Thailand Communications 5G Base Station Project

What is a 4G/5G agreement?

These agreements aim to enhance and expand the 4G/5G capabilities of both NT and AIS. In this agreement, AWN, on behalf of AIS, will establish a 4G/5G network on the 700 MHz spectrum with a total of 13,500 base stations within 2 years.

What should Thailand do for 5G and 5g-a development?

It is therefore important for Thailand to maintain momentum and prioritise the following actions for 5G and 5G-A development: — Make at least 300 MHz of spectrum available in the globally harmonised 3.5 GHz band as soon as practicable. Avoid unnecessarily large guard band between mobile and fixed satellite service (FSS).

When did 5G start in Thailand?

Thailand’s first 5G spectrum auction was held in February 2020 for frequencies in the 700 MHz, 2.6 GHz and 26 GHz bands. Both AIS43and TrueMove H44deployed their 5G networks after the spectrum auction in early 2020, using their newly purchased 2.6 GHz spectrum. DTAC launched 5G services using their 700 MHz spectrum holdings in February 2021.45

What is the 5G infrastructure market in Thailand?

The 5G Infrastructure market in Thailand is a pivotal component in the country digital transformation. With the rollout of 5G networks, Thailand is poised to experience a significant boost in connectivity, enabling IoT, smart cities, and improved mobile services.

Is 5G a roadmap for success in Thailand?

ACCELERATING 5G AND 5G-ADVANCED IN THAILAND: A ROADMAP FOR SUCCESS The key challenge is the current use of the extended C-band (3.4–3.7 GHz) and standard C-band (3.7–4.2 GHz) frequencies for satellite services in Thailand, as there are an estimated 10 million or more TVRO services in operation, according to the NBTC.

How many 5G connections are there in Thailand in Q2 2024?

In Q2 2024, 26.6% of connections were 5G connections and 5G coverage reached 95% of the population.2 Mobile data traffic per connection in Thailand is among the highest in ASEAN. Yet, more work is needed to ensure there are sufficient spectrum resources to support the next phase of 5G development, especially in the crucial mid-band range (1–7 GHz).
