dtac 4G network ready for game, players urged to play cautiously and carefully

August 10, 2016 – dtac ensures its 4G network is ready for data traffic from popular games and applications and is preparing to publish a guidebook to provide safety tips and how to avoid extra charges - to express its care for customers and game players.

Mr. Prathet Tankuranun, Chief Technology Officer, Total Access Communication PLC or dtac, said, “Since the launch of Pokemon Go in Thailand on August 6, we have seen the rise in mobile data and internet usage on 4G and 3G networks, especially in the morning of the past Saturday and Sunday, during which people woke up early to play the game, causing higher data traffic than normal weekends. dtac has prepared a traffic monitoring team to ensure the network runs smoothly and can handle high traffic loads from game players and other data services, such as live videos, music streaming, HD content, YouTube, social media, and file uploads and downloads.”

The current trend and popularity of Pokemon Go has raised some security concerns. As one of the responsible mobile operators, dtac is preparing to publish a guidebook that provides tips for Pokemon Go players to play the game with fun and safely and avoid unsafe places, such as historic sites, government properties, hospitals, private properties, or desolate locations. Kids should be under parental guidance, including safety tips, proper playing time, avoiding charges buying in-game items.

“PokeStops are popular places where players gather to play the game. PokeStops with high data usage over weekends are places such as Siam Center, Siam Square, Siam Paragon etc. Places with high data traffic during weekdays are universities” said Prathet.

With 24-hour network monitoring, dtac can assure its customers of the quality of 4G, 3G, and 2G networks, specifically in congested areas in which parameters can be adjusted and signal channels increased to handle high traffic loads and support all types of digital services.
