For the first time in Vietnam, 4.0 technologies of image processing and AI are applied to assist farmers to assess levels of the development of rice. Viettel's solution can monitor rice cultivation on a large scale, creating a premise for high productivity mass production.

In the field of health, Viettel is about to complete final-stage testing of its application in the lab that helps analyse and diagnose disorders and abnormalities  through ultrasound images. Its diagnostic imaging-based application will be available to both patients and doctors round the clock. In the current period, Viettel’s application focuses on diagnosing abnormalities in the digestive system – one of big medical issues in Vietnam without the aid of foreign techniques.

Besides agriculture and health, Viettel is also developing AI products for forestry and transport. The application of AI solutions to address social challenges is an important part of Viettel's  strategy to create a digital society. Viettel's products aim to serve all kinds of clients, including individuals, businesses and State agencies.

Since the beginning of 2019, Viettel has continuously established member companies such as Viettel Enterprise Solutions Corporation, Viettel Cyber ​​Security Company, and is expected to set up Digital Corporation to bring digital products and services to life.

Up to now, Viettel is still the only enterprise in Vietnam that has had sufficient conditions to deploy telecommunications and ICT services and products to all walks of life as it has the widest 4G infrastructure, the largest fiber optic infrastructure, its NB-IoT system listed among the top50 network operators in the world and the first e-sim issuance system in Vietnam.
