Abstract

In late Q1/2023, DTAC and TRUE officially completed their merger. Consequently, this study was initiated to ascertain whether their respective fifth-generation (5G) networks had been seamlessly integrated several months following the merger. The investigation involved conducting drive tests along two predefined routes within the urban areas of Bangkok, employing the G-NetTrack pro tool for testing and data collection. Additionally, stationary tests were conducted in two crowded places using an application called Speedtest. Subsequently, an array of quality of service (QoS) metrics, including reference signal received power (RSRP), reference signal received quality (RSRQ), signal to noise ratio (SNR), download (DL), upload (UL) speeds and latency, were meticulously analyzed and presented. The findings of this study unveiled that, despite the successful completion of the DTAC and TRUE merger from a business standpoint, the technical integration of their respective 5G networks had not been finalized, although there were no significant differences between DTAC and TRUE for DL (p-value=0.542) and UL (p-value=0.090). Notably, significant differences were found between DTAC and TRUE for four metrics, including RSRP, RSRQ, SNR and latency (p-values0.05). Remarkably, roaming functionalities were still operational between the two networks.

Abstract

This article compares two of the leading mobile network operators (MNOs) in Thailand’s telecom market in terms of the service quality of Thailand’s fifth generation (5G) networks. The following three factors: download speed, upload speed, and latency, which are frequently considered to be indicators of the quality of Internet networks, were examined. The researchers employed the test results to determine the quality of service (QoS) that was achieved by comparing newly collected data to data that had previously been examined utilizing the same format and application in the middle of May 2021. The average download speed decreased from 196.4 Mbps in 2021 to 140.4 Mbps in 2023, while the average upload speed dropped from 62.6 Mbps in 2021 to 52.0 Mbps in 2023. Furthermore, the average latency increased from 14.9 ms in 2021 to 23.3 ms in 2023. These results show a considerably enhanced service although the test region in this study only comprised BTS stations. Furthermore, this was the case even though the test area in this study only encompassed a small percentage of the total population.

Abstract

In today's digital era, people heavily depend on the internet for various tasks, such as online banking and e-commerce. While online transactions offer convenience, they also expose vulnerable individuals to potential exploitation by online scammers. The analysis and inquiry presented herein rely on data sourced from ChaladOhn, a system developed by academics and law enforcement, covering the period from February 2022 to January 2023. The comprehensive investigation reveals that each case resulted in losses under 10 million Thai Baht, accumulating to a staggering 3,100 million in damages. Notably, the fraudulent activities were traced back to the top two banks in the Thai market, referred to as the first and second bank. These banks were found responsible for; i) 28.2% and 16.0% of all scam accounts, ii) 25.6% and 20.5% of all transactions, and iii) 35.7% and 14.9% of all victim losses, respectively. The results of the inquiry must be shared with appropriate organizations and regulators due to the predicted worsening of this situation. This proactive approach aims to facilitate the development, recommendation, and implementation of effective strategies to address the escalating threat of online scams.

Abstract

Since the launch of fifth generation (5G) services in Thailand in 2020, there have been continuous improvements in 5G coverage. Currently, 5G coverage extends to most areas throughout the country. However, coverage issues persist not only in rural areas but also in high-rise buildings in urban areas. Consequently, a study was conducted within such buildings. This paper assesses the performance of 5G at different altitude test points. The chosen location for the field tests was a high-rise building within a crowded public hospital, which receives numerous patients every weekday, in the major urban area of Bangkok. Two smartphones from the same manufacturer, both supporting 5G technology and equipped with the Speedtest application, were employed as tools for this study. Tests were carried out on the third and twenty-fourth floors of the high-rise building for data collection. The primary finding of this study reveals that download speeds exhibited a significant decrease with increasing altitude of the test points, as evidenced by statistical analysis (p-values0.001). This implies an issue with altitude-induced variations, indicating a need for the improvement of indoor 5G coverage in high-rise buildings.
