MIRI: A total of 90 out of 339 5G sites in Sarawak have been completed so far.
The construction of 5G sites in Kuching, Bintulu and Miri is expected to be fully completed at the end of next year, said Communications and Multimedia Minister Tan Sri Annuar Musa.
He said the 5G network in these areas was expected to be a catalyst to support the state government’s digital economy agenda.
“We will continue to monitor the progress of these construction projects with the cooperation of state government agencies.
“We have also asked for cooperation from Sarawak Energy because all these facilities depend on a stable electricity supply,” Annuar told a press conference after the PerantiSiswa handing-over ceremony at the Teacher Education Institute Sarawak Campus here yesterday, Bernama reported.
At the ceremony, more than 500 students from various institutions received the device.
He said the ministry was committed to expediting the distribution of PerantiSiswa to recipients, adding that it aims to distribute 80% of the devices by the end of November.
