Trairat Viriyasirikul, acting secretary-general of the NBTC, said Thailand is perceived to have handled the outbreak well because of its outstanding public healthcare sector, partly thanks to 5G network infrastructure installation, which took place a few months after the 5G spectrum licence auction was held in February. The committee should also promote local OTT platforms, embedded with 5G tech, for everyday use, said Mr Trairat. "AIS is committed to creating a 5G tech network as the new infrastructure of the country through the Eastern Economic Corridor [EEC] project and core sectors," said Mr Somchai. All ground, air and marine sectors in the EEC need to be supported with 5G tech to allow for a boost in operations, he said. Piroon Paireepairit, head of the 5G working group of True Corporation, said the company has a vision to use 5G tech to accommodate all people, particularly in the public health sector.
