KUALA LUMPUR: The government's decision to transition from single wholesale network (SWN) to dual wholesale network (DWN) for the 5G deployment beginning next year will provide broader options for mobile network operators (MNOs) to offer their services, said an analyst.

GlobalData principal analyst Alfie Amir highlighted that having more than one 5G network in the country is a positive move by the government, albeit still being far from ideal.
