KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 31 — Amid the Malaysian government’s review of the country’s 5G deployment through a single wholesale network, a report by UOB-Kay Hian has indicated that Digital Nasional Berhad could be introducing a second network equipment provider to deploy 5G.
UOB-Kay Hian said in their opinion, the introduction of a second 5G vendor may lead to reduced costs, assuming Huawei is able to give a significant discount, and expedited 5G rollout. They also believe that DNB is likely to remain the single wholesale network as they have achieved 47 per cent population coverage by end of 2022.
When former Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim questioned the RM11 billion contract for Ericsson, DNB responded that the appointment was done after a rigorous and competitive process. Countering Anwar’s claim that Huawei could do the job for half the price, DNB said Ericsson’s bid was around RM700 million lower than the total cost of ownership of the next closest bid.
