Today, our local telcos - Celcom, Digi and Maxis - have signed a new Memorandum of Understanding (MoU).

This will enable improved 4G connectivity nationwide, in line with the government’s NFCP target.

The telco companies in Malaysia have been hard at work testing 5G technology, which is expected to take 2020 by storm.

During the trial, results showed peak speeds of more than 1.1Gbps.
