5G for All: Accelerating a Digital Future for Malaysia

5G is going to be an economic driver for the Malaysia country, improving the quality of life, and improving the industry, SMEs, and the government sector. 5G will drive efficiencies, increase productivity, and create new opportunities throughout the entire economy.


Digital Nasional Berhad (DNB) was established in 2021 to deliver the following key outcomes in line with the goals of the Malaysia Digital Economy Blueprint (MyDIGITAL):

1. Malaysian 5G infrastructure and network implementation should be accelerated.

2. Recognize the potential for 5G to boost economic activity in Malaysia.

3. Encourage competition in the communications business based on service.

4. Close the digital divide between urban and rural areas and improve infrastructure.

5. Improve infrastructure and make better use of limited resources.

The Innovation Centre for 5G (IC5G) is a good platform for advancing the Malaysian people's interests in ensuring that everyone has access to affordable and high-quality broadband. Visit the Digital Nasional Berhad (DNB) website for further details.

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...
