KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 3 — Telekom Malaysia Berhad has signed up for pilot trials for access to Malaysia’s fifth-generation network wireless service, after its competitors pushed back against the rollout by state-controlled Digital Nasional Berhad , Singapore’sThe report cited unnamed market sources, including personnel from the DNB; tasked with building the 5G infrastructure, as confirming that TM had agreed this week, to join the trials.
ST reported that TM’s move will pressure four larger mobile competitors — with 40 million accounts between them, who prefer to have their own 5G network. In a statement, DNB described as inaccurate a Reuters news report on the matter, alleging that no major telco has subscribed to access Malaysia’s 5G network operated by the state-owned firm.
The Ministry of Finance’s decision to deploy 5G via a single wholesale network system had been criticised, with detractors likening the move to a monopoly. Critics, including Opposition lawmakers, claimed some of the risks linked to the SWN approach is poorer service quality and higher 5G service prices for end-users.Under the SWN approach, the government-owned DNB will deploy Malaysia’s 5G network with equal access to MNOs.
The 5G network will be rolled out in phases nationwide, with Malaysia targeting an 80 per cent coverage in 2024.
