6 GHz in Thailand

Thailand was among the first markets in the Asia Pacific region to launch 5G back in 2020. With widespread deployment and a mobile-savvy population, 5G market penetration crossed 50% at the start of 2026. Mobile data usage in Thailand is among the highest in Asia Pacific, with monthly consumption in excess of 30 GB per connection.

As adoption expands, so will the demand for spectrum, especially mid-bands for city-wide and indoor capacity. This report examines why the full availability of the upper 6 GHz band (6.425–7.125 GHz) for mobile networks is crucial to support continued growth and set the stage for next-generation 6G services.
