What Viettel Telecom does

Viettel Telecom is a Vietnamese state-owned telecommunications provider operating as a branch of Viettel Group (Tập đoàn Công nghiệp - Viễn thông Quân đội), a military telecommunications conglomerate under Vietnamese government ownership. Established in 2005 and headquartered in Hanoi, the company delivers mobile voice, SMS, and 4G/5G data services, fiber-to-home internet, digital television (TV360), and a portfolio of connected consumer hardware (smartwatches, smart motors, home cameras) to individual consumers and SMEs across Vietnam. Beyond consumer offerings, it sells enterprise ICT and IoT solutions through dedicated business sales channels and an SME portal.

The company's underlying technology spans a full-stack ecosystem developed end-to-end by Vietnamese engineers, including 5G Open RAN infrastructure, 5G NTN via LEO satellites, and connectivity solutions for low-altitude eVTOL/UAV ecosystems. Revenue is generated primarily through recurring subscription packages (daily to 360-day mobile plans, monthly internet tiers up to 1 Gbps, and value-added services), one-time hardware sales, and enterprise managed services. The My Viettel app, viettel.vn e-commerce site, and Viettel Shop physical retail network distribute consumer offerings, while the SME portal handles business sales.

At MWC Barcelona 2026 (ninth consecutive participation), Viettel showcased 24 products and signed cooperation agreements with Qualcomm, Cisco, Nokia, ZTE, Texas Instruments, Amdocs, ByteDance, and Aduna Global. Viettel Telecom carries a brand value of $5.8 billion, ranking #1 in Southeast Asia and #28 globally among telecom brands, and is among the top 15 fastest-growing telecom companies worldwide.
