Kampung Orang Asli Kerling first site for Starlink POC in Malaysia, says Teo Nie Ching


HULU SELANGOR: Kampung Orang Asli Kerling here has become the first location in the country to implement a proof-of-concept (POC) for Starlink as an alternative to fibre optics for improved telecommunications connectivity.

Deputy Communications Minister Teo Nie Ching said the choice of Starlink as the core connection to the National Digital Network Plan (Jendela) tower in the village was made due to the challenges of installing fibre optic cables.
