True utilises dynamic spectrum sharing to bolster 5G
The initial service boost in Bangkok's Thong Lor area marks the beginning of a continuous nationwide expansion.
DSS technology maximises spectrum allocation efficiency through flexible, real-time management in high-density areas with heavy data usage, enabling optimal service delivery for both 5G and 4G on the 2600MHz band.
This network upgrade is part of the company's network modernisation plan to support more than 14.2 million 5G subscribers nationwide -- as of the first quarter of 2025 -- and deliver superior speed and performance for both TrueMove H and dtac customers.
DSS is an intelligent technology that enables automatic, real-time, and flexible service delivery for both 5G and 4G on the 2600MHz band, proportioned in accordance with actual consumer usage.
This differs from conventional fixed-allocation approaches that require separate spectrum blocks for 5G and 4G, which can limit the full potential of the 2600MHz band for 5G when some portions are reserved for 4G without the ability to make an adjustment dynamically based on actual usage.
The key benefit of DSS is based on its real-time spectrum allocation flexibility. For example, in situations where 5G users are densely concentrated in a particular area, DSS technology can allocate the entire 2600MHz band for optimal 5G performance.
However, if circumstances change and 4G usage increases within the same area, the system will flexibly adjust the proportion of the 2600MHz spectrum to accommodate increased 4G demand, responding to customer needs in real time.
This ensures spectrum allocation is optimised according to the usage demands of both 5G and 4G users at any given time.
Furthermore, True Corporation's acquisition of 70MHz of the 2300MHz spectrum to enhance its portfolio enables the use of the 2300MHz mid-band spectrum for 4G services, while preserving the full potential of the 2600MHz band for 5G.
As a result, both 5G and 4G users will experience superior network performance, going beyond previous limits.
True Corporation selected Thong Lor as the first location for the full-performance 5G service with DSS technology because it is one of Bangkok's high-potential neighbourhoods, seamlessly integrating business, lifestyle, and urban living. It serves as an international experience hub, highly popular among young professionals, businesspeople, and expatriates.
Sigve Brekke, group CEO of True Corporation, together with a team of network engineers and specialists, conducted an on-site visit to Thong Lor to jointly test and monitor the use of 5G with DSS technology.
This visit marked the beginning of True's continued rollout of high-performance 5G and 4G network upgrades in key target areas nationwide.
True remains committed to enhancing Thailand's digital telecom infrastructure by maximising the use of its spectrum portfolio and new technologies.
This includes improving network speed and stability, expanding service coverage, and strengthening capabilities to support emerging technologies.

True Corp charts AI roadmap
True Corporation has outlined a clear path for Thailand to take a leadership role in the artificial intelligence (AI) era, emphasising the need for comprehensive development in four key areas: infrastructure and technology, high-quality data, talent and leadership, and strong policy and governance. Speaking on Friday at the 'Bangkok Post Forum 2025: Shaping the Future Economy in the New Global Order', on Friday, True Corp Group CEO Sigve Brekke said the nation already has a strong foundation in digital infrastructure. With advanced technology platforms, a robust fibre network, solid telecom systems and the adoption of 5G, it is well-positioned to compete. However, Mr Brekke stressed that further investment is necessary to maintain momentum and prepare for the next wave of technological transformation. He also highlighted the importance of data as a national asset. For Thailand to fully harness AI, both the government and private sector must prioritise making data usable — organising and structuring it to ensure it can be effectively applied across industries. In addition, Mr Brekke emphasised the urgent need to develop digital talent. He noted that younger generations are increasingly drawn to workplaces that offer personal and professional growth, not just job security. He also urged businesses to invest in talent development and upskilling, and called on government agencies to ensure that all employees possess basic technological and AI skills. Introducing AI education in middle schools, he said, should also be part of the national agenda. He further stressed that a supportive policy environment is essential. Governments must craft clear AI strategies and foster ecosystems where startups can thrive. He underlined the importance of trust in AI systems, arguing that public confidence must be established from the outset. As people become more aware of how their data is collected, stored and used, strong governance frameworks will be even more crucial. While regulation is necessary, Mr Brekke said it must be paired with transparent, ethical and inclusive AI development practices, as well as defined data sovereignty policies. On the topic of leadership, he described how today's rapidly changing world requires leaders who can make bold decisions, adapt quickly and foster unity. He explained that in an era where change is exponential, waiting for perfect information is no longer viable. Instead, leaders must act with vision and purpose, stay open to learning and build inclusive teams grounded in trust and emotional connection. Mr Brekke concluded by reflecting on the unprecedented speed of technological advancement. While it took three decades for mobile phones to evolve into smartphones, generative AI reached mainstream adoption in just five years. This shift, he said, demonstrates that change today is no longer linear — it is exponential, and Thailand must be ready to move just as quickly.
