The 5G innovation in “AIS 5G The Real No.1 Tested Nationwide Bring Future Today” consists of the following:

1. 5G Hologram 3D

The first time in Thailand with the introduction of 3D Hologram technology, remote communication of the future, which can broadcast 360-degree in 3D models, with virtual reality and real-time for the public to experience, which will be useful in applied toward business meetings, distance education, medicine, agriculture, and fashion-entertainment jobs, as well as applying to develop games, 3D animation, AR (Augmented Reality), VR (Virtual Reality) and MR (Mixed Reality), where users may be located in different areas to share ideas, and collaborate work in fast and efficiently visualized, helping to create clear and higher effective communication.

2. 5G VDO Call

The trial of the use of 5G VDO Call across regions in all 5 regions of Thailand via the 5G network with a smartphone that supports 5G, which is a unique feature of 5G technology with low latency, responding in real-time, sharp, and uninterrupted reply, with high-definition images in Full HD - 4K, and clear sound with Ultra HD voice.

3. 5G Remote Control Vehicle

The demonstration of remote driverless vehicle technology via 5G network in the front area of Samyan Mitrtown under the cooperation between Digital Research and Innovation Institute, Prince of Songkla University and AIS, which will show the potential of the 5G network with high speed, low latency, and fast response, accordingly the driver does not need to be in the car but can control the vehicle to move to various areas as required, and can be applied to the transportation of goods in the industrial sector and traffic in the future.

4. 5G Connected Drones

The demonstration of remote control drones between Bangkok and the Korat city, Nakhon Ratchasima province, in an area that has licensed via 5G network on a Live Network, which will show the idea of using drones in the 5G era with high speed, and low latency and the controller does not need to be in the same place as the drone, but can control the drone with long-distance via mobile network, moreover can streaming high definition video back to the user immediately, which can be applied to a wide range of applications, including transportation and logistics, agriculture, public safety, rescue, as well as the use of drones to control smart cities to explore different areas.

5. 5G The Robotics

   Exhibiting the concept of robots through 5G technology with high speed and low latency, which consists of 2 use cases:

   1. 5G The Robotic, the future of store: Representing the concept of a future supermarket that operates by robots via 5G technology, which supports robots to be processed in real-time and with high accuracy, therefore, the robots will be able to pick products precisely according to the order that the customer wants to buy.
   2. 5G Smart Little Robot Companion, the intelligent robot that works via 5G, which be able to talk and answer questions to users via 5G technology, assisting to remember the command of smart connected devices and the response of the robot is fast and more accuratBannee and Bookky are Librarian-Bots that were developed to work at the Khon Kaen University Library; moreover, they can communicate with each other and people.
