FSO technology can solve Internet access issues in challenging areas, says Fahmi


SEMPORNA: The Free-Space Optical Communication (FSO) technology used by Telekom Malaysia Bhd (TM) to provide high-speed Internet coverage to residents on Pulau Bum Bum here has the potential to be deployed in other parts of the country, says Fahmi Fadzil.

The Communications Minister said that based on his observations of the FSO technology on Pulau Bum Bum Saturday (May 18), it could be utilised as a solution to provide access in challenging areas, particularly those where building telecommunications towers is difficult.
