malaysiangThe status of 5G implementation in China, which currently covers more than 90 per cent of populated areas, attracts Malaysia’s interest to learn about its success in improving connectivity, especially in rural areas.
Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil said this is especially so with the country implementing a dual network model of 5G high-speed Internet to provide quality and inclusive telecommunications services to the people. That was among matters discussed by Fahmi during a bilateral meeting with China’s Minister of Industry and Information Technology Jin Zhuanglong here which lasted almost 30 minutes yesterday.
“During the meeting, we had the opportunity to discuss various topics, including the implementation status of the 5G network in China and Malaysia, the challenges encountered and key improvements or insights we can learn from each other.
“One of the main challenges we face in Malaysia, particularly in the remote, rural, island, and hilly areas where fiber installation as a backhaul solution
poses significant difficulties,’ he told Bernama after the meeting.
