CAT Telecom will install 126 high-speed internet kiosks at Suvarnabhumi Airport in a joint venture with airport authorities.
The kiosks will feature terminals with a 10 Mbps internet service, free of charge for tourists.
The project would help the airport achieve its goal of ranking among the world's top 10 airports by the end of the year, said Sereerat Prasutanont, the president of Airports of Thailand Plc.
The kiosks will be available for both international and domestic travellers. Four terminals have already been installed since last month.
Each of the internet kiosks comes with two screens. The upper screen will show news and announcements from CAT and AoT. The lower display will be for users, who will be limited to a 15-minute session before being automatically logged off.
Mr Sereerat said that AoT was also making other improvements at the airport, including the rollout of free WiFi internet throughout, and improving seats in waiting areas.
AOT has also installed free mobile phone battery chargers within the terminal and automatic check-in terminals for travellers.
