KUANTAN: Over 600 villagers in Kampung Orang Asli Kuala Boh, Cameron Highlands, will enjoy better communication and Internet coverage when the telecommunications tower in the village is fully operational in July.
State communications and multimedia, youth, sports and non-governmental organisation committee chairman Fadzli Mohamad Kamal said the tower, built by Edotco Group Sdn Bhd, was handed over to telecommunications company CelcomDigi Bhd (CelcomDigi) on Wednesday.
“CelcomDigi is the company appointed to carry out further work which includes the installation of electronic equipment, fibre optic connection and electricity supply, and the activation of 4G services,” he said, reported Bernama.
The unsatisfactory Internet and 4G services in the village had captured the attention of Yang di-Pertuan Agong Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri’ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah during His Majesty’s visit there in January.
Fadzli said Measat was providing 4G services on an interim basis using satellite to meet the needs of the villagers until the tower was fully operational.
