Ericsson says that it has signed a three year frame contract with True Move H to enhance further rollout of LTE A Carrier Aggregation and 2G 3G networks on 900 1800 2100MHz spectrum in North, Central West, and South Thailand.
As part of the contract, Ericsson will deploy its multi-standard radio equipment using the new Ericsson Radio System and Ericsson RBS 6000 base station family for macro and small cells. Ericsson indoor small cell solutions include the Ericsson Radio Dot System for medium and large buildings, and the Ericsson RBS 6402 Indoor Picocell for smaller buildings.
According to the South East Asia and Oceania edition of the Ericsson Mobility Report, smartphone penetration in Thailand will be more than 90 percent by 2018, compared to around 60 percent at the end of 2015. With recent 4G/LTE auctions, LTE subscriptions in Thailand will reach around 30 percent of total mobile subscriptions by 2018.
