BARCELONA, Spain, March 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — At the 2024 Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona, Spain, with participation from 2,400 global companies, Viettel, the sole representative from Vietnam, showcased numerous self-developed 5G technology achievements.

During the event, Viettel introduced an automatic network system optimizing operational performance, saving energy, and autonomously resolving application issues for both 5G and 4G, which is being comprehensively deployed in Vietnam and 10 countries where Viettel has business investments.

The Viettel Group is not only focused on research and production of equipment but also offers solutions for Private 5G networks. Besides conventional 5G, Private 5G is a network specially designed for an organization or a specific area, not shared with the public network.

Private 5G networks offer benefits in terms of security, high speed, and low latency, suitable for specific enterprise applications, while also improving production and management efficiency.

The MWC 2024 event was where Viettel demonstrated the capabilities of this system by conducting a Standalone 5G (SA) broadcast – the most modern 5G network architecture using a 5G core network – right at the conference. Inside a 40kg box placed directly at the booth, visitors could easily access the network thanks to a complete system including core, access, and 5G radio networks. This step demonstrates Viettel’s mastery of the new generation of mobile networks.

Foreign partners praised Viettel’s 5G system after the MWC 2024 event. The Global System for Mobile Communications (GSMA) highly appreciated Viettel’s early deployment plan for the Standalone 5G (5G SA) network in 2024. “Viettel has been pioneering by signing this memorandum of understanding (MOU). GSMA hopes that both sides will have long-term cooperation, not only with 5G but also with 6G, 7G… with Open Gateway connection,” said Henry Calvert, GSMA’s Director of Networks.

Viettel’s participation in the GSMA Open Gateway, becoming the 47th member of this initiative, also shows the commitment and position of Vietnam’s leading corporation in the global telecommunications community.

Earlier, by the end of 2023, Viettel High Tech, a member of Viettel, successfully transferred the Private 5G system to QuadGen a company in India. Unlocking the world’s second-largest telecommunications market is proof of Viettel’s ability to provide quality telecommunication services, meeting global customer needs.

“In the common technology trend, the need for 5G deployment by international enterprises opens up many potentials. Opportunities not only lie in the telecommunications sector but also open up new customer segments, such as in the Logistics sector for building smart warehouses, or electronic equipment manufacturing plants needing 5G technology to operate the system, speeding up the process,” said Le Ba Tan, Technical Director of Viettel Group, at MWC 2024.

Besides the Private 5G network, at the conference, Viettel also introduced to the international community the 5G Chipset including 5G DFE – Vietnam’s first complex chip capable of performing 1,000 trillion calculations per second, equivalent to the 5G chip of the top 10 semiconductor companies in the world. Viettel engineers have mastered the entire design process, thereby laying the foundation for high-tech Chipset product lines. The other chip, named 5G RFIC, is Vietnam’s first wireless transmission chip.

The 5G network trend is changing the way the world connects and interacts, not only in the technology sector but also expanding to other industries. Viettel, one of Vietnam’s leading corporations, has been part of this revolution early on, starting with the establishment of a research and development team in 2015 and officially deploying a trial 5G network domestically in 2019.

From then on, Vietnam became the sixth country with the capability to produce 5G network equipment, with Viettel being the only enterprise that is both a telecommunications network operator and a researcher and producer of 5G network equipment.

NANNING, China, April 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — This is a report from china-asean-media.com.

The 14-day “2026 Vietnam-China Cross-Border Tourism AI Empowerment Cooperation and Exchange Program” successfully concluded on April 19 in Nanning, Guangxi. Co-hosted by the Department of Culture and Tourism of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region (China) and the Departments of Culture, Sports, and Tourism of Quang Ninh, Lang Son, Cao Bang, and Tuyen Quang provinces (Vietnam), the event brought together nearly 30 tourism officials and industry representatives from the four Vietnamese localities.

With the theme “Vietnam-China AI + Cross-Border Tourism Exchange and Cooperation,” the program combined expert lectures, case studies on AI applications, and field visits. Participants gained insights into ASEAN-China tourism policies, AI-driven cross-border cooperation models, and smart tourism technologies. Hands-on training enabled them to use AI tools for decision-making, product development, and destination branding.

The delegation conducted field studies in Nanning, Liuzhou, Guilin, and Hechi. They visited the China-ASEAN AI Innovation and Cooperation Center, the “Easy Visit Guangxi” platform, the No. Wang Cultural Industrial Park, and the BAO JUN base, experiencing Guangxi’s smart, industrial, landscape, and wellness tourism offerings.

A meaningful part of the program was retracing President Ho Chi Minh’s revolutionary footsteps in Guangxi, including visits to the former site of Yucai School in Nanning, the former residence of Ho Chi Minh in Liuzhou, and the “September 2” School site in Guilin. On April 17, all participants attended the launch ceremony of the 2026 Vietnam-China Border People’s Carnival in Nanning, witnessing the deep friendship and mutual support between the border communities of both nations.

At the closing ceremony on April 18, a cross-border tourism product design competition was held. The team from Quang Ninh won the Best Design Award, while teams from Lang Son, Cao Bang, and Tuyen Quang received Excellence Awards. Mr. Lưu Bá Mạc, Vice Director of Lang Son’s Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism, praised the program for fostering practical cooperation and opening new directions for the “comrades and brothers” friendship between local authorities.

The program not only provided Vietnamese tourism professionals with valuable knowledge in AI and smart tourism but also laid a solid foundation for future cooperation in building shared tourism information platforms, developing smart products, and enhancing data connectivity. Both sides reaffirmed their commitment to advancing high-quality development of the cultural and tourism industry through AI, contributing to the strategic Vietnam-China community with a shared future.
