The FINANCIAL — Bangkok, Thailand – Nokia and dtac are deploying the first commercial 4G TDD network in Thailand.
Once completed, dtac TURBO users on the 2300 MHz spectrum operated in cooperation with TOT will enjoy superior mobile broadband speeds. dtac TURBO will allow faster uploading and downloading of high-definition content, more stable live video streaming to enable remote healthcare and education, and high-bandwidth applications such as virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR).
Network capacity will improve for all dtac customers as dtac deploys the 4G TDD network on TOT’s 2300MHz spectrum. 4G TDD is a high-performance, cost-effective technology that offers faster internet speeds and a more stable experience when surfing the internet, watching videos and using social networks. It will put dtac on an evolutionary path to 5G, with its use of techniques such as massive MIMO, beamforming and the deployment of the Nokia AirScale platform. dtac’s subscribers will be able to enjoy higher throughput using a combination of advanced techniques, namely 3CC Carrier Aggregation, 256 QAM and 4×4 MIMO.
The network is being deployed in the Northeast, North and South of Thailand, including major provinces such as Khon Kaen, Chiang Mai, and Phuket.
As part of the 4G TDD network deployment, Nokia will provide its Nokia AirScale radios, AirScale System Modules, AirScale Active Antennas and NetAct. Nokia’s AirScale technology will be used to prepare for 5G.
Technology to be used for the deployment:
Nokia’s AirScale enables service providers to add agility and flexibility to the network and accelerates their journey towards 5G.
AirScale massive MIMO Adaptive Antenna, to deliver up to five times more network capacity, high peak downlink throughput, significantly improved uplink, and greater coverage
The 4-transmit-4-receiver (4T4R) is wireless MIMO technology which doubles the number of antennas for enhanced coverage and improved maximum downlink data rates.
Nokia NetAct virtualized network management software will provide robust capabilities for troubleshooting, assurance, administration, software management and configuration.
