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.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
