KUALA LUMPUR: The adoption of the Wireless Bridging System (WBS), which leverages existing resources for Internet connectivity, is seen as the best solution to realise the aspiration of achieving 100% mobile broadband coverage nationwide by 2025.

Science, Technology and Innovation Minister Chang Lih Kang said the government might consider the WBS, as it could serve as a faster and more affordable temporary solution for improving internet access in remote areas.
