What is 5G and What is the Future of 5G in Malaysia?

What is 5G?

5G is the latest generation of cellular technology.

It is meant to deliver faster, more reliable, and lower latency connectivity than earlier generations. It is set to revolutionise our everyday experiences and open up a future of unparalleled possibilities.

1G vs 2G vs 3G vs 4G vs 5G

1G - Came into inception in 1980. Features - mobile calls only at 2 Kbps of speed. 

2G - Came into inception in 1990. Features - mobile calls and SMS at 64 Kbps of speed.

3G - Came into inception in 2000s. Features mobile calls, SMS, MMS, web browsing at 2 Mbps of speed.

4G - Came into inception in 2010s. Features mobile calls, SMS, MMS, web browsing, video calls at 1 Gbps of speed.

5G - Features - all that you can do with 4G network as well as augmented reality, virtual reality and artificial intelligence.

How Will 5G Enable Unparalleled Possibilities for the Future?

  • 10x to 100x faster speeds, thereby making downloading and uploading large data or content a breeze
  • 1000x more connections than 4G. One million connected devices per square kilometre
  • 5x quicker response meaning sending and receiving information is now more efficient
  • 5x more energy efficient compared to earlier generations

5G – A Game Changer

5G will drive the next evolution in connectivity to deliver groundbreaking solutions and redefine a new standard in wireless networking.

Elevate your everyday experiences

Setting the stage for more personalised and connected experiences that are wholly immersive and engaging.

Towards a more digitally inclusive society

Ensuring there’s fair and equitable connectivity for all in order to bridge the urban-rural digital divide.

Entire industries transformed and reimagined

Creating a strong foundation for enterprises to be more efficient, autonomous, competitive, and innovative.

What is the future of 5G in Malaysia?

Digital Nasional Berhad (DNB) which is wholly owned by the Minister of Finance (Incorporated) has been mandated by the Government of Malaysia to be the single neutral party to undertake the deployment of 5G infrastructure and network nationwide and is licensed under the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998 (the Act) to provide wholesale 5G coverage and capacity to other licensees under the Act.

DNB was established to assist in delivering the following key outcomes in line with the MyDigital aspirations to:
  • Accelerate deployment of 5G infrastructure and network in Malaysia
  • Realise the potential of 5G in Malaysia to spur economic activity
  • Narrow the urban-rural digital divide and improve the current state of infrastructure
  • Avoid duplication of infrastructure and optimise the use of scarce resources
  • Promote service-based competition within the telecommunications industry

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...

What are the differences between 1G vs 2G vs 3G vs 4G vs 5G Network?

History of Networks Simply, the "G" stands for "GENERATION". 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. It has been designed with an extended capacity to enable next-generation user experie...
