Hanoi, Vietnam, November 7, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — 5G technology research process in Viettel Group Launched in 2019, it has since confirmed full control of the 5G communications infrastructure, ensuring robust protection from within.
Viettel announces success in 5G chip research
An important event in Vietnam’s technology industry was recently announced at the Vietnam International Innovation Exhibition 2023 (VIIE 2023). Military Industry and Communications Group (Viettel) successfully announced the research and development of 5G chips. This is the latest advance and confirms that Viettel has complete control over his 5G communications infrastructure, including everything from radio transceivers, switching devices, transmission equipment, radio access devices to the core network. .
Groundbreaking products that make up 5G communications infrastructure:
According to information, the first 5G DFE chip series will be Vietnam It belongs to a 5G product ecosystem completely designed by Viettel engineers.This is the first and only example Vietnam Here, the most advanced and complex chips in the 5G ecosystem were developed and successfully tested by Viettel’s Vietnamese engineers. It is a 5G DFE chip series that can perform 1,000 trillion calculations per second and is highly praised by trusted partners such as his Synopsys, the world’s leading integrated circuit design provider.
Mr. Chin Tan LamBusiness Director of Synopsys South Asia said, “I was very impressed when Viettel contacted me to say that they had brought back the chip for the first time after production and it worked very well. Creating the chip for a team of engineers in Vietnam was It was very difficult.” “Any problem with its functionality would have serious consequences. Firstly, it could demoralize us as to whether Vietnamese engineers could create such a modern chip. .Secondly, there would be significant economic costs.That’s why we applied.”This is the highest level of technology to ensure that the chips will function correctly once they are manufactured. Fortunately, Viettel’s 5G DFE chip has been working from the beginning and we are very satisfied.”
Dr. Le Tai HaChief Technology Engineer of Viettel High-Tech Integrated Circuits Center (VHT) said, “In foundations in Vietnam, it was impossible to touch and master this technology until 2018 or 2019. It’s a unique technology.” We received support from Synopsys, which sent a team of engineers to our research and development center in the United States. Belgium. ”
In addition to 5G chips, Viettel also offers 5G gNodeB transceiver devices (8T8R – deep coverage device for high-density residential areas, 32T32R – wide coverage device, key products for 5G network operators), 5G gNodeB transceiver station, site router 100G Transmission device, high frequency 5G signal processing transceiver block. These are the key components that make up the entire 5G communication infrastructure, which Viettel has declared to have complete technology mastery.
Previously, three products in Viettel’s 5G ecosystem, including 5G gNodeB, vOCS 4.0, and 5G Core, were recognized by the world’s leading research firm Gartner and included in the list of trusted international products in Gartner Peer Insights . 5G gNodeBs are being deployed in five states and cities. Vietnam, there are approximately 300 walkie-talkie stations. vOCS, the automated pricing system version 4.0 for 5G networks, has successfully completed testing with over 1 million subscribers. Previously, versions for 3G and 4G networks were available in 11 countries with populations of over 300 million people. 5G core devices are integrated into Viettel’s network, serving more than 250,000 subscribers.
Viettel’s journey to mastering 5G communication infrastructure:
At the end of 2018, Viettel announced its intention to participate in 5G technology trials and revealed that it was researching the production of 5G transceiver stations. immediately, April 2019the group completed the integration of the first 5G transceiver infrastructure in Hoan Kiem District (Hanoi) and successfully tested broadcasting across all frequency bands licensed by the Ministry of Information and Communications.
2019 was Viettel’s first successful year in researching and mastering 5G technology. His aforementioned 5G gNodeB transceiver system was developed by his team of engineers at Viettel within six months (from June to June). December 2019), based on previous experience in research on 4G-eNodeB transceiver station BTS and 5G pre-feasibility studies.
This was the basis for Viettel to successfully make its first 5G call with a 5G device developed and manufactured in-house in early 2020. This event marked a historic milestone in Vietnam. Vietnamese A technology industry where domestic companies have formally acquired the world’s most advanced network technology. By designing and manufacturing 5G devices in-house, Viettel is now able to aggressively deploy 5G into his mobile network and related services.
This research journey has not been easy for Viettel. Engineers even had to break down their own devices to assess quality. The product has evolved from researching small capacity 5G transceiver stations to large capacity 5G transceiver stations.
In early 2023, Viettel, in collaboration with Qualcomm, announced that it had successfully researched and manufactured the world’s first 5G transceiver transceiver (3T32R) block using the Qualcomm Open Ran standard. Following this success, Viettel has completed the development of his 5G device (64T64R) to serve network operators in areas with high-rise buildings that require wide and deep coverage.
The recent announcement on the successful development of 5G DFE chips confirms that Viettel has built and fully mastered the 5G communication infrastructure and ensured strong protection from within.
This is how Viettel, which started as a latecomer to 4G, has undergone a transformation. Vietnam The company is the sixth country in the world with 5G network equipment manufacturing capabilities and is the only company in the world that operates telecommunications networks while researching and producing equipment, especially 5G network devices. . This will ensure a secure and robust communications infrastructure that will support the nation’s digital transformation strategy.
ST Liu, vice president of Qualcomm Technologies, said at the 2016 High Level Semiconductor Industry Conference: Vietnam5G is expected to generate the following revenues globally: $13.1 trillion Above all, chips are expected to become widely integrated into our daily lives, from the moment we wake up to the moment we go to sleep.
Viettel’s ability to fully master the chip design process Vietnamese Deepen our involvement in the global semiconductor industry. This achievement also prepares Viettel to manufacture chips for various other fields in the future, including AI, 6G, IoT, etc.
