How Malaysian's Can Take Advantage of The 5G Spectrum

 


The rollout of 5G telecommunication services in Malaysia has been fraught with controversy.

Ericsson and Digital Nasional Berhad (DNB) have agreed to a 10-year cooperation to build a statewide 5G wholesale network for Malaysia.

Ericsson will supply end-to-end 5G services, including core, RAN, and transport, as well as operations and business support systems (OSS/BSS) and managed services.

DNB is certain that it will reach 500 5G-enabled facilities this year. The network is expected to have 10,167 locations when 5G coverage reaches more than 90% of the country. 

Other important benefits of the 5g network, in addition to the long-term GDP and job opportunities, include:

- More than 1,000 jobs will be created to assist the deployment of the 5G network.

- Increasing domestic vendor participation by enlisting them in the provision of various NEP-related services.

- To exhibit 5G use cases and accelerate the growth of digital start-ups, a 5G Experiential Centre and Innovation Lab is being developed.

According to Digital Nasional Berhard, oil and gas, ports, tourism, education, healthcare, agriculture, manufacturing, retail, and electricity and utilities are among the major industries that could gain from the early adoption of 5G.

5G The Next Wave Of Wireless Connections & Network Provider Introduction: What is 5G? 5G is the next generation of wireless communications. It offers a number of improvements over the current 4G LTE and 3G networks, including faster speeds and lower latency. It also has better coverage in other areas, making it more accessible to people who live in these areas. 5G is not just about faster data speeds though. It also has a number of other advantages that are worth mentioning: - Lower latency for real-time applications like augmented reality or remote operations - Higher capacity for more devices to connect simultaneously - Support for new use cases like streaming virtual reality content - Reduced power consumption   How 5G Networks Will Change the Way You Live, Work & Play? 5G networks will be the next revolution in the world of telecommunications. The new standard will provide faster data transfer rates, lower latency, and increased capacity. The increased speed and low lat...

DNB's 5G Telecommunication Services in Malaysia

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...

Impact of 5G on the Digital Economy

 The digital economy represents the end-to-end digitization of business processes and everyday activities—an achievement that requires integrating connectivity, software and hardware. 5G will deliver faster connections (up to 20x the speeds of 4G), increased network capacity (up to 100x the traffic capacity of 4G), ultra-low latency and improved reliability (up to 10x lower than 4G) as well as enhanced security. Let's find five industries that will be most impacted by 5G 1. Transportation & Tourism -3D motion tracking -AR/VR immersive experience of tourist sites -Remote access to interesting locations and experiences Manufacturing: - Drones in industries for real-time observation -Autonomous and AI robotics -IoT and connected sensors - AR asset diagnostics Healthcare: -Cranes with remote control -Port operations are monitored via intelligent video surveillance. -Logistics tracking and monitoring on a self-contained basis -Tugboats, security came...
