Abstract

    This paper describes the Internet of Things (IoT) which has been embraced as a key factor to create massive disruptions in telecommunications, economy, and the ways people are living. The aim of the paper is to satisfy two major objectives. First, to present a review and necessary information on state-of-the-art IoT technologies, applications, and technical characteristics related to radio spectrum to the general public. Second, to provide the Office of the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) the analytical data and recommendations for designing a spectrum management plan for IoT over the 5 and 10 year timeframes. A regulatory status which affects the adoption and development of IoT technologies in Thailand is discussed. The paper aims at supporting the Office of the NBTC to create a regulatory ecosystem and a policy direction that bolster the growth of IoT technologies while ensuring sufficient resources and maintaining spectrum efficiency. The key factors concerned in spectrum planning to avoid investment redundancies and connection incompatibilities are also highlighted in the paper.
