February 5, 2026 \u2013<\/strong> True Corporation has completed key preparations to ensure full readiness of its 5G and 4G networks in support of Thailand\u2019s general election and constitutional referendum on Feb. 8, 2026. The company aims to support citizens traveling to cast their votes, while also enabling smooth coordination and election result reporting by officials nationwide. True has activated its highest level of nationwide network readiness and is deploying AI-driven network automation to efficiently manage network performance in key areas during peak usage periods.<\/p>\n

True Corporation is using network usage insights from the early voting day on Feb. 1, 2026 as a case study to plan for election day, when both mobile voice and data usage are expected to rise significantly. Peak usage is anticipated during the morning voting window from 8:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m., and again shortly before polls close from 4:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. Additional traffic is also expected after poll closing, as citizens and officials closely follow election updates and results.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Most recently, True\u2019s network operations team, led by Mr. Khurrum Ashfaque<\/strong>, Chief Network Officer, and Mr. Jirachai Kunakorn<\/strong>, Deputy Chief Network Officer, conducted on-site inspections and testing of 5G and 4G network performance in key areas to ensure readiness and build confidence for customers and election-related operations.<\/p>\n

Mr. Khurrum Ashfaque<\/strong>, Chief Network Officer of True Corporation Public Company Limited, said, \u201cWe are ready to deliver reliable mobile network services to support citizens nationwide as they travel to vote in the general election and constitutional referendum. We have conducted deep analysis of network usage from the Feb. 1 early voting day to strengthen our 5G and 4G readiness for the expected heavy traffic on Feb. 8. We are also deploying AI-driven network automation to proactively manage network performance at the highest efficiency, ensuring citizens and officials can stay connected with confidence throughout the day.\u201d<\/p>\n

Boosting Coverage in High-Traffic Areas with COW Deployments<\/strong><\/p>\n

True Corporation has deployed additional Cell-On-Wheels (COW) to strengthen coverage and capacity in high-traffic voting areas. Each COW supports both 5G and 4G services using high-performance frequency bands and can accommodate more than 50,000 concurrent users per location.<\/p>\n

True Corporation has also strengthened network readiness across Bangkok’s 33 constituencies, as well as provinces expected to see high voter turnout, including Nakhon Ratchasima, Khon Kaen, Ubon Ratchathani, Chiang Mai, and Chonburi, among others. Coverage plans also include polling stations nationwide, political party offices, press briefing venues, and election result reporting locations.<\/p>\n

Elevating Network Intelligence with AI-Driven Automation<\/strong><\/p>\n

As Thailand\u2019s first mobile operator to receive the TM Forum Autonomous Network Level 4.0 (AN Level 4.0) validation, True Corporation is applying its Highly Autonomous Network capabilities to manage connectivity during critical national moments such as the election.<\/p>\n

The system is powered by Intent-Based Operation (IBO) technology, which functions like an \u201cAI Operations Team\u201d that continuously analyzes network conditions and usage density. It can automatically optimize signal distribution, channel resources, and antenna angles to deliver the best possible 5G and 4G experience for TrueMove H and dtac customers at all times.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

24\/7 Monitoring with BNIC Taskforce Support<\/strong><\/p>\n

True Corporation has activated a dedicated taskforce at BNIC, its intelligent network operations center, working together with AI monitoring systems to oversee network performance 24 hours a day before, during, and after election day. This ensures rapid response to any situation and supports network stability during fast-changing usage patterns.<\/p>\n

The strengthened network performance will not only enable citizens to communicate, post, share, and make video calls smoothly, but also support travel and voting activities, as well as coordination, election result reporting, and operational work by officials and related agencies throughout the election process.<\/p>\n

True Corporation remains committed to strengthening Thailand\u2019s digital infrastructure and applying digital technology to support Thai people\u2019s quality of life in a sustainable way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
