NEC is deploying digital television transmitters for the Thai Public Broadcasting Service (Thai PBS) in its 44 locations across the Southeast Asian Kingdom.
The work is scheduled to be complete by August 2015.
Thai PBS became the first digital TV operator in Thailand, after its digital TV transmitters at Bangkok Station began commercial operation on 1 April 2014. Its digital network will support six channels.
"This is a great success, where we are meeting all the schedules set by National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) regulating authority," said Mongkon Leelatum, deputy director general, Thai PBS.
Hiroshi Sato, president, NEC Corporation (Thailand), added: "We are glad to support Thai PBS in providing an enhanced viewing experience for their audience. NEC has provided innovative broadcasting solutions to over 100 countries, helping many customers successfully transition to sophisticated digital broadcasting from analogue systems."
