Vietnam taps M1 to advance 5G tech use in maritime operations
It will also explore tele-remote control of equipment, enhanced AGV operations, and surveillance systems.
M1 Limited (M1), Vietnam Posts and Telecommunications Group (VNPT), and SSI Solutions have signed a memorandum of understanding to drive the adoption of 5G technology in Vietnam Maritime Corporation’s (VIMC) maritime operations.
The partnership will introduce advanced 5G-powered use cases to optimise operational efficiency and enhance the digital transformation of VIMC’s ports.
Additionally, the initiative will explore applications such as tele-remote control of equipment, enhanced automated guided vehicle operations, and advanced surveillance systems.
In late 2022, M1 revealed plans for an ambitious multi-year project that aims to provide comprehensive 5G standalone (SA) offshore coverage for the southern coast of Singapore, including the surrounding waters of the southern islands.
With support and co-funding from MPA and IMDA, M1 is deploying a 5G SA network to trial and develop new maritime 5G use cases under the MPA Innovation Lab and IMDA’s innovation and ecosystem testbed programme.
