Nextwaves Industries: Pioneering Made in Vietnam RFID Technology for Global Markets

Nextwaves Industries has established itself as a trailblazer in Vietnam's technology landscape, becoming the country's first domestic vertical integrator in the RFID sector. This pioneering company specializes in designing and manufacturing a comprehensive range of RFID equipment and components, bringing the "Made in Vietnam" label to global technology markets.

Founded with a vision to create a Vietnamese RFID Innovation Ecosystem, Nextwaves Industries handles the entire antenna design and production process in-house. This comprehensive approach covers PCB layout, substrate selection, hardware fabrication, and performance testing such as VSWR, gain, and radiation pattern, ensuring strict quality control over each prototype and shortening the design adjustment cycle.

The company's product portfolio includes a diverse range of antennas including far field, near field, spiral, patch, and directional antennas. Nextwaves offers complete UHF RFID solutions, including antennas, inlay tags, readers, and software, enabling customers to build fully integrated systems optimized for cost and efficiency. Their RFID Readers operate at standard frequencies of 866-868MHz (EU) and 902-928MHz (FCC), ensuring international compatibility, while supporting the EPC Class 1 Gen 2 (ISO18000-6C) protocol for high compatibility with global standards.

With a team of 20 skilled engineers, Nextwaves has developed over 50 antenna models and holds more than 20 patents and research publications in wave transmission and antenna design. The company's technical expertise is led by founder Dr. Nguyen Trong Nghia, who earned his Ph.D. from the University of Adelaide and was recognized as one of Australia's Top 40 Early Career Researchers in 2021. Dr. Nghia has received multiple Best Paper Awards at IEEE conferences and serves as a Top Reviewer for IEEE Transactions and Letters, as well as an Associate Editor of IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation.

Since 2023, Nextwaves has been showcasing Vietnamese ingenuity in over 10 countries, with an international presence spanning the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, European Union countries, Japan, India, Singapore, Thailand, Australia, Chile, and Angola. The company has implemented projects across Vietnam, from Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, and Da Nang to major industrial zones in Bac Ninh, Binh Duong, and Dong Nai.

Nextwaves Industries offers several competitive advantages in the global market, including customizable designs tailored to real customer needs, reliable products thoroughly tested for long-term performance in demanding conditions, and scalable solutions allowing flexible expansion while maintaining stable performance. The company provides cost-effective solutions with prices 10-15% lower than imported alternatives, 24/7 local technical support, and fast delivery within 7-10 days compared to 30-45 days for imports.

Currently, Nextwaves Industries is participating in Startup Wheels 2025, where it has already reached the top 100 competitors, further cementing its position as a leader in Vietnam's technology innovation landscape. This achievement highlights the company's growing recognition and its contribution to Vietnam's digital transformation journey.

As Nextwaves Industries continues to expand its global footprint, it remains committed to its vision of establishing a Vietnamese technology brand in Southeast Asian and global markets, demonstrating that locally designed and manufactured technology can compete on the world stage while addressing the specific needs of both domestic and international customers.
