Mavenir Powering the First Smart City in Thailand with 5G Open RAN Integration Across mmWave Private Network

Mavenir, the Network Software Provider transforming the way the world connects by building the future of networks with cloud-native software that runs on every cloud, announced today that it is collaborating with National Telecom Public Company Limited (NT), a state-owned telecommunications company, 5GCT, a local partner specializing in delivering end-to-end 5G Smart Cities, and Cisco Systems (Thailand), a local partner specializing in delivering end-to-end 5G Smart

The implementation of the 5G Smart City fosters collaboration between the public and private sectors, resulting in a completely functional smart city. The city of Ban Chang is connected to a highway that links Pattaya and Bangkok, Thailand's two largest cities. The site is near to U-Tapao International Airport, Map Ta Phut Industrial Zone, and the new master design Ban Chang Smart City, both of which are crucial infrastructure for Thailand's Digital Economy and the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC). Ban Chang's characteristics make it an ideal location for 5G use cases including industrial robots, factory automation, remote telemedicine, aviation, logistics, and agriculture. The project has been called Asia's "Silicon Beach" by industry experts

The Ban Chang Smart City 5G Private Network uses a millimeter-wave (mmWave) spectrum, which is suitable for Internet of Things (IoT) sensors, drones, and smart poles, as well as other applications that include quick data uplink to the core for real-time analysis and city management.

TOT1 can achieve the promise of 5G due to Mavenir's cloud-native, open architecture-based Private Network solution. The software-based platform provided the transformation of the mobile communication private network, enabling devices, applications, and services to operate on an automated network using open architecture, containers, and artificial intelligence (AI). Mavenir's end-to-end 5G Open RAN, Millimeter wave (mmWave) radios, and 5G Core with Open API technology specifications, in combination with cloud-native solutions supporting private On-Premise applications, enables Smart City principles like real-time traffic, public safety, digital signage, and sensitive environmental conditions.

Cisco, a key Mavenir technology partner, and TOT's IP transport infrastructure provider, delivered switching hardware and application services to support the 5G solution's "smart" components.
