News & Reviews:   Celcom 5G

Like the rest of the telcos, Celcom also announced that it has subscribed to Digital Nasional Berhad (DNB)'s 5G single wholesale network. Starting from 1 November 2022, Celcom customers, including Celcom Business customers, who have 5G-enabled devices and are subscribed to selected Celcom postpaid and prepaid plans, will automatically be able to access 5G network services within 5G coverage areas. 

We are almost at the end of the third quarter of the year and there's still barely any 5G connectivity in Malaysia. However, it looks like Celcom is preparing well for the next phase. Recently, the company just released its 1H2022 performance and here's what it says about 5G preparation. 

Celcom Axiata Bhd today announced that Tan Sri Dr Halim Shafie has been appointed as its new interim chairman. Dr Halim’s appointment is effective since 2 June 2022.

Celcom Axiata Berhad have announced their Lightning Fast LTE network utilizing 4-transmit-4-receiver (4T4R) technology for 4x4 multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) mobile devices in Malaysia. The Lightning Fast LTE is the first in Malaysia to improve the current 4G mobile services with up to 300Mbps speeds to LTE Advanced Pro and eventually 5G networks, so you can go beyond 400Mbpps (up to 480Mbps). This will begin from August 2017, starting from the Klang Valley.
