Designed for Data Security
and Data Privacy
The data privacy and security are the most
concerned topics when there comes about the
integration among partners networks. AIS has
invested in R&D to make sure that the data on
the partner networks istenanted and secured in
transit and storage.
OUR API PLATFORM

Supporting Service
Regardless of what the state of our partners’s
products/services is in, the platform is
supporting the processes of products under
development, supplier products onboarding,
complementary solution aggregation,products
& services discovery and delivery, and due
settlement. This end-to-end processes bring
transparency to the partner networks.
Built on top of
AIS technologies
Being the largest Telecom Service Provider of
Thailand is not by a luck. What we have learnt
and developed for our 40M plus subscribers
has influence on how we design and build our
API platform for our partners.

01/ EXTERNAL PARTNERS
AIS Digital for Thais can not be done by AIS alone but rather done with AIS partners to support
the needs from the vertical industries or domains.

Our partnership can be constructed into many forms. It could be business partnership, technology
partnership, academic partnership, governmental partnership, and so on.

For the time being AIS has partnered with a number of entities to support Agriculture, Education,
Health/Medical, Retails, Logistics, Transportation, Home/Living, Energy, Factory and City specific
problems as following partner groups;

Advanced Radio
Technology Development
With the need of Internet access consumption,
AIS has developed the Long-Term-Evolution
(LTE) Massive MIMO 32T32R, 8T8R, 5-beam
Antenna, and LTE Relay with Huawei, ZTE, and
Nokia to serve such a demanding capacity
needs.

COLLABORATION WITH
MOBILE OPERATOR Next G
Data Access Service
The capacity improvement can not be relied on
a signal radio technology alone. AIS has
partnered with KT corporation to develop the
radio aggregation technology which makes use
of both WiFi and 4G concurrently to achieve
Giga-bit level of mobile internet access as a
prior effort towards 5G era.
COLLABORATIONS WITH
ACADEMICS & GOVERNMENT

Queuing System Abhaibhubejhr hospital

This is the cooperation between AIS and Abhaibhubejhr hospital to solve problems and decrease
the time in waiting queue in the hospital.
With variety of AIS’s business partners, AIS searches for an appropriate partner and pairs with
Abhaibhubejhr hospital. A startup named “QueQ”, a professional in queue management mobile
application, is arranged for developing this smart queue for Abhaibhubejhr hospital.

Environment Sensors in Hadyai

Hatyai is a main city centered in the southern region of Thailand. Similar to other cities in the
globe, Hatyai also experienced a number of environmental problems such as air quality, particle
pollution, water quality and flooding.Prince of Songkla University (PSU) takes initiative to
address the problems by implementing sensors for various types of environmental measures in
Hatyai city, where the main university campus is located.

A vast range of sensors encompasses water level detection, quantity of dissolved oxygen in
public canal, pm2.5 particle level, ambient temperature, relative humidity level, for example.
The measurement information is reported remotely through AIS NB-IoT network to PSU’s IoT
platform for further data processing.

OUR IoT INITIATIVES
The need of internet access does not stop at person-to-app interaction but it is an initial phase of
Internet-of-Thing (IoT) era. AIS has developed the latest technology so called Narrow Band IoT
(NB-IoT) to serve the need of specific types of things such as sensors and actuators. In order to
access such technology, AIS needs to build a terminal point to provide access for. The NB-IoT
Shield has been developed specifically for such purpose.

Since the NB-IoT Shield launched, there have been a number of adopters
on the technology. Makers, universities, andenterprises have largely
used AIS NB-IoT Shield to be a part of their IoT prototypes or products.

Integrated Pipeline Maintenance

SMART
PARKING SOLUTION
A fast growing demand for personal vehicle in Thailand induces multiple problems such as scarce
parking spaces and traffic congestion as people have to drive around certain areas to find the
available space. With the advent of NB-IoT technology, AIS is partnering with Infinite Technology
to develop the Smart Parking Solution to alleviate or even resolve the problems.
INTEGRATED
PIPELINE MAINTENANCE
MONITORING SYSTEM
Gas pipelines are fundamental network infrastructure of PTT. It is therefore very crucial to main-
tain all pipelines in the network to always be in good conditions. The team invented pipelines
monitoring sensors that can transmit data over AIS NB-IoT network.
It does not require PTT to implement its own private network to connect to the sensors. PTT can
rather use AIS NB-IoT network having nation-wide coverage. Also, the sensors are not required
to interact with the NB-IoT network frequently, thus extending battery life time at each sensor
station and consequently reduce PTT maintenance cost significantly. Sensor installation can
also be done very quickly since there is no wiring required – everything is wireless.

INNOVATION CONSOLIDATION
The partnership among AIS and others’ Innovation Labs is a part of innovation strategy of AIS.
The key question of this type of collaboration is how to get the common interest among the
parties so that each of entities can stay on its core business objective but also stretch out to the
adjunct possibilities.
At AIS, we have categorized the way to manage innovation programs in 3 different approaches
depending to the estimated effort investment. The toughest process to go through would be on
the innovation project categorized into the horizon-3, regardless of type and source of innovation
of the projects
AIS do believe that the collaboration of all parties includes internal team, partner,
supplier, academic, startups and government sector is a key success of innovation
building.With this, we can enhances our potential to provide solution to the rapid
changing need of today customers and finally creates new business opportunities
supporting a sustainably growth of AIS and our partners…
