A new 4G roaming deal between CAT/True Move, will see True pay a rental fee of THB 4.1 bn in cash to CAT within 8 years for the use of CAT’s 850MHz spectrum, and a barter deal (valued at THB 5.2 bn) giving CAT access to some of True’s 4G network on 1800/2100MHz within 10 years.

According to True’s conditions, the 4G roaming agreement is exclusively for CAT, i.e. none the MVNOs will be able to use it.

TOT selected DTAC, as its partner to deploy 4G LTE services using the 64MHz TOT was given by NBTC on the 2300MHz band. The proposal is a copy of the TRUE/CAT 850MHz setup, and involves DTAC’s wholly owned subsidiary TriNet purchasing 60% of TOT’s capacity for a fixed annual payment of THB 4.5 billion.

TOT/DTAC aims to sign a final agreement in Q4 2017, after securing approvals from the relevant government agencies.

In September 2016, TOT and AWN, a subsidiary of AIS, signed a 6 month trial contract where AWN would roam on TOT’s 2100MHz network.

If a permanent deal is agreed and approved by relevant agencies, AWN will add 11,000 base stations to TOT’s existing 5,320 bringing the total to 16.320. AWN will then purchase 80% on a wholesale / resale basis, of the total bandwidth capacity to serve its own subscribers, and pay TOT an annual fee of THB 3.9 billion.

In June 2017 AWN was switched with Super Broadband Network (SBN) another subsidiary of AIS.

TOT will use parts of the remaining 20% capacity for its TOT 3G, and wholesale the rest to MVNOs.

The availability of unlicensed spectrum is crucial for the operation of many different short-range devices. In Thailand, there are no unlicensed bands for radio communication but NBTC permits the use of short-range devices under the class license approach. These devices need to comply with NTC standards and operate below the maximum power stipulated.
