4G Wireless Communication Technology

At present, it is undeniable that technology is the most necessary factor for human. It provides human convenience in many ways such as Communication, Education, Work, Medication, and Public Health. Technology is rapidly growing to continuously support and respond requirement of human leading to borderless world today. Human can easily communicate regardless of time, distance, and language. One of the technologies that is the “Talk of the Town” in Thailand is Fourth - Generation Wireless Communication Technology or 4G.

4G Technology that Thailand is currently using, firstly, is LTE system that is faster than 3rd Generation (3G) Technology for 10 times. Transfer data and multimedia streaming speed are at least 100 Mbps with maximum speed of 1 Gbps. Second, Wimax system is Wireless Broadband that has same standard with Wi-Fi but it can signal to 40 miles with speed of 70 Mbps and Highest speed of 100 Mbps. As a result, LTE system is more popular and is more widespreadly used worldwide, while Wimax system is used only in some countries such as Japan, Taiwan, and Bangladesh, because High speed Data transmission via Fourth -Generation (4G) Wireless allows users to send and receive information of picture, voice, and all data more and efficiently. For example, downloading or watching High - Definition video/movie, Tele - Education via cordless telephone, and medical care in wilderness area, making access of information by agriculturists, and helping facilitate other occupations can be made faster with more capacity. This will subsequently result in the increase of efficiency of gadgets such as Mobile phone, Tablet, and Notebook.

For 4G Wireless Communication Technology in 2015’s latest movement, Office of the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) expected to arrange a critical 4G auction after July 17, 2015. NBTC will organize auction of 1800 MHz spectrum (2 licenses) and 900 MHz spectrum (2 licenses). Also, they have planned to improve radio frequency in 15 areas, which are area 146 - 148 MHz (Citizens band radio), area 700 MHz, 470-510 MHz (improving broadcasting), area 2300 - 2400 MHz (improving Industrial Management Technology or IMT) in order to enhance telecom infrastructure, respond to the government’s policy agenda to drive the Digital Economy and develop spectrum of Thailand to have universal standard. NBTC’ s mission also includes preparation to drive Thailand’s infrastructure to regional level and become the hub of ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) which will be opened in December 2015.
