Viettel deploys 5G network infrastructure in India
VOV.VN - Viettel High Technology Industries Corporation (VHT) and United Telecoms Limited Group (UTL Group) on December 8 signed a strategic agreement on comprehensive R&D and deployment of 5G network infrastructure in India and an export contract to the Indian market.
The terms of the deal will see Viettel provide and deploy IP Router equipment on Internet Service Provider Gwave's telecommunications network in the Indian market.
The IP transmission device supports 100bps speed that is capable of meeting the requirements of Viettel’s 5G network.
Viettel represents the first unit to conduct research on IP Router in Vietnam that is capable of meeting the standards of the EU’s CE marking and the United States’ Federal Communications Commission (FCC). It has also been fully assessed and certified by the Ministry of Information and Communications of Vietnam.
Raja Mohan Rao Potluri, group chairman of UTL Group, said that he had selected Viettel as its partner to deploy the 5G network in India for the first time for India's national carrier Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL).
Furthermore, he added that the procedures for licensing 5G test frequencies are expected to be approved in December.
Lieutenant Colonel Nguyen Vu Ha, general director of VHT, shared that this represents a vital step for Viettel in the process of market expansion as India, with a population of 1.4 billion, is viewed as an attractive market for leading technology corporations.
Ha revealed that VHT’s ultimate goal is to promote co-operation in research, development, and equipment production of 4G and 5G networks in order to meet Indian standards.
