CelcomDigi today announced that it has reached a new milestone in its post-merger network integration and modernisation exercise after completing upgrades in Penang and surpassing the halfway point nationwide. This puts the company ahead of schedule, whereby within a year, CelcomDigi has achieved more than 50% of its targeted nationwide upgrades, in what was expected to be a 3-year exercise.
In a statement, CelcomDigi said that at the current rate, it is set to complete 75% of network upgrades by the end of the year. This places the company in the prime spot to deploy Malaysia’s 2nd 5G network.
CelcomDigi’s CEO Datuk Idham Nawawi said, “We remain very committed to building and growing Malaysia’s 5G ecosystem, both on the infrastructure and applications layer. By the end of 2024, more than two-thirds of our network will be modernised making it the largest, most modern digital network in the country. This 5G-ready network is primed to enable fast deployment of 5G and 5G-Advanced technology across our wide footprint and is ready to be commissioned as one of the largest standalone 5G networks in the region.”
