Thailand's National Telecommunications Commission (NT) and Security Pitch have signed a new partnership agreement building on their earlier technology collaboration to launch the Pattaya Smart Pole Network by OneForce, a digital media and intelligent infrastructure system on 5G Smart Pole infrastructure in Pattaya. The project aims to use 5G technology, IoT systems, digital signage, and public safety systems to transform Pattaya into a world-class smart city, driving economic value in the area and helping brands efficiently reach Thai and foreign tourists and local residents with measurable results using Security Pitch's technology.

The agreement was signed on July 9, 2025, at NT's Sri Racha Customer Service Office in Chachoengsao Province, with participants including Piya Ratchaworakun, Assistant Managing Director of NT's Eastern Sales and Customer Operations Group, and Pakorn Thongjeen, Co-Founder and CEO of Security Pitch. The partnership covers use of Smart Pole 5G infrastructure and related equipment to provide public relations media, digital signage, smart city systems, IoT, and public safety services, as well as AI license plate recognition (LPR) analytics platforms and emergency broadcast capabilities to support Pattaya's sustainable smart city development.

This agreement represents significant progress following NT and Security Pitch's earlier partnership, signed on July 15, 2024, to develop integrated security technology and strengthen national digital trust. Pattaya, a major economic and tourism hub, serves as the pilot area for this collaboration through development of the Pattaya Smart Pole network, which functions both as central city digital media and as Smart City service infrastructure. This project marks the first tangible implementation of the NT-Security Pitch cooperation in a tourism destination.

Pakorn Thongjeen, Co-Founder and CEO of Security Pitch, stated: "This project would not have been possible without NT's cooperation, as it is one of the country's flagship initiatives. Pattaya is a world-class tourism city attracting over 18 million visitors annually, making its elevation to smart city status a significant step forward."
