PHUKET: 5G coverage across the island is already nearing 100% with only lesser populated areas remaining to be connected, as hopes run high that the new level of connectivity will help lure many different types of businesses not dependent on tourism to start up on the island.

 

Full 100% coverage is expected to be completed by the middle of next year, explained Pracha Asawateera, Southern Area Manager of Digital Economy Promotion Agency (DEPA, based in Phuket. As such, Mr Pracha is the DEPA Area Manager for all of Southern Thailand.

 

“Presently, the 5G network coverage is nearly 100% on Phuket island. We plan to complete 100% coverage in the middle of 2021,” he said.

Can't see many big companies relocationg or starting up in Phuket just because of 5G.

Amazing, is there anything that the 5G panacea is not useful for?

So few specific applications where this new mobile internet is necessary.

How long can I survive with a non 5G cell phone :biggrin:

I wonder that....why do I need anything faster than 4G?.......I have been told that it is the essential step forward in driverless cars!!!!!!

 

...and if any country were to benefit from driverless cars it has to be Thailand.
