The year 2025 marks a true inflection point in the global technological transition. Digital technology is no longer merely a tool that supports business operations; it has become a core infrastructure of the modern economy. Artificial Intelligence (AI), cloud computing, data centers, and high-speed data connectivity are now fundamental to the long-term competitiveness of nations and organizations alike.
Within this context, Interlink Telecom Public Company Limited is entering one of the most important phases in its growth journey — a period in which the digital infrastructure we have steadily built over many years is beginning to transform into a powerful engine for the company’s next wave of growth.
From “Network Provider” to “Enabler of the Digital Economy”
Over the years, ITEL has remained firmly committed to its role as a provider of stable, reliable, and trusted communications infrastructure. We have always believed that no matter how advanced technology becomes, without high-quality connectivity, it cannot deliver real value.
Connectivity infrastructure is therefore not merely one component of the digital ecosystem; it is the foundation that defines the growth potential of businesses, nations, and the economy as a whole. When this foundation is strong, economic activity can expand continuously and without disruption.
In 2025, this role is elevated to the next level. ITEL moves beyond being a “network provider” to becoming a strategic enabler of the digital economy, supporting the private sector, public sector, and advanced technology industries alike.
Infrastructure Ready for the AI and Hyperscale Era, When Data Centers Come Online Together, Connectivity Becomes the Decisive Factor
The rapid growth of AI, cloud services, and hyperscale data centers is fundamentally reshaping the global technology landscape. Data centers are no longer simply facilities that house servers; they are the core engines of the digital economy, operating continuously on a 24/7 basis.
However, experience from many countries clearly demonstrates that the presence of numerous data centers alone does not guarantee digital readiness. Without high-quality connectivity, data centers cannot effectively support large-scale AI workloads, enterprise-grade cloud systems, or cross-regional digital services.
AI providers and hyperscalers therefore require networks that go beyond speed — networks that offer stability, security, scalability, and seamless connectivity at both national and regional levels, enabling distributed data processing across multiple data centers simultaneously.
With ITEL’s nationwide fiber-optic network spanning both railway corridors and road networks, and with infrastructure designed to support data center interconnection, the Company is well positioned to meet the needs of this rapidly evolving industry today and in the years ahead.
In the coming years, Thailand will see the commissioning of multiple large-scale data centers to support global cloud services, AI processing, and digital infrastructure for both public and private sectors. Connectivity between these data centers will become a critical determinant of the country’s competitiveness in the digital economy.
Expanding Beyond Networks to Integrated Digital Services
ITEL continues to build upon its core infrastructure business by expanding into high-value digital services, creating more diversified and sustainable revenue streams. We believe that long-term growth is not driven solely by scale, but by elevating the Company’s role in alignment with the direction of the digital economy.
In 2025, the Company focuses on five key technology domains that extend directly from ITEL’s core network expertise: Big Data & AI Analytics, Cloud & Edge Computing, Cybersecurity & Blockchain, IoT, Drone & Smart Infrastructure, and Green Technology & Sustainability. These capabilities support the needs of enterprises, government agencies, and key industries nationwide.
These technologies are not departures from ITEL’s core business. Rather, they are extensions of our network expertise, integrated into a practical digital ecosystem that spans healthcare technology, enterprise system integration such as ERP (including SAP), connectivity services for cloud providers and hyperscalers, and drone and anti-drone solutions that rely on real-time connectivity, network resilience, and secure data management.
Growth Through Strategic Partnerships Toward Becoming a Regional Operator
In 2025, ITEL places strong emphasis on elevating its role through disciplined, purpose-driven strategic partnerships. The Company recognizes that the next phase of growth cannot rely solely on domestic expansion, but must come from enhancing organizational capabilities to operate at a regional level.
The addition of a strategic investor and strategic partner such as SEAX Global represents a significant milestone in ITEL’s evolution — extending the Company’s role from a domestic infrastructure provider to an integral part of a regional network ecosystem capable of supporting cross-border, cross-data-center, and multi-cloud connectivity. The integration of domestic network assets, regional connectivity capabilities, and strategic partnerships positions ITEL to evolve into a Regional Digital Infrastructure Operator, capable of supporting enterprise customers, cloud service providers, and data center operators both nationally and across the region.
A Year of Foundation-Building for the Next Phase of Acceleration
While 2025 may not reflect ITEL’s strongest financial results, it is a year of profound strategic importance — a year focused on building structure, investing in capability, and preparing for the next phase of growth.
We are confident that with a strong infrastructure foundation, expanded capabilities, and a clear strategic direction, the year ahead will see ITEL’s potential increasingly translate into tangible results, enabling sustainable and resilient long-term growth.
Finally, on behalf of the Board of Directors, management, and employees, I would like to express my sincere appreciation to our shareholders for your continued trust and support. We remain firmly committed to creating long-term value for our shareholders, customers, and Thai society.
