Corporation True showcases improved 5G service with Dynamic Spectrum Sharing (DSS) technology, leading the pack first in Thonglor
True Corporation, a leading telecommunications company in Thailand, has launched Dynamic Spectrum Sharing (DSS) technology on the 2600 MHz band to boost 5G performance [1][2][3]. This innovative technology enables real-time, automatic, and flexible allocation of spectrum between 4G and 5G users, depending on actual demand.
The initial service boost of DSS technology is in Thong Lor, Bangkok, a bustling neighborhood known for its international experience hub, popularity among young professionals, businesspeople, and expatriates [4]. This high-potential area was chosen as the first location for full-performance 5G service with DSS technology.
The benefits of True's DSS deployment are numerous. It maximizes spectrum efficiency by dynamically sharing the same frequency band between 4G and 5G, optimizing usage based on real consumer behavior [1][2][3]. This results in improved network speed and stability, particularly in high-density or heavy-usage areas, enabling superior 5G performance without wasting spectrum reserved for underused 4G or 5G services [1][2][3].
Moreover, the DSS implementation expands service coverage and strengthens support for emerging digital technologies through enhanced network infrastructure [1][3]. It can support a large subscriber base, with over 14.2 million 5G users nationwide benefiting from the modernized network as of early 2025 [1][2][3].
While DSS enhances display and performance flexibility, some technical analyses suggest that 5G using DSS may occasionally perform similarly to strong 4G due to the overhead of managing both technologies on a shared band [5]. However, True's implementation emphasizes real-time adjustment that optimizes user experience by responding dynamically to shifts in traffic between 4G and 5G users.
In summary, True Corporation's DSS rollout represents a strategic upgrade to Thailand's digital telecom infrastructure, improving speed, coverage, and efficiency by leveraging adaptive spectrum sharing technology to fully utilize the 2600 MHz band for both 4G and 5G services [1][2][3]. The company is planning to expand the development of high-performance 5G and 4G upgrades to targeted areas across the country.
