Professor Prokar Dasgupta, Professor of Robotic Surgery and Urological Innovation King’s College, London, led a prostate surgery at Guy’s Hospital, London. While it is a common procedure, Professor Dasgupta was in an entirely different part of the building at the time of the surgery. Present at the operating theatre itself was Malaysian urologist Dr. Warren Lo and an expert medical team. Dr. Lo operated on the patient using the state-of-the-art da Vinci robotic surgical system. He manipulated four modular and highly manoeuvrable robotic arms via a sophisticated, wired control unit. Dasgupta observed the surgery in real time from his location and directed Dr. Lo via an extended reality (XR) interface that “projected” his hand gestures onto a high-resolution video feed that Dr. Warren and his team were looking at in the operating theatre. But Dr. Lo, now a consultant urologist at Gleneagles Hospital, sees a future where not just the tele-mentoring portion of the surgery – but control ove...

Malaysia’s journey in rolling out 5G telecommunication services has been one peppered with controversy. The initial consortia method was met with derision from the industry, with players jostling to be in the driver’s seat in the rollout of the next great money spinner for the telecommunications industry. It was the followed by an uproar when a few months later, the highly sought-after 5G spectrum was awarded without an open tender by the Perikatan Nasional administration to five companies, but after that massive public backlash, the decision was quickly revoked. Then came the controversial decision to roll out 5G via a government-owned entity, under a single wholesale network . The decision to entrust the 5G rollout to Digital Nasional Bhd ( DNB ) drew the inevitable criticism from many parties, and it was a decision that had not been carried out elsewhere with any degree of success as concerns centred over the effectiveness of the model, which was never tested elsewhere in the world...

The previous generations of mobile networks are 1G, 2G, 3G, and 4G. 1G Full form - First generation Year of Inception - 1980s Feature - 1G delivered analog voice. Bandwidth - 2kbps 2G Full form - Second generation Year of Inception - Early 1990s Features: 2G introduced digital voice (e.g. CDMA- Code Division Multiple Access). Bandwidth - 14kbps to 64kbps 3G Full form - Third generation Year of Inception - Early 2000s Features - 3G brought mobile data (e.g. CDMA2000). Bandwidth - 2Mbps 4G/4G LTE Full form - Forth generation Year of Inception - 2010s: Features - 4G LTE ushered in the era of mobile broadband. Bandwidth - 2000Mbps to 1Gbps 1G, 2G, 3G, and 4G all led to 5G, which is designed to provide more connectivity than was ever available before. 5G Bandwidth - 1Gbps and higher 5G is a unified, more capable air interface.
