AIS, Bangkok Land Deploy 5G Network Across Muang Thong
AIS and Bangkok Land are transforming Muang Thong into Thailand's first smart city prototype with 5G networks, fiber broadband, and integrated digital infrastructure across the 4,000-rai development.
AIS and Bangkok Land have announced a strategic partnership to upgrade the Muang Thong area—spanning over 4,000 rai—into Thailand's prototype smart city using 5G, broadband, and enterprise solutions. Under the concept "Muang Thong NEXT: The Smart & Connected City," the collaboration aims to transform Muang Thong from a national event and conference hub into a connectivity hub that integrates all urban ecosystems including residential living, workplaces, education, entertainment, business, events, transportation, security, and future economic opportunities.
AIS will provide network capabilities, technology, and digital platforms across multiple dimensions. These include nationwide 5G-Advanced coverage using frequency aggregation to boost speed and strength while reducing latency, supporting dense usage in large venues and concerts; upgrading households to Smart Living with AIS 3BB Fibre3 and WiFi 7 standards for smart homes, remote work, and telemedicine; delivering business transformation through Hyper Connectivity, Sovereign Cloud, Data Center, and AI Solutions; and enhancing IMPACT's concert and event experiences with WiFi and connectivity systems supporting thousands of attendees, plus 5G VIP Ultra and Boost Mode services.
The digital infrastructure will extend to comprehensive smart city management, including AI CCTV, Smart Access, Digital Signage, Smart Meters, IoT, digital payments, data analytics, virtual classrooms, and cyber security. Data from conference centers, business zones, residences, retail, schools, security agencies, and public spaces will feed into a Smart City Data Platform and Digital Twin, enabling real-time city oversight, traffic and energy planning, and enhanced safety management for citizens, businesses, and communities.
