Viettel gears up for 6G with Qualcomm, Intel, AMD and ID Quantique
Viettel High Tech, the technology arm of Vietnam’s Viettel Group, has signed 6G collaboration agreements with Intel, AMD, ID Quantique and Qualcomm at Mobile World Congress 2026. The company is using these partnerships to support its roadmap to develop and commercialise its own 6G equipment by 2029.
The deals position Viettel to tap chipmakers and quantum security specialists for core technologies as it plans its next generation network hardware. Viettel aims to move beyond being only a network operator to becoming a supplier of 6G gear in its own right within the next few years.
