Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim hopes to make Malaysia a global leader in 5G technology through continued investment and collaboration with Swedish telecommunications giant Ericsson. Recently, Anwar met with a delegation led by Ericsson Group President and CEO Börje Ekholm to discuss matters related to the implementation of 5G networks in Malaysia. So, what should you know about it?

Swedish multinational networking and telecommunications company Ericsson has announced that Malaysia would become one of its 11 main manufacturing sites globally. Furthermore, our country will be its first Southeast Asian hub to produce cutting-edge 5G products to support global and local 5G rollouts.

Ericsson and Intel are set to collaborate on the development of 5G use cases that can accelerate digitisation in Malaysia. In a Memorandum of Undertaking (MoU) signed recently, both companies are seeking to spur 5G’s adoption by local enterprises.

Digital Nasional Bhd (DNB) has been working hard on deploying the 5G network in Malaysia. Today, it's announced that we will be the first country to use Ericsson's AIR 3268 ultra-lightweight radio for the 5G rollout. If you don't know what's good about the technology, read on to find out more!

Soon, we may be able to get 5G connectivity even in the world’s most remote locations thanks to a joint effort by Swedish telecoms equipment maker Ericsson, US chip company Qualcomm and French aerospace company Thales. Allowing users to wirelessly access super fast internet and low latency wirelessly where ever there are in the world, this new technology seeks to utilise low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellites.

As the Malaysian government slowly rolls out 5G services across the nation, Ericsson just announced that there is a newly established Network Operations Centre (NOC). This is in line with assisting Digital Nasional Berhad's (DNB) single wholesale 5G network and Ericsson will monitor, maintain and manage it.

Now that we've entered 2022, one of the most anticipated things for urban Malaysians is the proliferation of 5G networks. In the last few months, Digital Nasional Berhad (DNB) has been working hard on this. And now Ericsson is doing its part in a new partnership.

Today, Digital National Berhad (DNB) has announced that it has chosen to partner with Ericsson to develop 5G mobile network in Malaysia. It is said that Ericsson was chosen due to its lower cost at RM11 billion, compared to others which offer their works at around RM15 billion in the industry.

Today, Celcom Axiata Berhad has signed a new agreement on joining IC5G at Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM). IC5G is an initiative by UTM and Ericsson back in 2015, where its research and development on 5G technology is conducted for the benefit of students and industry professionals.

Today, Celcom Axiata Berhad and Ericsson have showcased their first ever 5G network trial in Malaysia, as well as the first 5G trial conducted on the 28GHz band in South East Asia. This was witnessed by Yang Berhormat Dato' Jailani Johari, Deputy Minister of Communications and Multimedia today, at Celcom's headquarters.
