AIS Starts LTE Trials in Bangkok
Published on:
Thailand's AIS has started non-commercial trials of its LTE network in Bangkok and Maha Sarakham province.
AIS is using 20Mhz of spectrum provided by the state-owned telco, TOT from its 2.3Ghz allocation. A total of 20 LTE base stations are located in central Bangkok for the trial.
AIS is running another trial with CAT Telecom using its 1800MHz spectrum. A total of 8 LTE base stations are located in Maha Sarakham.
The telecoms regulator, the NBTC has allowed all mobile operators to apply for 4G testing, but only AIS applied. The regulator still hasn't formally awarded 3G licenses yet, but the operators are offering services by refarming some of their 2G spectrum.
3G licenses may be awarded around the middle of this year.
