True Corporation Controls Thailand-Laos Border Signal, Cuts Scammer Networks While Upgrading Internet for Mekong Communities
True Corporation is upgrading 5G and 4G networks across Thailand's northeastern border with Laos while using signal controls to disrupt cross-border scammer operations in vulnerable areas like Si Chiang Mai District, Nong Khai Province.
May 6, 2025 – True Corporation led a team to inspect 5G and 4G signal quality across northeastern border provinces along the Thailand-Laos frontier and Mekong riverside communities, gathering local feedback while controlling border signals according to National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) measures to disrupt cross-border scammer communications. The company is deploying signal enhancement solutions including small cell and femtocell technology. Recently, the team inspected signal coverage in Nong Khai Province, particularly in Si Chiang Mai District—a vulnerability point for illegal cross-border signal use—to monitor and adjust signal control at all points following NBTC security protocols.
Kuram Atchfak, network division leader at True Corporation, stated: "True Corporation continuously improves network infrastructure along the Thailand-Laos border to counter call center gangs, especially in Si Chiang Mai District, Nong Khai Province. We also consider the impact on local residents by conducting on-site signal inspections and closely gathering community feedback. Currently, we've installed signal enhancements at over 100 locations throughout the northeastern border region to ensure continuous service for residents."
True Corporation has upgraded the Thailand-Laos border network across five provinces—Loei, Bueng Kan, Nakhon Phanom, Mukdahan, and Nong Khai—using Cell Radius techniques and network parameter adjustments including antenna direction, transmission power, and base station density to precisely control signals within Thai territory. The company operates a SIM box detection war room and uses AI to analyze abnormal behavior in real-time through its 24-hour intelligent network operations center (BNIC).
True Corporation also conducted community consultations and installed additional small cells and femtocells in the five border provinces to mitigate internet quality impacts from strict NBTC compliance measures. This is particularly important as the government prepares to launch the "Thai Help Thai Plus Half Per Person" program, which will distribute 4,000 baht per person through the "Pao Tang" mobile application during June-September 2025. Signal enhancement to support access to government digital services is crucial for residents in remote border and Mekong areas.
True Corporation emphasized collaboration with government agencies to combat scammer networks through enhanced security measures including biometric SIM registration, limiting phone numbers per individual, real-time AI anomaly detection, and Liveness Detection technology across all channels. The company reaffirmed strict adherence to government and NBTC policies to prevent network misuse in illegal activities.
