SEOUL: Malaysia will study the use of different spectrums and frequencies as used in South Korea to address the issue of Internet coverage within buildings, says Fahmi Fadzil.
The Communications Minister said the effectiveness of the method has been proven in South Korea, which also faced the same problem before.
“They informed me of a solution that involves one frequency, one spectrum, so I have asked MCMC to look into the findings and views from LG U+.
“If it is suitable and can be used in Malaysia, we will work on a proof of concept,” he told Bernama.
Earlier, Fahmi held a meeting with LG U+ executive vice-president Johan Sue-hyun Chung and senior officials of the telecommunications company, and attended a briefing on the status of 5G network coverage in South Korea.
Also present was Maxis chief executive officer Goh Seow Eng.
Fahmi was also briefed on an artificial intelligence (AI) application developed by LG U+ to help users answer phone calls, as well as detect elements of fraud.
Apart from that, he also visited the LG Sciencepark to see the largest research and study complex in South Korea, which showcased the company’s products in the automotive and logistics fields using AI technology.
On a separate matter, Fahmi asked Telekom Malaysia and LG U+ to look at the potential for cooperation in the implementation of 5G, especially for local companies in the industrial and enterprise sectors.
Founded in 1996, LG U+ is a leading South Korean telecommunications company, recognised for cutting-edge 5G, broadband and Internet of Things (IoT).
Fahmi is currently on a three-day working visit to South Korea.
Among others, he will deliver a keynote address at the GSMA Mobile 360 APAC conference and explore new collaboration opportunities in the film industry, as well as meet representatives from South Korean telecommunications companies to get input related to connectivity.
