As Malaysia targets 80% 5G network coverage in populated areas by year-end, CelcomDigi is set to launch initiatives promoting the adoption of the next-generation network among local businesses.

“To push 5G, we need a robust ecosystem,” said Datuk Idham Nawawi, CEO of CelcomDigi, at the company’s inaugural MY5G Conference and Showcase in Kuala Lumpur, which drew over 400 leaders and decision-makers representing 220 companies spanning 30 different industries.
