Pegatron 5G demonstrated the power of its private 5G solution in a deployment at one of its smart factories in Vietnam. The company worked with Viettel, Vietnam’s largest telecom company, to build Pegatron 5G’s first overseas all-5G smart factory in Hai Phong, Vietnam. Based on Intel’s broad private 5G product portfolio, the factory’s network provided broad-based connectivity for flexibility and mobility, high throughput and low latency. It provides connectivity for a large number of devices and implements zero-trust security.
Pegatron and Viettel, the biggest Vietnamese telecom company, held a joint press conference in Haiphong city on the afternoon of July 20th, announcing the establishment of Vietnam's first 5G smart factory. This is also the first all-5G smart factory established by Pegatron in overseas in Vietnam.
Attendees of the press conference included Mr. Hoàng Minh Cường, the Deputy Chairman of Haiphong City People’s Committee, Mr. Đào Xuân Vũ, the Deputy CEO of Viettel Group, Mr. Nguyen Manh Ho, the CEO of Viettel Solutions, Mr. Nguyen Dat, the CEO of Viettel Networks , major companies within the industrial zone of Haiphong (covering areas like telecommunications, consumer manufacturing, ships, railways, aviation, etc.), and numerous media reporters. Pegatron was represented by CY Feng, the General Manager of BG6, who leads the 5G team.
As the operator with the highest market share in Vietnam, Viettel has always been at the forefront in mastering and developing new technologies and is the first operator in Vietnam to deploy 5G SA (Standalone) networks. On April 27, 2023, Viettel obtained permission from Vietnam's Ministry of Information and Communications to begin testing its 5G private mobile network service (referred by Viettel as 5G PMN). After a quick three-month deployment, Viettel officially announced that it had successfully deployed the 5G PMN in the factory located in Haiphong city, in collaboration with Pegatron.
With Pegatron's 5G technology (PEGATRON 5G) as the backbone, supplemented by Pegatron's self-developed edge computing server (PEGATRON SVR) and years of AI software application capabilities (PEGA AI), they aim to achieve a golden triangle combination of software, hardware, and technology. This aligns with Pegatron's recent efforts to promote digital transformation centered around 5G, Edge, and AI. Due to the need for flexibility throughout the enterprise from planning to production implementation, and the ability to flexibly deploy, quickly update, and automatically operate all production processes, Pegatron's 5G network system deployed in the smart factory not only upgrades the network but also combines practical applications to solve manufacturing problems, speeding up efficiency and promoting safety. The first phase introduced a 5G wireless network, improved production line deployment speed and flexibility, and used Digital Twins technology to simulate deployment situations with virtual models, reducing deployment costs, and improving efficiency. Pegatron also introduced multiple applications in the Vietnam factory as follows:
Vision AI (AI visual recognition platform)
This is an AI platform developed by Pegatron, which provides a simple step-by-step interface that allows users to quickly introduce various AI applications into their own systems. It also provides a complete backend tracking service. Currently, Pegatron has introduced it into monitoring and security systems, and in the future, it can be widely applied to abnormal behavior detection, smoke and flame detection, and energy-saving systems.
Assembly Monitoring (real-time production line monitoring system)
Pegatron's visual recognition system can accurately detect whether the assembly sequence of the production line workers is correct, and give real-time alarms and statistics, feeding back to the production line and central system, effectively improving the yield rate. It is also applied to the detection of various stages of product assembly, not only assisting staff to work quickly but also reducing labor costs.
AR Collaboration (remote collaboration)
The introduction of Microsoft's AR Dynamics 365 (an augmented reality video call solution) allows professional engineers from all over the world to instruct on-site staff remotely and clearly on assembly operations and troubleshooting.
At the press conference, CY Feng, the General Manager of Pegatron's BG6, showed Pegatron's determination for 5G and intelligent manufacturing. He pointed out that applying 5G PMN to the production line is a new global trend. Pegatron is at the forefront of bringing this technology to Vietnam's production line, hoping to improve factory efficiency and move production and manufacturing towards a more efficient, modern, intelligent, and safe process. Viettel is a strategic partner of Pegatron, and Pegatron believes that through this cooperation, they can meet the infrastructure needs of smart factories and the extended needs of subsequent application services. 5G PMN of Pegatron's Vietnam factory will be fully deployed by the end of 2023, and it is expected to replicate its successful experience to its own factories in Indonesia, Mexico, and even India in 2024. At the same time, it can use its own experience to lead and assist local Vietnamese enterprises in digital transformation, making Pegatron 5G an important push towards the future.

PEGATRON showcases the latest 5G core technologies and applications, as well as three new generation servers, at the 2023 Smart City Exhibition. The exhibition theme is to combine key technologies such as 5G communication technology, edge computing, AI, and satellite communication to provide products and solutions covering the two major areas of digital resilience and smart manufacturing.
PEGATRON is set to showcase its latest 5G technologies and three new-generation servers at the 2023 Smart City Expo, which will run from March 28 to March 31. The company's booth will feature a range of products and solutions related to digital resilience and smart manufacturing, all integrating key technologies such as 5G communication, edge computing, AI, and satellite communication.
One of the servers, the Ramone, is a 1U server specially designed for 5G mobile base stations. It features a compact size, wide temperature range, low noise, and high integration, making it a complete solution for PEGATRON's second-generation mobile base stations. The server can also be connected to Microsoft Azure Space for medium earth orbit (MEO) or low earth orbit (LEO) satellite communication, providing flexible and quick-deployment network communication capabilities. This makes it ideal for use in scenarios such as public safety and disaster relief, rural communication, and offshore mining.
Another server, the Ellington, is a 2U server that uses the fourth-generation Intel® Xeon® scalable processor. As a storage server, it can flexibly support up to 24 NVMe SSDs or 16 HDDs and eight NVMe SSDs to meet the diverse storage needs of 5G networks at the edge. The Ellington can also support dual GPUs for AI inference at the edge, and can be used in conjunction with Microsoft Azure Private 5G Core (AP5GC) to form a comprehensive solution. This solution has already been deployed in PEGATRON's new factory in Taiwan and was showcased for the first time at the 2023 Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain.
The third server, the Luigi, is a high-flexibility edge computing server that uses AMD EPYC™ 9004 series server processors to achieve a high-density design with 384 cores in a 1U 2N2P form factor, which can cater to different application needs.
At the expo, PEGATRON will demonstrate a variety of AI applications, including the MEC Vision AI platform for smart visual edge computing systems that provide real-time and high-precision video and image recognition. The digital twins AOI system leverages advanced AI technologies such as machine learning and deep learning to achieve virtual-real fusion and system intelligence. The AR Co-Robot, which is equipped with augmented reality (AR) technology, can perform intelligent decision-making through AI and operate autonomously in industrial production scenarios, while workers can operate it in a more intuitive way to further improve work efficiency.
PEGATRON will continue to collaborate with its strong partners, including Microsoft and Intel, and expand its applications to other industries, such as green energy and cybersecurity. As a leader in 5G communication technology and related applications, PEGATRON is committed to creating a people-centered future.
