Currently, AIS is joining with Koh Samui Municipality and Lighting & Equipment Public Company Limited or L&E to develop Smart Lighting solutions on the NB-IoT network, an innovative intelligent lighting to increase safety in the city area by the pilot program toward real use in the project "Improve security performance, reduce and prevent road accidents, and save energy” to promote Koh Samui tourism in Surat Thani province", which is already completed with the installation of 4,773 lamps across the streets of Koh Samui to promote Koh Samui to be "Samui Smart City", build confidence and security for Thais and foreign tourists traveling to Koh Samui, as well as strengthen the tourism sector to drive the tourism economy on Koh Samui to be robust again.
AIS is ready to continue and test the Smart Pole technology on the 5G network.

Smart Lighting is an innovation of intelligent lighting whose operation and data connection is driven by The NB-IoT network technology, which can operate without restrictions in distance and obstacles, making the system stable; hence increasing the ability to connect to the sensor embedded in the L&E lighting equipment installed throughout the Koh Samui area to control the on and off or dim the light automatically following the climate. Moreover, the lighting of lamps in each area can be checked via the Samui Smart City Command Center; hence enhancing the efficiency of lighting infrastructure management of Koh Samui Municipality, creating the possibility to use resources efficiently, as well as to provide effective safety for citizens and tourists; lifting Koh Samui to full mode of Samui Smart City.
