Outlining the latest mobile networks developments

Outlining the latest mobile networks developments

SINCE our last report in November 2017, Thai operators have been busy expanding the reach of their 4G networks and we have refreshed their metrics, tracking the changes made by AIS, DTAC and TrueMove's 3G and 4G performance, according to OpenSignal's inaugural state of Mobile Networks report for Thailand as of April 2018.

As the global standard for measuring real-world mobile network experience, OpenSignal independently analyses and reports on consumers’ real-world mobile network experience at the largest scale and frequency in the wireless industry: by operator and by country, regionally and worldwide. 
The mobile analytics insights are used across the industry by operators, telecoms regulators and analysts.
OpenSignal measures the real-world experience of consumers on mobile networks as they go about their daily lives. 
Two billion individual measurements every day from tens of millions of smartphones worldwide at all hours of the day, every day of the year, under conditions of normal usage, including inside buildings and outdoors, in cities and the countryside, and everywhere in between.
For this particular report, 1,104,675,335 datapoints were collected from 117,309 users during the period: January 1 – March 31, 2018 in Thailand.
Below are findings from OpenSignal’s State of Mobile Networks report for Thailand for April 2018:
Access to 4G connections is increasing rapidly across Thailand. All three major operators saw jumps in OpenSignal’s 4G availability metric since the last report in November 2017, but the biggest increase recorded was on DTAC's network. 
Its availability increased more than nine percentage points in six months, bringing its score to 84per cent. 
OpenSignal's 4G availability award, however, went to TrueMove. Testers were able to find an LTE signal on TrueMove's network an exceptional 94.7 per cent of the time.
Finding 4G signals in Thailand is hardly a problem, but fast 4G connections still remain elusive. In OpenSignal’s latest test results, all three major operators averaged LTE speeds below the global mobile average of 16.9 Mbps from OpenSignal’ recent State of LTE report. 
TrueMove either won outright or tied for all of OpenSignal's national awards, and its dominance on the regional level is only increasing.
