NT study highlights suitable spectrum
A cabinet resolution has directed the Digital Economy and Society (DES) Ministry and the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) to discuss the allocation of an additional spectrum band to National Telecom (NT) to provide a mobile phone service to the public and state agencies.
State enterprise NT conducted a feasibility study on what spectrum bands it wants to use for such missions, said president Col Sanpachai Huvanandana.
The cabinet issued the resolution in 2021 when TOT and CAT Telecom merged to become NT.
The feasibility study focused on reasons to utilise any bands for state or public use, especially in terms of operational costs and devices, or signal transmission support — factors that directly impact service pricing.
