These capabilities will facilitate the digital advancement of core industries such as high-end manufacturing, automotive and smart transportation, as well as enable cutting-edge visual communications through 3D and extended reality (XR). Additionally, 5G will support the development of advanced affordable IoT solutions.
- The Malaysian government had said that Malaysia would move to a dual 5G network once state-run 5G network Digital Nasional Berhad (DNB) achieved 80% coverage in populated areas, a target that was achieved by last year .
- Telecom companies in Malaysia are currently offering 5G using DNB's network infrastructure.
