ZTE Seals 5G Innovation Cooperation Agreement

“True is ready to support the sustainable intelligence development of Thailand. True Group, with the strong collaboration with leading domestic and world-class international partners, is the only operator that has the complete range and coverage of 7 frequency bands, as well as the smart 5G technology with extensive network coverage of 77 provinces in Thailand,” said Manat Manavutiveth, president of True Group. “Under such circumstances, we are delighted to form the cooperation with ZTE to jointly drive network and infrastructure development and bring changes to the telecommunication sector in various dimensions.”

“One of the highlights is the joint innovation lab at True Digital Park, reflecting True Group’s intention to focus on innovation development to create value for society and the country as well as our potentials and expertise in True Lab Innovation Centers located in the famous universities across the country. What’s more, the cooperation in the ‘Super South+’ Project in Phuket will help improve mobile network to serve the tourism industry in the southern area, which is one of the major destinations for tourists in Thailand. We are confident that this cooperation will create a complete True5G eco-system, develop innovation technology for maximum benefits as well as strengthening True5G genius network in order to sustainably enhance the life quality and provide ultimate experiences for Thai people and forge Thailand ahead to digital transformation,” added Manavutiveth.

“ZTE continues to practice its own positioning as a driver of digital economy and insists on continuous technological innovation. Through joint innovation, ZTE will give full play to ZTE ‘s advantages in 5G technology, R&D innovation and 5G industry application,” said Mei Zhonghua, senior vice president of ZTE Corporation. “We are deploying minimalist, green, low-carbon and intelligent 5G networks for True in southern Thailand. To meet the needs of numerous islands and offshore operations in south Thailand, we provide customized ultra-long-distance coverage products, which will enable 5G coverage to reach 100KM over the sea and high-speed 5G digital services for tourists and marine operations.”

Moving forward, the joint innovation lab will also expand to local ecological partners to form end-to-end 5G innovative applications, further empowering industry verticals. From local pilot to mature promotion, the lab – by forming a 5G ecosystem with cross-industry integration – will further change the production method, create greater economic value for Thailand and support Thailand’s digital transformation to achieve the “Digital Thailand” vision.
