5G

Industry adoption of the superfast 5G network remains slow, despite about a third of Malaysia’s population signing up for it as of March.

More consumers in Malaysia are subscribing to 5G service. Malaysia has five telcos and the state-owned 5G operator is Digital Nasional Bhd . BAYAN LEPAS, Penang: As Malaysia ramps up adoption of its fifth-generation cellular network, or 5G, experts told CNA the country can learn from the experiences of other advanced economies that have rolled out 5G.

The 5G network has achieved a coverage of slightly over 80 per cent in populated areas, while the government is planning a second such network that will be ready in two years.that the roll-out hit a snag in early December, after a complex government-sponsored settlement agreement broke down. The agreement was between state-owned 5G operator, Digital Nasional Bhd , and the country’s five private mobile telecommunications companies.

The workshop aimed to connect industries with vendors showcasing various 5G applications that can enhance operational productivity and efficiency. Malaysia is urging the manufacturing sector to quickly adopt 5G and cutting-edge technologies such as industrial robots and automation in its operations to remain relevant and competitive. However, it needs reliable, secure and fast 5G infrastructure to enable digital transformation.“It definitely needs to be collaborated with mobile network operators, with industry players, the system integrator, the vendors, etc. All have to come together to realise this goal,” he added.

Mr David Morrison, director of Huawei Technologies’ chief transformation office, said the entry point should be lowered to get people to buy into the network.“Charge OpEx which they can afford. They get locked in for a period to ensure there's a pay back. Once they start doing that, then it will explode like it has in China, South Korea and Japan everywhere else.”
