Supporting Thailand in the ‘New Normal’ through 5G Rajiv Bawa
In this ‘New Normal’,Total Access Communication Plc (dtac) strongly believes its responsibilities are more important to Thai society than ever before — as are the company’s responsibilities. In fact, dtac understands the support that its customers need even more clearly, and that it must respond to those needs more quickly and efficiently. That means delivering experiences that are consistently excellent. It is clear that 5G will be critical to achieving these goals, and dtac remains fully committed to unlocking the benefits for Thai society. In 2020, the company’s objective is to both launch 5G at select locations and triple its network capacity for all users. This will be achieved by rolling out massive multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) solutions at high-traffic locations nationwide, while also continuing to expand and densify coverage. Despite the formidable challenges created by COVID-19, dtac has responded quickly and effectively. The company says that it has the necessary hear t, imagination and on-the-field execution needed to achieve that goal; therefore, now is the time to rethink how it will operate and use technology to thrive in the new normal.
Empowering businesses According to Mr. Rajiv Bawa, Chief Executive Officer, at dtac, said “the company is committed to empowering businesses and driving growth through three key principles — trust, simplicity and honesty. To overcome business challenges and achieve their business goals in this challenging time, we’ve been developing a wide range of solutions that help businesses cope with the ‘New Normal.”
