The indicators in the above technical regulations are equivalent to the international standards of ITU (International Telecommunication Union), 3GPP Telecommunications Association Group (3rd Generation Partnership Project). In addition, Viettel High Tech also continuously adjusts, upgrades equipment, and updates deployment capabilities on real network systems. Director of the Department of Telecommunications - Ministry of Information and Communications Nguyen Thanh Phuc commented: "Viettel's successful self-production of 5G base stations not only demonstrates the Group's pioneering and outstanding capabilities but also demonstrates the country's technological autonomy.
