On December 27, the Military Industry-Telecoms Group ( Viettel ) and Hanoi University of Science and Technology (HUST) opened a 5G/6G research laboratory.

The laboratory includes a complete 5G Stand-alone telecommunications network system (5G network architecture using all core technologies, independent of 4G) researched and developed by Viettel from core network (data processing) to radio (connecting to terminal devices).

HUST research teams will use the lab to serve research on core technologies of next-generation wireless connections such as beamforming (radio signal orientation, helping to improve transmission performance with terminal devices), network slicing (network slicing, dividing the physical network into separate networks to meet different needs), uRRLC (ultra-precise connection at ultra-low latency, transmitting data with almost no errors at millisecond latency).

These are technologies that serve 5G applications such as industrial automation, automatic control, self-driving cars, and remote medical surgery.

Associate Professor Dr. Huynh Quyet Thang, President of HUST, informed: “We will make the most of the laboratory’s strength as well as the in-depth research and training cooperation with Viettel to continue conducting meaningful research, contributing to important scientific and technological fields for the country’s development.”

Colonel Cao Anh Son, Deputy General Director of Viettel Group, affirmed: “Viettel is very aware that investing in education is investing in the future. As a technology group, we understand that it is necessary to expand the network of in-depth research cooperation, so that from that research we can create products that contribute to society.”
