This milestone contract marks a strategic partnership between Viettel High Tech and High Cloud Technologies, a leading company in the Middle East pioneering commercial 5G networks in the region. HCT is also a trusted partner of top-tier telecom operators such as MTN, MCI, Du, STC, and Etisalat.
Under the agreement, Viettel High Tech will provide both 4G and 5G base stations using Non-Standalone (NSA) technology to High Cloud Technologies. Notably, Viettel High Tech will also supply a cloud-based core network infrastructure. This achievement is made possible by VHT’s complete expertise in end-to-end technologies, from core networks to access networks.
High Cloud Technologies will implement telecom solutions and equipment developed and manufactured by Viettel High Tech to fulfill commercial contracts and conduct 5G trials with major telecom operators in the Middle East. The goal is to demonstrate the reliability and effectiveness of VHT’s products.
Viettel High Tech’s products are recognized for their quality and cost-efficiency compared to other suppliers. This enables High Cloud Technologies to expand telecom coverage in the UAE and other parts of the Middle East, particularly in suburban and rural areas. The collaboration contributes to improving education and social living standards in these regions. Through this partnership, HCT aims to not only strengthen its leadership position but also open opportunities for future collaboration with potential clients, shaping the future of telecommunications in the Middle East.
Since 2017, Viettel High Tech has been researching and developing 4G technologies. By 2019, it began developing 5G, and by 2024, VHT is ready to commercialize 5G technology from core networks to 5G base stations. The UAE contract represents Viettel’s first major telecommunications project in the Middle East.
