Thailand is expected to end this year with a 5G coverage of over 85% of the country’s population, local carrier True’s Co-Chief Commercial Officer, Tanaphon Manavutiveth, said.
During a keynote presentation at Huawei’s 13th Global Mobile Broadband Forum (MBBF) being held this week in Bangkok, Thailand, the executive said that Thai operators will provide 5G to nearly 10 million subscribers by the end of the year.
In his presentation, Manavutiveth said that the rapid adoption of 5G in Thailand is chiefly driven by the early release of 5G spectrum, fast network rollout by local telcos, and 5G device availability in the local market as well as the support by the local government.
