Viettel affirms the level of high-tech research and development

Intellectual property is what any company or organization wants when developing its own technology. From the very beginning, Viettel understands and defines very clearly that an organization that wants to stand in the high-tech market must have intellectual property.
This is the driving force for Viettel to soon research, own and register its own new technologies. As a member of Viettel Military Industry and Telecommunications Group, Viettel High-Tech Industry Corporation (VHT) operates in three main fields: military technology; telecommunications technology; and consumer equipment. This is Viettel’s main unit in the field of research and development.

Up to now, VHT has registered a total of 276 industrial property applications, of which in 2020 it completed research on 48 core technologies applied to products, registered and accepted 66 patent applications. VHT has been granted 4 new international patents by the US Patent and Trademark Administration (USPTO). VHT is also granted 19 domestic patents, 5 utility solutions and 7 exclusive designs. Along with that, VHT has 25 articles published and presented at prestigious national and international journals and scientific conferences. According to VHT Deputy General Director Nguyen Cuong Hoang, the protection of intellectual property by registering national and international patents is an important basis for VHT to be the owner of core technology, ready for integration. It has full competitiveness with international corporations, affirming Viettel’s leading position in the field of research and development of “Make in Vietnam” products. 4 VHT’s patents are protected exclusively in the US: 1. “Random data division in multiprocessor distributed systems” – OCS Research Center. 2. “Method of detecting water surface targets in noisy environment, application in coastal radar station” – Radar Center. 3. “Invention of power steering mechanism for parallel robot by spring system with constant power assist” – Center for Simulation Modeling. 4. “Method of adjusting and controlling the power of the receiving link adapting to the transmission environment in the base station system” – Broadband Radio Equipment Research Center. Mr. Nguyen Cuong Hoang said that in order to achieve success in the past period, VHT always closely follows the viewpoint in the field of research and development in the word “VTOPIC”. Specifically: V – Virtual, using simulation tools to support the research process; T – Technology, VHT determined to follow the field of research and development from core technology, latest technology (latest technology); O – Open, VHT determines the spirit of openness internally and externally, willingness to cooperate internationally, transfer technology on the basis of its own ownership; P – People, VHT holds talented engineers, in the team there are more than 30% doctors, masters from abroad, there are leading international experts from the US, Singapore, Taiwan…; C – Challenge, setting high goals and challenging is the guiding principle for development; I – Infrastructure, VHT has the most modern lab system in Vietnam and can be said to be not inferior to any country in Southeast Asia.

Broadband Radio Center Answering the question of why VHT can achieve many high-tech research and development achievements, especially the successful registration of 4 exclusive patents in the US, Mr. Nguyen Cuong Hoang said, the important issue especially their capacity and technology; Internal strength is decisive. All the results have been accumulated over 10 years of VHT. Currently, VHT has world-class products in many fields such as military, information machines, radar equipment, etc., which can completely compete with the world’s leading corporations. “If I can compete in terms of technology, there are certainly a lot of core technologies and algorithms that I can bring to register for intellectual property. Which markets do I target, I will start to register for protection in that market. The first milestone to conquer is the US, if it is already in the US, it will be much simpler in other markets because the US is the most difficult market”, said Mr. Nguyen Cuong Hoang. The VOTO driving simulation cabin system is researched and developed by VHT In the world today, the US is considered one of the countries with the most patents. Patents granted by USPTO will have to go through many of the world’s most rigorous censorship and evaluation processes. Therefore, getting a patent from this agency is an extremely difficult process. Mr. Phan Thanh Hai, Director of the Appraisal Center, Intellectual Property Department (Ministry of Science and Technology) said: In the last 5 years, the number of Viettel’s patent applications has grown continuously. The fact that Viettel has 4 US-patented patents has great significance in affirming the technological capacity and development orientation of Vietnamese enterprises. Nguyen Vu Ha, General Director of VHT affirmed: “The US patent is a recognition of inventions and scientific research, thereby, affirming that Vietnamese people can compete with corporations. major technologies such as Huawei, LG, Nokia… Intellectual property rights are affirming an indispensable role in the process of forming a comprehensive economy and sustainable development. The certificate of intellectual property rights is the evidence to ensure the success of each enterprise entering the world arena.

The second is products for telecommunications networks (for example, transceivers and core networks of 4G equipment, we are currently making 5G equipment). The third is the product of equipment for people’s daily life in the digital transformation roadmap of Viettel Group such as chip equipment for (5G, IoT, Camera AI), civil equipment for security and safety, health and education. VHT is continuously exploring both civilian and military technologies and will continue to release new technology product lines.
