Ericsson announced that it claims as the world's first major Dual Band Dot from Thailand's True to deploy indoor networks across Thailand to improve indoor connectivity. 

True is Thailand's convergence lifestyle leader that owns TrueMove, Thailand's second-largest mobile provider; TrueOnline, the country's largest Broadband and dial-up Internet provider and TrueVisions, the only nationwide pay-TV company.

True will install these Dots from May 2017, focusing on the northern, southern, and central regions of Thailand. The first deployments will be in hospitals, shopping malls, and hotels.

The Dual Band Dot, part of the Ericsson Radio Dot System, enables a simple deployment that is fully integrated with the outdoor macro network. The Dual Band Dot enables multi-band deployments and Carrier Aggregation, which is important in 5G readiness. 

Thailand is among the leaders in ICT adoption in South East Asia, with Thai consumers being heavy users of mobile broadband and ICT applications. Having good connectivity in large indoor areas hence becomes critical for the mobile subscribers, said Ericsson.
