Brothers & sisters, a very good Wednesday morning to all....... Just to continue from where I left off at.....


http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1348455



Yes, it's here.......very very soon indeed. Yes, brothers & sisters, I am talking about YTL 4G WIMAX.



Just received some latest news personally from CEO’s Office , YTL Corporate Communications.



Our network engineering team members are currently very engrossed building the network to reach 65% of populated areas nationwide. Our device team are collaborating with a globally-known device manufacturer on a number of 4G mobile devices for more options to customers based on their needs and budget while our product team members are innovating the latest applications to run on the network. The Marketing team, meanwhile, is working on exciting, affordable service packages and the customer service team is building an interactive-based, world-class customer care infrastructure and all to be ready by our service commercial launch in Q4 this year for a wholly-new customer experience which will improve the way Malaysian learn, work, and play.

As an integral part of our 4G ecosystem, we are working with best-in-class partners such as Clearwire, Cisco, GCT, Samsung, and soon with the other world-class IT players to bring the best 4G device and customer experience to all Malaysians. In fact, today we signed a collaboration agreement with the world market leader in computer chipset which will include its extensive interoperability tests on our 4G network to profile their services as compatible with the wireless chipset. With this partnership, the power of our 4G network opens up to a whole new range of consumer devices, such as WiMAX-embedded netbooks and laptops.

We are actually in the ‘soft launch’ mode already with the robust 4 network is actually up and running with internal friendly user trials (FUT) is currently on-going to fine-tune the network and to test the mobile devices. A few demonstrations have been made to the highest authorities and selected high stake-holders to a resounding success. As soon as we reach the desired footprints, we shall switch on the network and offer it to the consumers to experience the full mobility of high-speed Internet Connectivity.

On the consumer front, we recently signed with UTM (IPTA) and UTAR (IPTS) to offer campus-wide 4G network and free 300 MB per month for all students. By end-2010, we shall sign up with all public and selected main private universities to offer 4G experience to 400,000 students nationwide and help to achieve the country’s National Broadband Initiative (NBI) to reach the 50% penetration rate by year-end and become a ‘broadband nation’ as envisioned by our Prime Minister.




Thank you again for your keen interest and your patience. Will update you more as will soon as YTL WIMAX unveil it's brand name and flagship store.

We have to delay the announcement by a few more days due to unforeseen circumstances.

Not much can be revealed now due to marketing strategy.....just wait for the announcements in your local papers to get an insight of it's offering......the waiting is definately worthwhile as the CEO office had just said.

I am sure they won't disappoint you after they had seen what's happening to all the complaining of our Malaysian ISPs.


Personally I don't don't the full details as everything is so secretive until the announcements.


Cheers brother.

Hopefully YTL WIMAX wont' disappoint you brother....remember they are giving FREE 300MB to the University students....so maybe they are doing something good for all Malaysians as a social service as well......

.......afterall YTL GROUP had make tons of money already.



Cheers.

Price wise, I am sure you don't have to worry much...please wait for the full details announcements in the local papers in a few days time to get a clearer picture. I personally don't know much about the pricing too.

I can't believe you said such things.

Like they say all rich tycoons make donations hoping to cleanse them of their sins and earn a good name for themselves.

A humble person donates anonymously FYI.

YTL is buying wholesale bandwidth from TM and from history we knew what happened to AMAX which went the same route down the road.
Here's a refresher for those who have forgotten:

We also know that without utilizing a wired solution such as TM's MetroEthernet fiber for your backhaul, you can materialize real high speed internet in excess of 10mbps.

LTE won't materialize until our country has an extensive FTTH network for sure.

It's impossible for current base stations to provide everyone with speeds in excess of 100mbps that LTE is giving. Just like the Maxis trials which took place.

LTE will only be made possible when people have FTTH connections at home and they install micro base stations at home just like your wireless router which are called FEMTOCELLs.

So everyone FORGET about LTE.
It's a dream until you get your FTTH installed at home!

This is how a femtocell looks like:

It doesn't make sense right? How can LTE provide speeds of close to 100mbps to your cellphone when you don't have a larger pipe feeding the femtocell? The only possibility is through a FTTH connection. That's when quadruple play comes into play.

Brother iipohbee, a very good Monday morning to you......brother, here I am trying to inform all Malaysian members here of the soon to be launch YTL Wimax & nothing else......not to make extra cash or whatsoever. I am just another poor Malaysian Rayaat who had had suffer long enough through more than 5 years of TM Streamyx bad service and connections, etc, etc. Being extremely disappointed with TM Streamyx, I do hope that some new ISP will come a deliver something better. Then came P1 & I too waited for a long time for it to come to my hometown. Later when it's available, I tried it but P1 performs miserably.....so, I again hope for another ISP to come along and deliver again.

Then I heard of new developments from YTL Communications & I, as a disappointed broadband user just like you perhaps, hope for something good from them. I keep in touch with CEO’s Office , YTL Corporate Communications & had been getting update personally from them. Now that they inform me of the good news, I try to bring some cheers to ALL DISAPPOINTED MALAYSIA BROADBAND USERS........maybe it's good or maybe not I don't know but at least we can have another ALTERNATIVE TO TRY OUT.


Brother iipohbee, what I said here is all mostly from YTL Communications. Remember I say this ......so maybe they are doing something good for all Malaysians as a social service as well.............yes, brother iipohbee, you seem not too happy when I say this & you seem to keep repeating again & again, as quote above your reply, I quote I can't believe you said such things. Like they say all rich tycoons make donations hoping to cleanse them of their sins and earn a good name for themselves.

A humble person donates anonymously FYI.
.......yes, brother iipohbee, I use the words "maybe they are doing something good for all Malaysians", Yes, using the word MY OWN WORD "MAYBE'... I know most people do some charity work for this world but you seem not too happy by repeating again & again these words "all rich tycoons make donations hoping to cleanse them of their sins and earn a good name for themselves."

Yes, we all in our life time on this world, will always try to do something good for others whenever possible, Yes, rich tycoons, I do envy them with their money and the luxury life there are living but them some of them are really doing something good for this world. Yes, brother iipohbee, there are lots of rich Malaysian tycoons doing good for all Malaysians but please do not say that "all rich tycoons make donations hoping to cleanse them of their sins and earn a good name for themselves." Yes, brother iipohbee, there are rich and poor people in this world, some maybe be born lucky rich & some maybe not just like you & most of us...so let it be and just don't condemn all rich people just because most of us cannot live a luxurious life like theirs. Remember, GOD IS ALL MIGHTY & I am sure HE will rewards us in so many other ways. So, let us live a life as we are created & you will find a happier & richer you.....yes, richer in other ways other than money.


Brother iipohbee, peace be with you & lets us all pray that YTL Communications will DELIVER.......let us all wait a few days more for their announcements in our local papers. It may turn out to be good or maybe not, I don't know myself. May I quote again from the CEO’s Office , YTL Corporate Communications.......I promise you that it will be a worthwhile waiting. You know that YTL is a great builder and we’re building something great here for all Malaysians.



Cheers brother iipohbee, peace be with you. Be happy always & take care too wherever you may be.

Brother vapeace, I do hope for this too...reasonable pricing & no monthly cap. I presume the marketing people at YTL Communications must have heard us loud and clear.

Cheers brother Qash-M

I believe so too brother p4n6...yes, marketing & more business opportunities. Yes, nothing comes free with this world.


Cheers brother p4n6 ......peace be with you.

Hi brother iipohbee, don't know much about the full details of their speed but it will be worthwhile to wait a little longer for the full nationwide launch. I guess YTL Communication can't reveal much now because of marketing strategy.....so please be patient and I am sure YTL Communications will not disappoint us Malaysians.


Cheers brother strategy...you take good care too.

Brother Icehart, my humble apologise to you as most of the finer details are in kept in secrecy because of their marketing plans but, as far as I know, it will be launch in mid-November......so stay tune & let's hope for a better & faster 4G WIMAX [price wise too] from YTL Communications.


Thank you brother Icehart for your keen interest.



Cheers brother Icehart...you stay happy always.....take care too brother.

Brother iipohbee, I am sure some of the marketing department executives are reading this topic too & I amm sure they will take note of it too. Surely YTL Communications will definately NOT offer a lousy service & then go into oblivion......mind you they are investing billions in this new service.



Cheers brother iipohbee.......peace be with you & may GOD guide you in each step you take.

Malaysia To Launch World's 1st Wireless Hybrid TV Service

Kuala Lumpur, 11th October 2010 – YTL Communications Sdn Bhd today signed a Licence and Services Agreement with next-generation TV innovator, Sezmi Corporation. The agreement gives YTL Communications the rights to deploy hybrid TV service in Malaysia and throughout Asia Pacific thus transforming Malaysia into a leading operational hub for digital media and television broadcasting, capable of serving the region. Through this, Malaysia will effectively become first in the world to launch an all wireless hybrid TV service by the end of 2011.


Hybrid TV brings together the best of broadcast content and Internet in the same device over a wireless network to deliver a superior customer experience and Sezmi is leading in this area. The Sezmi system is currently commercially available in the United States, one of the world’s most demanding markets for such technologies and services. It is in this very market that Sezmi has proven itself as a front running innovator in redefining the television viewing experience.

"YTL is passionate about bringing concrete benefits and positive change to Malaysians from all walks of life. We commend our Prime Minister’s vision to develop Malaysia into a high income country," said Tan Sri (Dr) Francis Yeoh, Managing Director, YTL Corporation Berhad & Executive Chairman of YTL Communications. "Acting on this call made by the government, we bring Silicon Valley to Malaysia today with this next-generation wireless hybrid TV service. We believe Sezmi is the best partner to make this possible. With Sezmi Corporation, we will give Asia a next-generation entertainment experience by bringing together the best television and Internet experience all in one box. Malaysia is screaming for more choices and with Sezmi, we will deliver. This will inspire Malaysians to adopt the Internet at a faster rate in line with the government's National Broadband Initiative."

Through this partnership, YTL Communications plans to transform Malaysia into the world's first, fully converged wireless quadruple-play country, effectively positioning the nation as the world’s most advanced wireless country. The service that YTL will bring together with Sezmi will require new devices, equipment, content and applications which will be developed and manufactured in Malaysia, at the same time driving FDI from world-class partners while creating export opportunities of know-how and manufactured goods to service providers throughout the region. Indirect output will also see the creation of a large pool of jobs for creative, professional and technical services, all of which are imperatives in achieving an innovation-led, high-income economy.

"When we launch our 4G mobile Internet service next month, it will be amazing. We will deliver to Malaysia a wireless dual-play service – broadband and voice on our 4G network. But this is only the beginning. Thanks to our cutting edge architecture, we will be able to deliver the world's first wireless quadruple-play service (mobile broadband, mobile voice, mobile TV and fixed TV) by the end of next year. But our desire for innovation will not stop there, we will continue to deliver amazing experiences to our customers using our 4G platform and bring positive change to Malaysia." said Wing K. Lee, CEO, YTL Communications.

"We're truly excited to be a part of this project. I commend the Malaysian government and YTL Communications for their foresight in initiating a project that is as impressive as this. It is indisputable that convergence between broadcast and Internet is fast becoming a dominant trend," said Buno Pati, CEO, Sezmi Corporation. "In developing countries, televisions are significantly more prevalent than computers. Hence, the best way to deliver broadband to every person is through a TV screen connected to a wireless network that can bring together high quality HD content and Internet all in one. We see this partnership as an amazing opportunity to realise this vision. YTL Communications' solid financial foundation, expertise and passion make them the perfect partner to realize this vision.”


JUST ANOTHER 3 WEEKS OR SO & WE CAN ALL TRY THE NEW YTL WIRELESS BROADBAND ......SO, STAY PUT PLEASE.


STREAMYX HAD TRIPLE PLAY BROADBAND WHILE YTL WIMAX WILL HAVE QUADRUPLE PLAY BROADBAND.






CHEERS TO ALL.
