Worst 5G network coverage ever, The 5G antenna setup a block away from my house. Just can get 1-2 bar.

Loves when I travel to Hatyai, their border 5G full bars (I used Hotlink postpaid roaming) very strong.

MNO selection for second 5G network to be done by year-end - Gobind
BERNAMA

KUALA LUMPUR: The process of selecting the mobile network operator (MNO) for the transition to the 5G dual wholesale network (DWN) model is expected to be completed by the end of this year, said Digital Minister Gobind Singh Deo.

He said all the conditions of the share subscription agreement (SSA) have been fulfilled by all the MNOs, and the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) is looking forward to starting the selection process, which is the second stage towards the decision on who will develop the next 5G network.

“They (MCMC) were not been given a time frame for the process but I hope it could start moving before the end of this year,” he told reporters at the launch of TNG Digital Sdn Bhd’s gold investment product, e-Mas, today.

celcom digi maxis TM are friendly long time ago
celcom axiata itself is TM demerger. ex ceo chairman from tm
During 3G era celcom digi maxis TM start sharing each others tower
tower fiber backhaul by TM. Not to be confused with TM fiber HSSB
then celcom digi maxis sharing fiber backhaul

the first peninsular MOCN tower is bukit selambau. this news become viral
Then JENDELA MOCN tower. mostly celcom-digi-maxis. Umobile for whatever reason not joint MOCN club

sarawak MOCN is another story
“Ada tower, tak ada kuali” problem in rural, remote areas in Sarawak
Built tower but no telco using the tower. Kuali refer to satelite or microwave backhaul

RM116 mln to power 600 Sarawak telco towers with world’s first 6-way network technology
six-way MOCN technology, facilitating connectivity services from CelcomDigi, Maxis, U Mobile, YTL, and Sarawak Rural Broadband Network (MySRBN), is touted as the world’s first implementation of its kind.

a separate memorandum of understanding (MoU) for Domestic Roaming (DR) for SMART600 was inked between Maxis and TM Technology Services Sdn Bhd, aiming to provide TM customers with cellular services at all SMART600 sites,

Based on this response, Umobile seems to have the best balance between coverage and affordability, so what is Malaysian problem in not switching?

What is the point of having the biggest coverage when it is useless when we needed them the most?

Also, isn't it ironic that MNOs can subscribe to CelcomDigi 2G network as MOCN yet there is no problem? I thought CelcomDigi monopolize the 2G must be bad in theory right yet it seems a couple decades later, the MNOs seems fine?

What makes CelcomDigi 2G MOCN difference from DNB 5G MOCN?

I mean, during earlier 2G and 4G implementation, I'm sure the indoor coverage is bad as well but that is because it still new, decades later, 5G will follow suit as well like how 3G and 4G have deep coverage indoor inside currently.

502158 is 2G domestic roaming
celcomdigi maxis have their own 2G but always roaming to this network

Umobile 4G have limited base station compare with celcomdigi-maxis
have u using umobile ?

yes using bistarinet school tower. no one dare to touch this company

MCMC to ensure 5G second network price remains - Gobind
BERNAMA


KUALA LUMPUR: The government, via the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC), will ensure that the price of 5G under the second network remains at the existing rate, said Digital Minister Gobind Singh Deo.

He said the price aspect was taken into account during the evaluation process.

“MCMC is concerned about this issue and has taken steps to ensure that the price remains when the second network is established. The process is still ongoing,“ he told the media after signing a cooperation agreement between Digital Nasional Bhd (DNB) and CyberSecurity Malaysia (CSM) to improve the country’s 5G network security here today.

The cooperation involves the development of 5G security guidelines that will be used as the basic guiding principles for the industry and future 5G security foundations.

“The 5G network is one of Malaysia’s critical national information sectors, impacting national defence, economic stability, governmental functions and social routines.

“Increasingly, digital advancements come with significant challenges, particularly in the realm of cybersecurity. Therefore, it must be looked at as a shared responsibility,“ the minister said in his speech.

At the same time, DNB and CSM will also establish a national 5G cyber security test centre to serve as a platform for industry players to identify vulnerabilities, ensure compliance with standards and track security measures.

Gobind also welcomed related industry players to establish cooperation to strengthen the country’s cyber security landscape.

Following the recent global information technology (IT) outage, he said the companies involved, be it Microsoft or CrowdStrike, need to guarantee that an audit will be conducted to ensure affected systems are safe.

“They need to ensure that such disruptions do not recur. If there are weaknesses, they have to be dealt with immediately.

“I have already informed the parties and we are in the process of getting a report. A media conference will be held thereafter,“ he said.

Gobind said he will shed further light on the issue and the measures needed to ensure that such disruptions do not recur.

5G Second Network: CelcomDigi considering several options at hand, no impact to current 5G customers

We note the Government’s announcement on the selection of the mobile network operator that will implement Malaysia’s second 5G network.

We believe we have presented a compelling technical and commercial proposal to build the second 5G network, leveraging on our financial standing and track record of investing in and deploying large-scale mobile networks, and delivering affordable, high-quality services to the rakyat.

This included the ability to commence nationwide rollout almost immediately after spectrum award, to build a 5G network that will match the population coverage of our 4G and 4G+ network within the shortest time possible.

Our priority remains to ensure that our customers have affordable access to a competitive, robust, and efficient 5G network. We will discuss with various stakeholders to consider several viable options ahead of us, to the benefit of our customers and shareholders.

In the meantime, we continue to focus on merger integration to realise savings and synergy targets and continue delivering the best possible experience to our customers. Our network integration is now 68% complete and 65% of our customers benefit from improved experience on the new CelcomDigi intelligent network, ahead of schedule.

The announcement will have no impact on CelcomDigi’s 5G customers, and all consumer and enterprise customers with 5G devices will be able to continue accessing and enjoying 5G services as usual - all day, every day. We will continue delivering the best choice and value in connectivity services and the best customer experience for Malaysian consumers and enterprises through our network, products and services and digital platforms.

CelcomDigi remains committed to the sustainability of the industry and to drive the nation’s transformation into a 5G-AI powered digital society.

Why CelcomDigi prefers to lead second 5G network
22 Oct 2024,

Idham says CelcomDigi does not only have a Plan B but also a Plan C and Plan D, should it lose the bid for the second 5G network.

He notes that not having control of the 5G spectrum and network slows down the delivery of “mission-critical” enterprise services to its customers.

Would CelcomDigi integrate DNB’s network infrastructure with its network if it fails to win the bid for the second 5G network?

“There are many options for us. It depends on the situation. We can do that. We can decide to be an access seeker, that is, continue. We can have access from the second network,” Idham says.

Does that mean CelcomDigi will also choose to exit DNB even if it does not win the bid for the second 5G network?

“Hopefully, it doesn’t come to that … There’ll be equalisation; whoever takes Entity B will start on a level playing field. So, if we go into Entity B, for example, we make sure that we are at the level. We are committed.”

Someone surely need to lead & take over DNB.... Either one CD or Maxis...

why not both ?
celcom - digi - maxis are friends
sharing tower mostly rural area
urban area some maxis good, some cd good
sharing network MOCN tower
sharing fiber backhaul

so DNB1 : celcomdigi-maxis-ytl team

Gobind: No issues concerning DNB’s governance, finance and administration since Digital Ministry took over


Digital Minister Gobind Singh Deo said the results of a due diligence exercise carried out on Digital Nasional Berhad (DNB) showed there were no issues concerning its governance, finances, and administration.

While wrapping up the debate on the 2025 budget for his ministry in the Dewan Rakyat this evening, Gobind said the due diligence exercise carried out this year was necessary and that it showed that everything in DNB was in order.

"The issue of RM16.5 billion said to be funds channelled and used by DNB was brought up (in the Dewan Rakyat) yesterday," said Gobind.

"Let me state clearly here that since my ministry took over DNB, we have called relevant parties involved in DNB to provide a full explanation regarding problems and issues that had been raised."

"I would like to clearly state that if there exist, or it is brought to my attention that there are matters that need to be looked into... extraordinary matters ... I will take action," he said.

In the Dewan Rakyat on Tuesday, Hassan Karim (PH-Pasir Gudang) questioned the Communications Ministry about the allocations for the first and second 5G networks and asked if it was true that the former Perikatan Nasional government had allocated RM16.5 billion of public funds for DNB’s first 5G rollout. Hassan had also asked how much of this sum had already been spent.

In response, Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil said the matter was under the purview of the Digital Ministry.

In the Dewan Rakyat today, Gobind said that the RM16.5 billion was for a 10-year period.

"To date, I would like to state that the RM16.5 billion for 10 years does not involve government funds except for an equity injection of RM500 million in 2021 and a shareholder loan amounting to RM450 million from the Ministry of Finance (Incorporated) in May 2023.

"MOF Inc is a shareholder. These are the only funds that came from the parties I had mentioned," Gobind said.

Gobind : 5G Advanced to drive AI-powered industry growth

Digital Minister Gobind Singh Deo said 5G Advanced with AI allows businesses and industries to run operations more efficiently by assessing their 5G requirements in real-time, enabling faster automation and smarter connectivity.

“In the past, building a 5G system for an industry required feedback from experts. But with this new technology, AI can now determine the best structure for an industry.

“This allows the necessary systems to be built much faster,” he said in a press conference after the launch.

He added that this advancement is expected to accelerate automation, enhance efficiency and provide real-time AI-driven solutions across various industries, including transport, healthcare, agriculture and small businesses.

“As industries evolve, AI will continuously assess and suggest improvements.

“This technology significantly streamlines the process, making it easier to integrate 5G and AI across various industries,” he said.

Gobind also mentioned that the National AI Office is now operational, focusing on five key sectors in its first quarter: Transport, healthcare, agri-tech, small and medium enterprises, micro, small and medium enterprises and government digital services.
