In Digi Telecommunications Sdn Bhd (Digi)'s latest chapter of installing 4G LTE tower today, they are now in Bau and Limbang, Sarawak completing their #DigiWeWant4G Twitter campaign quest by the nominations from their customers.

In Digi Telecommunications Sdn Bdh (Digi)'s quest of installing 4G LTE coverage, Papar and Tenom in Sabah have been added to the list of towns voted by Malaysias via Digi's Twitter campaign #DigiWeWant4G. The campaign allows customers to tweet #DigiWeWant4G and the desired location, resulting the top ten most voted areas in addition to its original network rollout plan. 

Two months ago, Digi Telecommunications Sdn Bhd (“Digi”) planted their first Digi tower in Setia Alam as promised from their #DigiWeWant4G Twitter campaign. They are still on the roll by announcing Lunas, Batu Gajah, Jejawi and Arau as their next location to install the 4G LTE network as voted by Malaysians.

Digi’s Head of Northern Region, Siew Chee Kong said, “Following up from our 4G LTE rollout in Setia Alam in the Klang Valley, we are now happy to announce that we’ve completed the rollout in the four towns up north where Malaysians have tweeted their desire for Digi’s 4G LTE coverage in their areas. As of this week, we have deployed and switched on our 4G LTE infrastructure to serve customers in Lunas, Batu Gajah, Jejawi and Arau. In total for the northern region, we now have 64% population coverage of our high speed 4G LTE network serving customers in 34 cities, districts and towns.” 

Just about a month ago, Digi Telecommunications Sdn Bhd has launched a “You Tweet, We Build” campaign. An innovative #DigiWeWant4G Twitter interaction with the customers, Setia Alam became the first people's network tower as voted by Malaysians.

The #DigiWeWant4G Twitter campaign is an effort to reach out to Malaysians, giving the power to them by simply nominating their towns to be the next in line to get 4G LTE. All they had to do was tweet the hashtag #DigiWeWant4G followed by the location's name. So as a result, Digi went ahead to plant its 4G LTE network in Setia Alam.

Digi recently gave their Quarterly Network Update presentation on their upcoming plans in the future. One of the key points they pointed out was an improved expansion of their 4G LTE network coverage, as it has increased to 60% of the population coverage. This is the result of their engineers, busy expanding Digi's 4G LTE network for the past few months in 80 major cities and towns (key market centres 95% population coverage). They have also switched its 4G LTE-Advanced (4G LTE-A) network nationwide with a 22% coverage footprint (50% population coverage in key market centres).
