Accelerating 5G and 5G-Advanced in Thailand: A roadmap
This report takes a closer look at the state of 5G and 5G-A spectrum planning in Thailand and discusses the key issues and challenges in securing sufficient spectrum resources for 5G,
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.
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).
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.
Recommendation: 3.5 GHz band– As detailed above, there are significant challenges for Thailand to make the 3.5 GHz band available for 5G services, especially in the amounts needed to address the shortfall in mid-band spectrum.
