KUALA LUMPUR: YTL Communications has become the first telco in Malaysia to commercially launch 5G Advanced through its service brand, Yes.
The rollout, already deployed in the Klang Valley and set for nationwide completion by December 2025, delivers deeper 5G coverage, faster performance and artificial intelligence (AI)-ready connectivity to benefit consumers and businesses alike.
YTL Communications chief executive officer Wing K. Lee said this is more than a network upgrade; it is a game-changer.
"With 5G Advanced, Malaysians can enjoy broader and deeper 5G coverage nationwide, and a high-performance wireless network unlike anything the country has experienced before,” he said in a statement today.
Wing noted that leveraging advanced spectrum integration of 700 megahertz (MHz) and 3500MHz, Yes 5G Advanced offers stronger indoor penetration and broader outdoor coverage, keeping users connected to 5G more consistently for both data and voice (via Voice over New Radio), while delivering the best 5G performance.
According to the statement, 5G Advanced includes a "VIP lane” feature, which ensures consistent connectivity across the Yes 5G network.
With high throughput for downloads and uploads, ultra-low latency and intelligent traffic management, Yes 5G Advanced ensures best-in-class performance across activities such as streaming, gaming and mission-critical industrial applications, said the mobile operator. - Bernama
