JENDELA has mostly fulfilled its Phase 1 targets with over 2.78 million new premises passed by fibre, 37,977 base stations upgraded and 1,778 new 4G towers erected in the past 27 months.

by former Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin, the JENDELA initiative is aimed at upgrading Malaysia’s digital infrastructure which included 4G and fibre coverage.

As a baseline for comparison, Malaysia had 4.96 million premises passed by fibre and 4G coverage stood at 91.8% of populated areas in September 2020. At the time, Malaysia’s average mobile broadband speed was at 25Mbps. When it come to fiberisation, TM contributed the most, followed by Time, Maxis, Allo, Celcom Timur and YTL. Most of them have exceeded their fiberisation targets except for Maxis which reported a shortfall due to delay of permit approvals by local authorities. Celcom Timur also has a slight gap in its deliverables due to issues related to building readiness.

According to JENDELA’s report, only the big four telcos have contributed to new 4G tower constructions. Both Maxis and U Mobile have pretty much completed most of the new planned 4G tower deployments, while Digi and Celcom still have some outstanding sites due to local authority approval under USP projects. The remaining new 4G towers are expected to be completed by the end of 2023.
