Park Venture-FYI Center-Samyan Mitrtown Receives WiredScore Certification, Setting International Digital Connectivity Standards for Existing Buildings
Frasers Property Commercial (Thailand), or "FPCT," a leading provider of Grade A office buildings in the heart of Bangkok's CBD, under Frasers Property Thailand Public Company Limited, has become the first in Thailand to manage office buildings that meet international digital connectivity standards. The three buildings in FPCT's portfolio, namely Park Venture Eco-plex, FYI Center, and Samyan Mitrtown, have been certified by "WiredScore," a global leader in assessing connectivity capabilities and future-ready technology infrastructure.
Mr. Witthawat Kuttatep, Assistant CEO of Commercial Projects at Frasers Property Commercial (Thailand), stated, "Every operation under the Frasers Property Thailand brand prioritizes the 'customer experience.' For our office buildings, we not only focus on enhancing service delivery to meet the needs of tenants and users but also emphasize essential infrastructure for effective work. By providing efficient digital experiences, we align with being a leading Grade A office building. This WiredScore certification reinforces our company's capabilities and the technological potential of all three buildings to deliver connectivity services that meet international standards. Furthermore, it demonstrates our ability to meet the evolving digital demands of users today, which have advanced since the buildings were constructed, even after being operational for some time."
WiredScore, the organization assessing digital connectivity standards, has expanded its operations to Thailand for the first time, with Frasers Property Commercial (Thailand) pioneering the certification of three leading Grade A office buildings. Park Venture Eco-plex has achieved Platinum certification, the highest level, while FYI Center and Samyan Mitrtown have received Gold certification. All three buildings have been operational for over 6-11 years, reflecting FPCT's leadership in the rental office building business, with experience and expertise in developing buildings that align with user behavior and technology. Despite changes, these office buildings remain modern, adaptable, and flexible to technological demands. Additionally, FPCT has two more buildings, Sathorn Square and Silom Edge, currently undergoing assessment, expected to be completed by the end of 2023.
The three certified office buildings have undergone significant evaluations in four key areas: Connectivity, Readiness, Infrastructure, and Innovation. Tenants and users of office buildings managed by Frasers Property Commercial (Thailand) can be assured of excellent digital facilitation through modern technology that is highly adaptable to future changes.
Ms. Thomasin Crowley, Director of WiredScore for the Asia-Pacific region, added, "The real estate market in Thailand has changed significantly over the past few years. This change has created opportunities for building owners and developers to implement world-class digital connectivity technology within their buildings. Since WiredScore launched in Thailand, we have worked with Frasers Property Commercial (Thailand) to unlock the potential of their office buildings, ensuring that their properties are equipped with modern, standardized technology to provide the best experience for users now and in the future."
Frasers Property Commercial (Thailand) prioritizes stability, coverage, and performance of digital signals within its buildings. In addition to providing high-speed internet as a standard, the infrastructure is designed to accommodate multiple service providers, giving tenants options for service. There is also a backup network for emergencies, with ongoing monitoring of mobile signal strength throughout the buildings and the installation of signal boosters to enhance connectivity. Each building also features robust security systems to protect against potential disasters.
"Frasers Property Commercial (Thailand) will continue to comprehensively develop office building services in all dimensions to promote the well-being and efficiency of tenants and users, aligning with the company's philosophy of creating spaces that provide lasting positive experiences and serve as a model for leading office buildings in Thailand," Mr. Witthawat concluded.
