CityNews – From May 12, Advanced Info Service PLC (AIS) and Starbucks began rolling out AIS SUPER Wifi in all Starbucks stores across the country (apart from Suvarnabuhmi Airport).
Customers of AIS and Starbucks can enjoy a maximum speed of up to 650 Mbps, allowing fast and unlimited online navigation. Enjoy a cup of your favorite Starbucks beverage while staying connected to the digital world and social networks.
Additionally, AIS Serenade customers will enjoy exclusive privileges: Buy a second cup of a Starbucks beverage and receive a 50% discount on Thursdays from 4 pm to midnight (or until the store closes).
Mr. Hui Weng Cheong, Chief Operating Officer of AIS, said: “AIS is dedicated to providing a special experience in tune with the digital lifestyle of Thai people in the 4G era. That is why we have developed the Best Network for mobile, encompassing 3G, 4G and the recently launched 4.5G, fixed broadband and public WiFi.”
“To further this growth, we continue to expand our AIS SUPER WiFi network, which is now available at 120,000 hotspots all over Thailand – including shopping malls, community malls, airports, universities, hospitals and BTS stations. By the end of 2016, our network will cover more than 160,000 hotspots so that people can remain connected all times, when they are away from home or work, be it indoors or outdoors.”
The recent deal allows AIS to provide the maximum 650 Mbps SUPER WiFi service, to AIS customers who visit any Starbucks store (except Suvarnabhumi Airport) around Thailand.
Mr. Murray Darling, Managing Director of Starbucks Coffee (Thailand) Co., Ltd., said: “It is with our core philosophy that customers and partners (employees) are at the center of everything Starbucks does – drives innovation throughout the company and helps shape the future of retail. Starbucks passion to innovate is apparent in the way the company operates from sourcing coffee beans to developing new beverages, and from creating unique store concepts throughout 258 locations across Thailand to providing unrivaled digital breakthroughs that are second to none.”
AIS customers who currently use AIS SUPER WiFi will be automatically connected when they visit Starbucks, with no additional application or registration needed. Other Starbucks customers can enjoy AIS WiFi as well.
