Viettel Group on Thursday announced the successful trial of its 5G Private Mobile Network (5G PMN) for the Pegatron smart factory in the northern port city of Hải Phòng.
In the first phase of cooperation, Viettel provides 5G private networks for applications including those in augmented reality for video calls; assembly stations; managing product testing activities and direct supervision of the production process.
It expects to provide 5G private networks by the end of 2023 for thousands of devices at Pegatron’s electronic equipment and components factory in Hải Phòng.
CY Feng, a section’s General Manager at Pegatron said that the application of 5G Private Mobile Networks to the production line was in line with new trends.
Pegatron deployed this technology into the production line in Việt Nam to improve the factory’s efficiency towards a modern and professional process. Viettel was a strategic partner of Pegatron and their technology could meet with requirements for a smart factory.
Hoàng Minh Cường, Vice chairman of the People’s Committee of Hải Phòng highly appreciated Viettel’s efforts in applying modern technologies in cities.
The successful test has been evidence of Viettel's constant efforts to fulfil its commitment to accompany the city in digital transformation.
Đào Xuân Vũ, Viettel’s Deputy General Director said “Viettel pursues the philosophy that technology was born to solve social problems and improve the quality of life.
"Viettel has so far deployed 5G to 58 out of 63 localities. The company plays a key role in building a secure, strong and reliable connection infrastructure, which is the foundation for a dynamic and competitive digital service ecosystem that creates a digital society.”
5G PMN is a dedicated mobile network that provides connecting mobile services for organisations and individuals that need to use specialised devices or machines that need real-time connectivity. This is the world’s new trend with an expected annual growth rate of 51.2 per cent from 2023 to 2030.
