CelcomDigi CEO Datuk Idham Nawawi
KUALA LUMPUR: CelcomDigi Bhd has submitted its proposal for the deployment of Malaysia's second 5G network to the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC).
In a statement, CEO Datuk Idham Nawawi said the proposal sets out a plan to build the most advanced 5G network and accelerates its adoption for consumers and enterprises.
"We have an opportunity to capitalise and build on the existing solid infrastructure, financial strength and robust ecosystem that we have invested in.
"We believe that we have submitted a compelling case to deploy Malaysia’s second 5G network - either alone or in partnership with others - towards ensuring a thriving 5G ecosystem built for the nation,” he said.
CelcomDigi said by the end of the year, more than two-thirds of the company’s network will be modernised, making it the largest and most advanced digital network in the country.
It said the 18,000-site strong 5G-ready network is primed to enable fast deployment of 5G and 5G-Advanced technology across its wide footprint, and is ready to be commissioned as one of the largest advanced 5G networks in the region.
