to discuss the digital nation vision.

The first Digital Nation Summit was held in Vietnam.

The event contributes to responding to and promoting the comprehensive digital transformation process, building a digital economy in Vietnam, connecting the world's leading technology corporations and creating momentum for digital infrastructure development towards realizing Resolution 57-NQ/TW.

The conference, organized by the Global Mobile Association (GSMA), is part of a series of digital transformation activities in countries in the region, with the participation of major technology companies such as Qualcomm, Nokia, Ericsson, LG...

With the theme "Connecting Vietnam - The role of the mobile industry in building a digital nation", the conference focused on discussing solutions to build a modern and sustainable Vietnamese digital ecosystem.

Sharing about the topic of infrastructure development, Mr. Nguyen Dat, Deputy General Director of Viettel Group said: “Regarding the 5G network, despite facing many challenges in terms of large investment costs, we still aim to deploy quickly to reach coverage like 4G today by 2026. All urban and rural areas will use the most modern 5G Massive MIMO (massive multiple antennas) equipment, ensuring high performance and readiness for new generation digital services. This goal is to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to access technology, regardless of region, narrowing the digital gap in Vietnam, towards the goal of the digital economy contributing 30% of Vietnam's GDP by 2030".

A representative of Viettel High Tech - the unit in charge of researching and manufacturing high-tech equipment of Viettel Group said that Viettel has now completely mastered 5G core network technology, affirming its role as both a telecommunications operator and a technology researcher and developer.

Not only stopping at deploying a self-sufficient 5G core network, at the discussion session, Viettel also announced positive results in researching and developing Open RAN technology - a strategic direction to expand the autonomy of telecommunications infrastructure, reduce dependence on foreign suppliers, and promote flexibility and openness in network architecture. With mastery of both hardware and software, Viettel is among the few network operators in the world capable of comprehensively deploying a self-sufficient 5G ecosystem.

From this solid foundation, Viettel will move towards 5G Advanced and 6G in the next 5 years, continuing to affirm its pioneering position in the field of telecommunications and information technology in Vietnam and the region.

On the afternoon of April 15, representatives of Viettel Cyber ​​Security and Viettel IDC discussed with GSMA, LG, Nokia, Ericsson about technology solutions and policy contributions in the fields of cyber security and artificial intelligence.

“Vietnam’s economy is growing very fast, probably one of the fastest growing economies in the region, and Viettel is one of the largest operators. Vietnam and Viettel’s voices deserve to be heard more loudly in the industry, and this event is the first step in that process,” said Julian Gorman, Asia-Pacific Regional Director of the Global Mobile Association.

The Global Mobile Association is a global organization representing more than 750 telecommunications operators and 400 technology companies in the mobile ecosystem. It benefits its members by organizing the world's largest annual technology events such as MWC and M360, promoting policy, and supporting technology.
