SEOUL -- KT, one of South Korea's leading telecom companies, signed a deal with Hoa Binh, a top Vietnamese builder, to provide its artificial intelligence platform for hotels to be built in Southeast Asian countries.

The South Korean company said Tuesday that the two companies signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) on business cooperation. KT's AI speaker, GiGA Genie, will be used at new hotels in Vietnam.

In 2017, KT unveiled "GiGA Genie LTE" for use both at home and in the open air. The new device used a Harman Kardon speaker and featured an LTE router function that can be used to transfer wireless Internet from notebooks and smartphones.

KT said the deal with Hoa Binh would promote the use of its Giga Genie platform abroad. The two companies will cooperate to introduce AI technology and smart city solutions for hotels and apartments to be built in Vietnam and other Southeast Asian countries.
