AIS continues to showcase the potential of 5G to deliver new digital experiences as the number 1 provider. Now AIS 5G has teamed up with Samsung to upgrade the 5G network to deliver Voice over 5G New radio (VoNR). 

Calls can now be made over the AIS 5G’s smart 5G SA network, unlocked by Samsung’s latest Galaxy S21 Ultra, S21+ and S21 smartphones. It is a noteworthy boost of high-quality audio delivered with the speed and strength of 5G for the first time in Thailand.

Compared to other telephone services, VoNR generates a dialling tone more quickly, with enhanced audio and picture quality. The result is an upgraded user experience for the first time in Thailand. Callers hear uninterrupted crystal-clear audio with no cross-talk or interference. It is now much faster to connect as the signal travels on the AIS 5G network. 

AIS customers using Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra, S21+ and S21 smartphones can now be the first to unlock the experience of using the 5G SA network and its superior call quality of both clear sound and faster connections enabled by 5G. AIS and Samsung will continue working together to bring ever more digital innovation to customers.

Pratthana Leelapanang, Chief Consumer Business Officer at AIS
AIS was the first to launch 5G NSA/SA in Thailand to improve call service efficiency for customers. We were the first to trial Voice over 5G New Radio (VoNR), a fixed-line telecom service using Standalone (SA) architecture which makes full use of the 5G network. 

Sittichok Noppachinbut, Vice President, Telecommunication and IT Business, Thai Samsung Electronics
The Samsung Galaxy S21 Series is our first flagship smartphone to support VoNR. It will enable customers using the 5G SA network to enjoy a more efficient service in both sound quality and less waiting for a ringtone.
