Why 5G has to be a public infrastructure — to ensure rapid rollout
We can all agree that digital transformation is key to Malaysia catching up with its regional peers, in terms of improving productivity, creating jobs and opportunities, and raising the standard of living of the people, as well as profits and wealth. By most yardsticks, we have taken a decisive and successful first step — in laying out the digital foundation, upon which the digital ecosystem can now grow. A key part of this digital foundation is the 5G single wholesale network (SWN) undertaken by Digital Nasional Bhd (DNB).
The high-speed and ultra-low latency achievable by 5G networks will be the key driving force for innovation and productivity enhancements across almost every industry for the foreseeable future. Clearly, it is crucial for every country, in order to remain globally competitive.
