Kuala Lumpur: Jalinan Digital Negara (Jendela) which was formulated to provide wider coverage and better quality of broadband experience whilst preparing the country for 5G technology appears to be on track in its aspiration and target.
Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) chairman Dr Fadhlullah Suhaimi Abdul Malek hinted that tender for the 5G infrastructure development estimated to be worth RM15 billion would be announced soon.
“I believe it would be open soon but it’s not for MCMC to say; the Digital Nasional Bhd (DNB) will issue a statement accordingly,” he said at the RHB Investors Conference. DNB which is the special purpose vehicle (SPV) that will undertake deployment of the 5G infrastructure and network nationwide is responsible for the tender selection, he said.
