CelcomDigi renewed its strategic partnerships with Edotco Group Sdn Bhd, Edgepoint Infrastructure Sdn Bhd, D’Harmoni Telco Infra Sdn Bhd and PDC Telecommunication Services Sdn Bhd reshaping key terms to future-proof its infrastructure as part of its ongoing nationwide network integration and modernisation exercise.
Through collaborations with the country’s four tower companies (towercos), the company is rolling out its network coverage seamlessly and at speed across urban landmarks like the Tun Razak Exchange and Merdeka 118 to remote locations in Sabah and Sarawak. As Malaysia’s demand for data continues to grow exponentially, CelcomDigi is also exploring new avenues of innovation with its partners, such as next-generation digital connectivity solutions such as street furniture and in-building solutions. This collaborative approach builds a win-win framework to create a widespread network with the capabilities to support Malaysia’s ambition of becoming a leading digital economy.
Chief Executive Officer Datuk Idham Nawawi said “Efforts to strengthen long-term partnerships with tower companies are key to developing a robust network infrastructure. With trusted partners who possess proven capabilities and extensive reach, we are ensuring the rapid rollout of sites to complete the largest network integration and modernisation exercise in the country, delivering excellent service to customers across more areas nationwide. Adding to this, we have worked on a new collaborative framework that marks an innovative and value-accretive way forward for us respectively as partners, to build networks that support the exponential data demand and the deployment of new technologies to benefit all Malaysians. This is essential to accelerate the nation’s digital transformation while fostering a sustainable ecosystem for both telcos and towercos.”
CelcomDigi’s partnerships with the towercos have been pivotal in driving its network integration and modernisation exercise. This nationwide exercise is now close to 70% complete, with over 10,500 sites modernised at the end of October 2024, and more than 65% of customers benefitting from improved quality of experience on the new CelcomDigi intelligent network. The company aims to complete 75% of network upgrades by the end of 2024, ahead of its target.
