Ericsson has unveiled an ambitious plan to drive digital transformation in Thailand, leveraging its state-of-the-art 5G network solutions and extensive global expertise. At the heart of this initiative is the newly established 5G Innovation and Experience Studio at Thailand Digital Valley, developed in collaboration with the Royal Thai Government and the Digital Economy Promotion Agency (DEPA). The studio is a hub for co-creating and testing innovative 5G solutions. It showcases several innovative 5G applications, including Automated Mobile Robots (AMR), an Automated Production Machine developed in collaboration with Mitsubishi, and 360-degree wearable CCTV cameras.

Ericsson Thailand is committed to fostering collaboration with key stakeholders in the ecosystem, including partners, end-users, academia, and others. By working together, the company aims to develop new 5G use cases to drive digital transformation and benefit the Thai people, economy, and country. Anders Rian, President of Ericsson Thailand, emphasises, '5G is a platform for innovation. It enables new services for consumers, enterprises, and industry. We remain committed to fostering partnerships and innovations to ensure Thailand reaps the full benefits of a robust and sustainable 5G network.'

The initiative aligns with Ericsson's global leadership in 5G networks, powering 162 networks in 69 countries. According to the Ericsson Mobility Report, 5G subscriptions in Southeast Asia and Oceania are forecasted to reach 560 million by 2029, driven by increased affordability of devices and expanded service offerings.
