several major cities as part of its LTE expansion program on 2100MHz band. Once

Khalid Shehzad, Chief Technology Officer at dtac, says: "dtac is in a strong
position to capture market share and innovate to meet the growing demand for
internet services in Thailand. We are firmly anchored to the strategy of
delivering internet for all in Thailand. We are looking forward to continuing
our close cooperation with Ericsson and to expand our high-quality mobile

see an enhanced mobile broadband experience offered to dtac's customers through
a high-capacity LTE network. We will leverage our combined technology and
services leadership to deliver this improved experience to dtac's subscribers."

expansion, we are enabling consumers in Thailand to access faster mobile

is more than double the traffic of our closest competitor. Ericsson is present

Singapore, Australia and Canada etc., and has also been selected by the top 10
LTE operators, as ranked by LTE subscriptions worldwide.
