NBTC Plans to Use 3500 MHz Frequency for 5G Services in Thailand

Mr. Sompob Purivikraipong Broadcasting Committee television business And the National Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) in the field of telecommunication revealed that the NBTC plans to use the 3500 megahertz (3.5 gigahertz) frequency, which is approximately 400 megahertz, used in 5G services due to It is a spectrum with wide bandwidth and coverage, especially in densely populated urban areas. In the past, there was a discussion with the mobile operator (operator) Thaicom satellite. cable TV providers, black plates, etc., with such frequencies being recalled. that is idle to perform to be ready for Telecom operators who want to use the spectrum in the future

“The NBTC is planning on the 3500 MHz spectrum currently being used by satellite and cable operators. did not set a criterion that the bidding price must be high but will focus on using the waves effectively Because if the auction price is high, the burden will fall on the consumer. But if the price is too low, it may be considered. benefiting the private sector Therefore, there must be a balance. or find a good balance From what we have talked about, there are companies National Telecommunications Public Company Limited or NT who is interested in AIS is not clearly interested. Because in the past, investing in spectrum auctions has already spent a lot of money.”

Mr. Sompob said that in the past, the team has conducted a survey at the regional level and found that the spectrum auction Thailand’s prices are very high. But according to the law’s framework, it is necessary to use an auction method. If not bidding, it must depend on 3 cases: 1. There is a lot of surplus spectrum, 2. It is used for security and 3. It is used for public interest. non-business Which is now in my personal opinion. If it is useful, it may be auctioned in a big lot, for example, a single 300 MHz, etc., which may help new foreign telecom operators. interested in joining the auction By coming to find a partner in Thailand and hold 49% of the shares according to the framework of Thai law However, this concept I will not leave the private network by bringing about 100 megahertz of 3500 megahertz to various business and industrial associations. who are interested in joining the auction

Due to the industry and business if contacting the operator For example, Toyota in Japan already has a private network in Japan. But when coming to Thailand, it’s stuck. The problem is that there is no wave to use. Enough to contact the operator. But the operator is not sure. when investing in networks and systems And will it be worth it or not? may use the concept to the Federation of Thai Industries form a sub-association Bid for a narrow range of brand widths to bring 5G to support the industry.
