News & Reviews:   mobile network

It has been a while since we got a report from Opensignal about Malaysia's Mobile Network Experience performance. According to the latest Opensignal Global Network Excellence Index, Malaysia’s mobile network experience slipped two spots, from 36th to 38th globally. Despite the drop, Malaysia still ranks in the top 10 across the Asia?Pacific region.

Have you ever been somewhere in town where you don't have good mobile connectivity? Knowing where you can get good data coverage from your telco can be crucial, especially for people who want to move house or rent a co-working space. But how do you know if you're covered? Here are some general points to keep in mind.

After multiple telcos have announced their plans for the 5G rollout in the country, Maxis has also come forward to promise that it's bringing the latest generation mobile network to its users. The company has issued a public release about utilising Digital Nasional Berhad's (DNB) network for its 5G services.

Recently, our Minister of Communications and Multimedia (KKMM) Tan Sri Annuar Musa just did a media interview regarding improving our mobile network. He is urging local telcos to reinvest and upgrade their coverage and telecommunications services to improve their quality.

But like anything important in life, you should learn all about what the other options can offer before switching mobile networks. Today, I'll be taking a look at one of the biggest mobile service providers in Malaysia - Digi - and why it could be an excellent choice for a fast and reliable mobile network.

Last month, Maxis announced that it's helping Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd (MAHB) implement a 5G network in KLIA. Local telco companies are working hard on developing 5G in Malaysia, which means that 4G coverage and speed has to keep up to be a reliable backup. It also means that they're starting to consider shutting down older networks.

Today, Opensignal is back once again with another report and this time it's the Global Mobile Network Experience Awards 2021. It wasn't too long ago that they presented us with their 10th Anniversary Global Awards 2020 last year, so if you're wondering what's new in the latest one - here's what you need to know.
