The Malaysian government will wait on the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission's report, before allowing Huawei to build their 5G infrastructure in Malaysia. Based on TheStar.com.my, the delay is due to various security concerns involving Huawei globally, including allegations of cyberspying, international scandals and so on. Communications and Multimedia Minister Gobind Singh Deo wants to play it safe, to ensure that the system is secure before rolling out.

Today, Huawei is proud to announce two new products that will usher in the new age of Internet connectivity. The first one is the 5G multi-mode chipset Balong 5000 and the other, the Huawei 5G CPE Pro as the first commercial 5G device. With this in hand, wireless connections between our smartphones, home appliances, office, vehicles and others at one-go will be made possible in the future.

Vivo is super excited about its 5G technology. Previously, we mentioned that the company has already completed the research and development on 5G smartphones and it's no doubt that 5G will be one of the most demanded features on future smartphones in the industry. That said, vivo managed to demonstrate their 5G-enabled smartphones at the International Symposium on ICT Technology in Beijing, China.

During their recent global analyst summit in Shenzhen, Huawei showed a slide teasing their first Huawei 5G mobile hotspot set for Q2 of 2019. They also revealed what could be their first 5G smartphone, which is presumed to be the Huawei Mate 30 in the second half of 2019 which also indicates when Malaysia and other countries could start seeing the full implementation of 5G networks.

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.
