Telenor’s operation in Thailand, dtac, has now launched TriNet - 3 smart networks in one. This is a significant step in their aim to provide “Internet for All”.
The TriNet 3 Smart Networks in One incorporates the use of the 850 MHz, 1800 MHz and 2100 MHz frequency bands, providing the greatest bandwidth in the Thai telecom industry. This accommodates more users and supports a wide range of mobile devices. Thai customers can expect better clarity of sound, smoother signal transmission and faster broadband speeds.
TriNet is an intelligent network with the ability to switch between the three frequencies, automatically selecting the frequency that best suits customers’ network usage at the moment. With these unique capabilities in the market, dtac is taking the lead in defining the new industry standard.
“This is the perfect moment for us to enter the new era since everything comes together – our network is ready to serve new customer demands, a wide range of devices are available and affordable for all, the industry has transitioned from concession to license, we have the world’s best technology in our network, and we are ready for content services and maintain a strong customer centricity strategy,” said Jon Eddy Abdullah, CEO, during the TriNet launch event.
Internet for all
Upon the launch of TriNet, dtac introduced the new slogan ‘Internet for All’, which derives from the commitment to bring internet access across the country. dtac aims to contribute to the creation of a better future in which the Thai people have equal access to information and opportunity. In addition, dtac has launched a new service offering called ‘More Choice’, allowing customers to match call and data packages based on their usage.
The commercial launch of 3G on 2.1 GHz will be in June. dtac is now in the final stage of testing the network to ensure the best and most seamless service. 5,000 base stations will be installed by end of 2013, giving dtac the capacity to serve growing customer demand that is expected to lead to company’s 3G subscriber base rising from 3.5 million to 10 million this year.
