December 01 2022 - 9:00AM
AMD (NASDAQ: AMD) and Viettel High Tech (Member of Viettel Group)
today announced the successful completion of a 5G mobile network
field trial deployment conducted by Viettel and powered by AMD
Xilinx Zynq™ UltraScale+™ MPSoC devices. As the largest telecom
operator in Vietnam serving more than 130 million mobile customers,
Viettel High Tech has a rich history of using AMD radio technology
with prior 4G deployments and is now accelerating new networks via
new 5G remote radio heads. Designed to meet the growing capacity
and performance requirements of mobile users globally, the Viettel
5G mobile network is expected to be completed by the end of
2022.
AMD is the exclusive radio unit silicon supplier for Viettel’s
indigenous 5G radio development. After the successful completion of
the first field trial, Zynq MPSoCs are now set to be extended to an
additional 300 Macro 8T8R base stations and 900 5G 8T8R Macro
radios. The Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC was also chosen by Viettel for
its first-generation 64T64R Massive MIMO radio which is currently
being optimized for field trials. Viettel is developing the next
generation of radios to also include Zynq UltraScale+ RFSoC
devices, to provide industry-leading integration and higher
performance.
“Viettel is committed to advancing mobile technology leadership
by working closely with AMD to incorporate its adaptable SoC
technology into our new generation of 5G networks,” said Nguyen Vu
Ha, general director of Viettel High Tech. “Going from VHT's
history of making 4G BTS, this decision to scale for the growing
demands of 5G was based on evaluating various factors including
flexibility, simplification, design stability and the experience of
engineers.”
“5G provides new opportunities to offer higher levels of
performance, power efficiency and new services along with increased
reliability required to meet the growing data demands of cellular
networks,” said Yousef Khalilollahi, corporate vice president of
APAC sales, Adaptive and Embedded Computing Group, AMD. “We are
proud of our close collaboration with Viettel and remain focused on
enabling its mobile network to deliver the optimal end-user
experience as well as the flexibility to evolve and grow as
