Now AIS is moving forward to demonstrate 5G technology in the "5G The 1st Live in Thailand by AIS: Episode 2", being held from 19 December 2018 to 15 January 2019 at AIS D.C., on the 5th floor of The Emporium. Combining AIS's capability with 5G technology to achieve substantial results and practical applications for the future, the 5G showcase offers Thais unparalleled and unique experiences. This new chapter of success following on from the first 5G research and trial in Thailand features five not-to-be-missed highlights
- Test the impressive 5G speed using AIS superior innovations. AIS is the first and only operator to studies the highest speed, which is over 19 Gbps. AIS uses the NEXT G network technology to apply the speed of the 5G standard system and calls it NEXT G+.
- Demonstration of how the Cloud merges with AR and VR in the 5G era via 2 action games in the form of 5G Cloud Virtual and Augmented Reality. This will allow the public to perceive future models for AR and VR marketing, which is slated to grow dramatically.
- Demonstration of the first drone with an embedded sim card that will be controlled via international mobile networks between Thailand and China.
- Experience CPE (Customer premises equipment), internet receiver at home that supports 5G in mmWave band (millimeter wave), the world's first spectrum based on 3GPP standard.
- Unveiling of the 5G Internet of Things through 5G V2X technology (Vehicle to Everything), communications between vehicles, pedestrians, infrastructure and more.
Wasit Wattanasap, AIS's head of nationwide operations and the support department, says the first episode of the 5G Episode 1 demonstration was very successful. "AIS achieved its goal of comprehensive study and research on 5G technology in all dimensions including speed, responsiveness and IoT support. In addition, the 5G testing significantly created awareness of its application in the business, industry and educational sectors as well as the telecom ecosystem. As 5G is a great opportunity to transform lives and industries, AIS demonstrated the application of 5G to various industries in the virtual reality environment through the use of 5G handset models and terminals. As a result, the testing offered consumers a real experience with more substance and greater clarity of the practical benefits.
"The concept of 5G Episode 2 is different and goes far beyond the first event. We're studying the combination of AIS capability and 5G technology with the aim to achieve concrete results from which we will create different innovations when 5G arrives. Moreover, we will create more value to upgrade the quality of living of the Thai people and shape the operations of the business and industrial sectors. This will clearly show that AIS never ceases to develop and seek new innovations, allowing Thais to explore superior technologies before others anywhere else in the world. Thais will certainly be able to enjoy the 5G Episode 3 soon", Wasit adds.
In the "5G The 1st Live in Thailand by AIS: Episode 2" taking place on the 5th floor of The Emporium between 19 December 2018 and 15 January 2019, visitors can learn about and understand all dimensions of 5G technology. A professional team will be on hand throughout the event to provide explanations.
5G Super Speed, the fastest speed of 5G with over 19 Gbps
Test the superior speed of 5G by AIS. The leading mobile operator in Thailand is challenging Thais to test the speed of over 19 Gbps. When 5G arrives, AIS will be able to enhance efficiency and take the speed up to the next level. AIS is the only operator to apply Multipath TCP or the so-called NEXT G on the 5G network. Thanks to the combination of 5G speed and AIS Super WiFi, AIS can deliver the maximum speed of over 19 Gbps, higher than 5G standard, or NEXT G+.
5G Connected Drone with the best remote control technology
The event will demonstrate the deployment of drones in the 5G era. At present, drones are used via WiFi, which poses limitation on use because of the need to control the drone over a short distance and within a visible area. In addition, there is interference in the signal due to the use of unlicensed bands. The 5G technology provides higher speeds and low latency, so it can control drones at more remote distances via a mobile network. A controller need no longer stay in the same area of the drone as it can instantly deliver streaming video with high resolution to the controller. This marks the first ever demonstration, testing and control of droned via mobile networks between Thailand and China.
5G Cloud Virtual and Augmented Reality, the ultimate entertainment beyond imagination
Explore how the Cloud AR/VR in the 5G era can deliver fast responsiveness. It can be used anywhere and at anytime because of the data processing via Cloud computing. In the future, the Cloud AR/VR technology might be applied for various uses including game playing, online shopping, education and training. The event showcases the following 2 models:
Mix Reality World: A shooter game for two players. Although they are in different places, they enjoy the shooting experience just as if they were in the same place because the gaming devices can send/deliver data in real time to be processed via the Cloud platform on the 5G network.
Smart Golves: A game to create a fireball and shoot it via 4G compared to 5G in order to show the faster responsiveness of 5G.
5G Wireless for the home, the strongest wireless broadband technology
The event will demonstrate the capability of wireless broadband technology through 5G network (5G WTTx), which extends fiber broadband coverage. This will particularly be advantageous for remote areas and those with difficult accessibility including islands, mountains and rural areas where there are limitations on the provision of transmission lines. The event introduces CPE, the home internet receiver that supports 5G frequencies in the mmWave band, the world's first commercial spectrum based on 3GPP standard. This spec can deliver a maximum speed of 2Gbps.
5G Internet of Things, the ultimate bandwidth speeds to boost IoT connecting devices tenfold
This will introduce the idea of 5G Internet of Things through 5G V2X (Vehicle to Everything). This is a communications technology between vehicles and things which basically enhances transportation safety, traffic efficiency and energy savings. Based on Cloud processing, the 5G IoT network will increase communication efficiency with fast responsiveness between vehicle and vehicle, between vehicle and pedestrian via electronic devices, and between vehicle and road infrastructure such as traffic lights. Moreover, the 5G V2X can also be applied for self-driving cars.
