A leader in telecommunications
International Gateway Co., Ltd. (IGC), a subsidiary of ALT Telecom Public Company Limited, has established itself as a key player in Thailand’s telecommunications sector. Since being granted a Telecom License Type III, IGC has developed an extensive fibre optic network spanning over 12,000 kilometres. This infrastructure is designed to support critical traffic within Thailand and connect to neighbouring countries, facilitating seamless communication.
The company’s strategic focus on decentralisation is evident in its use of Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) technology, which enhances network resilience through a self-healing architecture. This approach mitigates the risks associated with single points of failure, ensuring that services remain uninterrupted even during outages.
