True Corporation plans a soft launch of 5G wireless broadband within 2-3 months via True Move H Universal Communication (TUC) following the auction of 2600-megahertz spectrum, which is expected in the first quarter of next year.
The company has shown interest in joining the auction.
Through close collaboration with China Mobile, the world's largest mobile operator in terms of subscriber base, TUC will bring in practical use cases and solutions, adopting them to the local market faster than rivals, said Kittinut Tikawan, president of True Corporation.
TUC's parent company Charoen Pokphand (CP) could also leverage 5G use case development from China Mobile as well as support TUC through a variety of business sectors.
"China Mobile is a good role model for TUC, providing services to more than 900 million subscribers," said Mr Kittinut.
China Mobile, which is a leading commercial 5G provider, has rolled out 5G cell sites in around 40 cities in China.
More than 3,000 cell sites were installed in Chengdu.
He was speaking in Chengdu at a partnership meeting with China Mobile's representatives and said full 5G adoption in Thailand is expected by 2021, pending the development of the infrastructure, proper use cases and solution development.
