CelcomDigi has launched its AI Experience Center, AiX, in Malaysia to drive digital solutions across various industries. Located in Subang Jaya, AiX offers interactive simulations and showcases real-world applications in sectors like healthcare and logistics. Supported by global tech giants, this initiative underscores Malaysia’s commitment to advancing 5G and AI technologies.
A Malaysian government-backed task force convenes today, in light of the impending launch of a second 5G network. With the first network boasting over 80% connectivity coverage, anticipation thrives. In an unexpected twist, the government took control after declining a traditional 5G spectrum auction. Initial resistance from local mobile operators eventually sheared, replacing defiance with a collaborative investment. The ensuing 5G network, however, aims to break this monopoly, fostering competition.
Malaysia’s 5G space sees major collaborative efforts as five mobile network operators (MNOs) each nets a 14% equity stake in Digital Nasional Berhad (DNB), forming a total 70% share. The remaining 30% will rest with the government. This bolstering of DNB’s finances aims to facilitate the evolution from the current Single Wholesale Network model to a more efficient Dual Network one.
Telekom Malaysia partners with rival Maxis to share Radio Access Network infrastructure, significantly boosting its 4G coverage and strengthening its position in Malaysia’s mobile market. This collaboration aims to benefit both companies and customers while fostering innovation and cost-efficiency.
