KUALA LUMPUR: Huawei has provided hundreds of mobile network sites as well as cloud services and intelligent operation centres in Sarawak, which have helped improve wireless network coverage in remote areas, accelerating the country’s digital transformation, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim (pic).
Through his visit and high-level meeting with the Huawei delegation earlier Thursday (Nov 7) in Beijing, the Prime Minister said he was informed about several Huawei technologies being utilised to address certain issues in Malaysia, particularly in bridging the digital divide.
"I was impressed by the technological progress and solutions developed by Huawei, which include 5.5G, cloud computing, and artificial intelligence (AI) that have catalysed digital transformation in government and industry sectors,” he said in his official Facebook post.
