To be a leading telecommunications operator that closely responds to demands of its customer and the general public in both economic and social aspects.

• To provide telecommunications services with innovative and timely response to customer requirements

• To sustain information assurance for national security • To enable information and public service availability of the people with quality, equality, and

accessibility in compliance with economic and social conditions

• Thai citizens have access to TOT 3G (2100 MHz) network which covers almost the entire country • TOT customers can access the highest speeds on the latest devices, tablets, and smartphones • HSPA+ (High Speed Packet Access Plus) 42/11 Mbps in Bangkok and Metropolitan Area • HSPA+ (High Speed Packet Access Plus) 21/11 Mbps upcountry

Investment Benefits on National Economy • Increase Broadband Coverage • Reduce Telecommunications Cost • Improve Service Quality • Extend Access to ICT Services • Enhance Quality of Life

Network Rollout Plan • Made on the criteria basis of population density, gross provincial product per capital,

and current penetration rate of existing service providers to maximize revenue generation opportunity while minimizing risk.

TOT Vision on 3G

Smart Thailand • Expand broadband coverage to 80% of population by 2015 and

95% by 2020

• Require ~ Bt80 billion investment of Backbone and Backhaul Smart Network

• Smart Education, Health, Government, Agriculture, e.g., Smart Card, Smart City, etc.

• In 2010, E-transaction in Thailand circulates ~Bt1.2hundred trillion

• Require collaboration among government agencies

Smart Government

• Business Matching • National e-Business Registry Smart Business

• ICT Academy Smart People

ICT is an important driver towards a stronger economy, social equality, and environmental friendliness

• Currently, TOT is at HSPA+ 42 Mbps where we are studying the next step towards LTE. Then after LTE–A where carrier aggregation on multiple frequencies.

• Multi-frequency bands are important to support the network evolution path strategy

M2M & Cloud: Strong connected device business momentum

Network evolution roadmap Consider small cell technology, LTE, and carrier aggregation technology such as LTE-A to ensure the high capacity and network performance requirements from Gov’t projects and consumers in years to come

Phase II and beyond • Phase II focuses on capacity & nationwide

coverage, filling in coverage holes inc. highway, rural, village, rain tree, national park,

islands • Ensure that coverage is enough by roaming as

now already with AIS2G (esp. for voice) and CAT

M2M applications • M2M applications, everything at home is SIMed,

Metrics, surveillance, cars,

Next steps …

Significant growth Ensure to be on top of the data exploration trend 1GB per user per day in 2020
