FPT and Dien Quang Lamp Joint Stock Company, two national brands, signed a co-operation agreement on June 20 to develop smart electrical and lighting equipment using IoT (Internet of Things) technology.

FPT will be responsible for developing the entire application control software on mobile devices, coordinating with Dien Quang to write embedded software for collaborative products and building libraries and programming protocols for partners to develop new solutions via a cloud-based platform.

Meanwhile, Dien Quang will be responsible for researching and developing hardware, including electronic devices and circuits, as well as for product manufacturing.

Speaking at the ceremony, FPT general director Bui Quang Ngoc said promoting the application of new technology, including IoT, was one of FPT’s important strategic orientations.

With the software technology capabilities, FPT expects to collaborate with larger equipment manufacturers of Viet Nam to create more value-added services, increasing competitive advantage for businesses,” said Ngoc.

Ho Quynh Hung, chairman of the board of directors and general director of Dien Quang Lamp JSC, said with the strength of each party, the company expected the cooperation with FPT to promote the application of advanced technology and create hi-tech products to meet consumers’ demand and improve exports. — VNS
