In a move poised to significantly enhance the benefits of 5G technology for Malaysians, Telekom Malaysia Bhd (TM) has expressed its support for the government’s decision to implement a 5G dual network system. As of April 2024, Malaysia boasts approximately 13.2 million 5G subscribers, indicating a growing demand for improved connectivity. The dual network approach aims to manage this increased traffic effectively while reducing the risks associated with dependence on a single network. This strategic split promises to bolster Malaysia’s digital transformation efforts, resulting in enhanced connectivity, innovation, and economic growth across various sectors.
The Malaysian government has designated U Mobile to spearhead the second 5G network, complementing the efforts of TM. Leveraging its extensive fiber infrastructure, comprehensive digital platforms, and experience in network rollout, TM is well-positioned to support this ambitious initiative. The company remains dedicated to providing seamless and reliable 5G services to consumers and businesses, committing to the creation of a robust digital ecosystem. TM’s strategy focuses on becoming a Digital Powerhouse by 2030, aiming to drive digital innovation and support the broader 5G ecosystem.
Furthermore, TM’s initiative emphasizes the importance of ensuring comprehensive access to high-quality digital services and solutions. This commitment underlines the company’s pledge to continue contributing to Malaysia’s digital nation development. By collaborating with U Mobile and other key stakeholders, TM aims to deliver an unparalleled digital experience to all Malaysian users. This cohesive effort is expected to play a crucial role in shaping the future of Malaysia’s digital landscape, offering improved connectivity and fostering significant economic advancements.
