News & Reviews:   satellite technology

In Malaysia, everyone knows that our internet data coverage is inconsistent, particularly inside buildings or underground. To solve the issue, the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) is exploring new technologies to improve internet coverage.

The Ministry of Communications and Multimedia (K-KOMM) has announced that 839 locations nationwide have now gotten internet access using satellite technology. Its minister, Tan Sri Annuar Musa said that the locations have now been installed with broadband wireless access (BWA) which utilises satellite technology, including rural areas in Sabah and Sarawak as well as Orang Asli villages.
