True Corporation Upgrades 5G Network in Phuket to Support Nene Royal AGT Fever
True Corporation is deploying True5G infrastructure upgrades at the Naka Market in Phuket to manage anticipated crowds for 16-year-old Thai rock artist Praew “Nene Royal” Amlom, following her breakout performances on Season 21 of America’s Got Talent. The surge in public interest follows her viral momentum, which saw viewership top 40 million views in a single night.
Infrastructure Upgrades at Naka Market for Live Streaming and Heavy Traffic
Following successful appearances in the Auditions and Judges’ Callbacks rounds of America’s Got Talent Season 21 (AGT 2026) and ahead of upcoming Live Shows in the United States, local venues expect an influx of fans and media personnel documenting her homecoming events.
To handle the expected surge in mobile data consumption, True has upgraded base stations at the Naka Market. Engineers have increased cell capacity and adjusted signal parameters specifically for high-density public areas. These technical enhancements are designed to maintain high-speed connectivity for live streaming, high-resolution video uploads, and real-time social media engagement.
Real-Time Network Monitoring and Regional Performance Metrics
According to network operational data, True has activated a War Room at its Business Network Intelligence Center (BNIC). The facility utilizes artificial intelligence systems to monitor network health and manage signal distribution 24 hours a day across key tourist routes and gathering points in Phuket.
These temporary enhancements build on a broader Network Modernization initiative across Phuket. Regional data indicates that recent infrastructure updates have increased 5G speeds by 30 percent and 4G speeds by 18 percent. Signal strength metrics also show improvements, with 5G rising 16 percent and 4G climbing 23 percent. Furthermore, overall traffic handling capacity expanded by 49 percent on 5G networks and 18 percent on 4G systems, while network congestion incidents decreased by 97 percent for 5G and 66 percent for 4G users.
Global Recognition and Brand Impact
The 16-year-old artist’s international trajectory has drawn significant attention across both domestic and foreign media channels. According to Thairath and Amarin TV, her journey on AGT 2026 culminated in her appearance on massive digital billboards in New York City’s Times Square, generating widespread public engagement. Meanwhile, fellow judge Howie Mandel acknowledged the competitive difficulty of the current season while highlighting the performer’s rapid ascent toward global recognition, noting viewership figures exceeding 40 million in a single night according to Manager Online.
Managing public visibility of this scale requires substantial logistical coordination.
Next Steps for the Global Competition
With network preparations finalized across Phuket’s key transit and retail hubs, local telecom operators are positioned to maintain service stability as supporters follow the remaining stages of the competition. The artist prepares to transition from recorded preliminary rounds to competitive Live Broadcasts originating from the United States, extending a wave of domestic attention that has mobilized both regional infrastructure providers and international entertainment analysts alike.
