Thai communications service provider True selected Ericsson as 5G Radio Access Network (RAN) vendor as part of its national 5G network. Products and services from Ericsson Radio System will allow True to operate 5G on 700MHz, 2.6GHz and 26GHz frequencies in the North, Central-West, and Upper South regions of Thailand. Roll-out got underway in March immediately following Ericsson’s selection as a 5G vendor.
Ericsson’s selection by True follows successful 5G test bed and technology showcases jointly organised by the companies in multiple locations in Thailand. The companies worked together since 2017 to demonstrate 5G's benefits for Thai consumers and enterprises.
The deployment includes active antenna products to support beam-forming functions that reduce wireless signal interference and improve 5G speed. In addition, True will benefit from increased system capacity and improved 5G user experience through 4G/5G dual connectivity and LTE-New Radio downlink data aggregation functions.
