Today, Telekom Malaysia Berhad (TM) have installed two 5G base stations at the Malaysia Agro Exposition Park (MAEPS), Serdang and the Institut Latihan Kementerian Kesihatan Malaysia, Sungai Buloh, Selangor. This is a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative which will enable the frontliners and medical staff to take advantage of the network speed to run their operations for free.
According to their report, the two quarantine centres have 50 complimentary units of 5G Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) terminals in total. The 5G network can deliver the speed up to 500Mbps WiFi connectivity for users and all WiFi usage. Besides the frontliners and medical staff to respond to any emergencies, the patients can also stay connected with their friends and family during their stay in the quarantine zone. This is not the first time that the company have installed a 5G base, as they previously established an Integrated Operations Command Centre (IOCC) or known as TM 5G Command Centre (5GCC) in Langkawi which was well received.
Just for statistics, the highest record TM ever witnessed was 1.5Gbps during many of their 5G speed tests. On top of that, the company was also the first telco to deploy 700 MHz and C-Band (3.5 GHz) on a Standalone (SA) dedicated 5G network simultaneously. In addition, it deployed a 5G Core Network (5GC), 700MHz and 3.5 GHz SA dedicated 5G network and a 5G Centralised Radio Access Network (RAN).
Dato' Noor Kamarul Anuar Nuruddin, Group Chief Executive Officer of TM, would like to thank the Government and Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) for allowing them to set up the 5G bases during this Movement Control Order period. The company will move forward steadily to the next Industrial Revolution 4.0 (IR4.0) and rolling out 5G nationwide, in order to improve the citizens lives to be a digital society.
