During the five-day exhibition, Viettel High Tech signed a cooperation agreement with Karel Electronics to test and integrate its 5G private network solutions into highly secure military communication environments. Barış Bilir, Business Development Director at Karel Electronics, shared that the two sides’ capabilities are highly complementary; while Viettel excels in end-to-end 5G solutions, Karel Electronics possesses strengths in military communication coordination systems, creating a basis for future integrated models.

Simultaneously, Viettel High Tech expanded its 5G cooperation with ULAK Communications. Building on the successful integration of 5G base station equipment, the two parties will proceed with integration on the N78 band and target testing on the network infrastructures of Turkcell and Turk Telekom in the next phase. General Manager of ULAK Communications Sami Duman highly valued Viettel’s capabilities and expected early practical network deployment.
General Director of Viettel High Tech Nguyen Minh Quang stated that the enterprise is pursuing an open cooperation strategy, co-developing and integrating technologies with local partners. The combination of Türkiye’s telecommunications infrastructure localization strategy and Viettel’s practical 5G deployment experience has created a solid foundation for long-term collaboration, especially as Türkiye prepares to roll out 5G starting in April 2026.

Within the framework of SAHA 2026, Viettel High Tech also expanded partnerships with leading regional defense contractors (STM, SDT, ASPILSAN, HAVELSAN, etc.) in electronic warfare, UAVs, anti-UAV systems, high-power lasers, and battlefield reconnaissance. The focus is on Viettel’s multi-layered anti-UAV systems, which combine radar, optoelectronics, soft-kill, and hard-kill capabilities. Instead of solely exporting finished products, Viettel’s approach aims for long-term industrial cooperation, providing subsystems, and integrating technologies.
