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

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...

How does the Malaysian will be benefitted from 5G coverage?

The digital transformation catalysed by 5G coverage stands to create a potential GDP uplift of some RM100 billion and a further 100,000 new jobs by the year 2030. In addition to the long-term GDP and job opportunities, other key socioeconomic benefits include: Enabling the creation of more than 1,000 jobs to support the deployment of the 5G network Facilitating domestic vendor participation by involving them in the supply of various NEP-related services Seeding invaluable knowledge building programmes for industry, government, and academia Developing a 5G Experiential Centre and Innovation Lab to showcase 5G use cases and fast track the development of tech start-ups. DNB has identified several major industries that could be early beneficiaries of the 5G deployment, including oil and gas, ports, tourism, education, healthcare, agriculture, manufacturing, retail, as well as power and utilities.

The Healing Hands of 5G Healthcare

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...
