Two months of construction was needed to complete the first phase of Nghia Lo smart city monitoring centre. The high-tech project was undertaken by the Military Industry and Telecommunications Group (Viettel). 

In the first phase, the centre will make use of the core software system to operate, standardize and integrate basic data, including "Nghia Lo Smart" app right to citizens’ smartphones.

In the second and third phases, the centre will connect citizens to the Provincial Smart City Operation Center. These phases allow access to information on the management and administration of the province and town. The application will also serve to integrate the province's shared platforms and databases into the center. This will allow for the optimization of databases to automatically update the town's socio-economic data sources to the center for people and businesses. The ultimate goal is to develop Nghia Lo into a grade 3 urban center as a town of culture and tourism in the near future.
