NT National Telecom Drives Businesses to the Digital Future

        NT National Telecommunications or National Telecom Public Company Limited is a merger between TOT and CAT to enhance service efficiency; driving Thai businesses to a global scale.

         Over the years, it is undeniable that our world has completely entered the digital age. Technological advances have changed the lives of people around the world, especially for businesses in the 5G technology network. The speed and accuracy of the Internet used to connect various data points has become the key to driving business success. While the world is competing to develop new technologies into the market, in Thailand, we are also constantly innovating to extend our technological advances by developing a telecommunications network that covers all areas without compromise. This is made possible on behalf of the National Telecom Public Company Limited.

         On 7th January 2021, there was a large shift in Thailand’s telecommunications industry: the merger between TOT Public Company Limited and CAT Telecom Public Company Limited under the new name, NT (National Telecom Public Company Limited). This is because NT has the largest domestic and international telecommunications network while providing the most full-range services. NT is ready to move forward with a commitment to be the leader in telecommunication services and is ranked top 3 in Thailand for this aspect. 

The Beginning of the Merger of 2 Giant Players

         NT combines the strengths of both companies, TOT and CAT. TOT holds strengths in providing internet services for organizations, home internet, home phone networks and mobile phones services across the country. Meanwhile, CAT holds strengths in telecommunication networks, satellite communication systems (both domestically and internationally) and international calling service. It can be considered a collaboration between the two companies to enhance the organization’s potential, enabling them to become more competitive, and together create a truly comprehensive telecommunications service.

Benefits of the Merger

         Due to changing human behaviors, this major merger is essential for addressing behavioral aspects of people in the digital age while also benefiting various sectors accordingly. For example, reducing the duplication of government investments and strengthening the competitiveness of small and large businesses while also better meeting the needs of consumers. Nonetheless, the most important aspect is that consumers will have a more comprehensive telecommunications service that can be accessed from anywhere in the country.

NT, an Outstanding Phenomenon that’s Worth Keeping an Eye On

From the NT merger, NT now has assets of up to 300 billion baht, which is considered the most comprehensive telecommunications network company in Thailand. These are the outstanding assets that NT will develop in the near future:

  • More than 25,000 telecommunication towers across the country
  • 9 international submarine cable systems with 14 POP functions allowing connectivity to all continents 
  • 6 5G frequency bands with a total bandwidth of 600 MHz
  • Underground electrical conduit across Thailand with a distance of 4,600 kilometers
  • 4 million core kilometers of fiber optic cables

         In addition, NT also has a comprehensive business alliance spanning across various fields, including Internet, telephone carriers and cable towers. Therefore, NT is regarded as the telecommunications network company to look out for both today and in the future. Business alliances include:

Hard Infrastructure Businesses

       These businesses focus on providing infrastructure services that require high investment in order to expand the basic telecommunications network to one that is comprehensive, stable, secure and sufficient for use in different areas. The fact that NT already possesses infrastructure assets helps it gain a service advantage as well as neutrality in management, enabling NT to meet the needs of both government organizations and various business organizations.
