During the presentation of the 13th Malaysia Plan today, the Prime Minister also briefly touched on the implementation of the 5G network in Malaysia. Moving forward, it is targeted that the 5G network coverage rate will reach 98% by 2030.
This coverage rate will cover populated areas, as well as industrial areas. The last time Digital Nasional Berhad shared, the coverage rate has exceeded 80% of populated areas. In addition to Digital Nasional Berhad, now a second provider has also been announced, namely U Mobile, which targets to reach a coverage rate of 80% around 2026.
With a focus on artificial intelligence, the provision of infrastructure is also very important, making attention also given to the development of 5G networks that will not only be used by consumers, but also by industries.
