BANGKOK, May 8 – TrueMove on Wednesday launched its fourth-generation (4G) wireless connection as Thailand’s first provider to offer such service.

True Corporation Plc (TRUE) chief executive Supachai Chearavanont announced its ‘4G-LTE’ system launch, following receiving its licence for the 2100 megahetz frequency approved recently by the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC).

According to the company, over 2,000 stations for the 4G service will be set up in Bangkok and main cities and sites around the country by the end of the year in order that the speed of downloading and uploading content online can be 3-5 times faster. Another 5,000 stations will be set up later to cover more areas in the future.
