Chunghwa Telecom Thailand’s regional footprint

Chunghwa Telecom (Thailand) Co., Ltd. (CHT-TH), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Taiwan’s largest telecommunications provider, Chunghwa Telecom, has played a key role in Southeast Asia’s digital development since its establishment in March 2017. Headquartered in Bangkok, CHT-TH’s service coverage extends beyond Thailand to include Myanmar, Laos, Cambodia, and neighbouring countries.

Advancing digital transformation and smart city development

CHT-TH actively promotes cloud-integrated solutions and professional one-stop managed services across networks, IT infrastructure, and cybersecurity. These offerings include high-quality MPLS VPN services for multinationals, cost-effective encrypted EZ VPN, IPLC, and comprehensive ICT integration services such as IT room/cabling, PBX/Wi-Fi systems, and SDN-based global eXpress Centres.

In alignment with Thailand’s “Smart Thailand 2020” and “Thailand 4.0” strategies—aimed at developing 100 smart cities over two decades—CHT-TH has played an instrumental role in enabling smart transformation. In partnership with the Provincial Electricity Authority (PEA), Thailand’s largest state-owned power enterprise, CHT-TH has rolled out smart city and smart energy solutions such as CHTCityOS, smart poles, and smart meters to enhance urban living and energy efficiency.

The company also deployed a 5G private network at Delta Electronics Thailand’s Bangpoo factory, supporting advanced applications such as augmented reality (AR) for remote collaboration and automated guided vehicles (AGVs), significantly improving manufacturing efficiency. These efforts underscore CHT-TH’s dedication to technological innovation and to helping Thailand realise its digital future.

CHT-TH’s contributions were prominently featured at the 2023 Thailand-Taiwan Exhibition, where Chunghwa Telecom demonstrated its smart manufacturing solutions. Live demonstrations connected Taichung and Thailand via its “Smart Machinery Cloud Platform”, “Embedded Energy Management System”, and real-time monitoring through the “Intelligence Video Surveillance System (IVS)”. Enabled by a high-speed, low-latency, high-capacity 5G enterprise private network, Thai managers could remotely monitor machine status, review site footage, and analyse live data.

Chunghwa Telecom’s vision—“to build a trustworthy digital ecosystem serving individuals, families, governments, and enterprises”—continues to drive CHT-TH’s efforts in shaping Southeast Asia’s digital future. With its unwavering commitment to innovation and integration, the company stands as a vital force in the region’s technological advancement.
