Changes ahead for 5G rollout


PETALING JAYA: Malaysia will make the switch to a dual wholesale network (DWN) model for 5G, potentially by early next year, after 5G coverage reaches 80% of the country’s populated areas by the end ofthis year.

The decision to maintain status quo and continue with the single wholesale network (SWN) model, where Digital Nasional Bhd (DNB) will continue to roll out the 5G network infrastructure in the country until the targeted coverage is achieved, comes after five months since the announcement of the 5G rollout review by the government.
