KUALA LUMPUR – Maxis Bhd is currently in talks with the regulators and the Communications and Multimedia Ministry to determine the roll-out of its 5G network to consumers.

Chief executive officer Gokhan Ogut said the telecommunications group is currently working with regulators and the Communications and Multimedia Ministry on the matter.

“We are looking forward to 5G (and) we have been working with regulators and the ministry.

“However, I cannot tell you a time (to launch 5G) right now because the discussions are ongoing,” he told reporters after launching the Rangkaian Kita, Rangkaian Malaysia (RKRM) brand campaign today.

He said 5G will be part of the RKRM campaign, which will empower all Malaysians and businesses in the country to be connected in every possible way, at all times.

“The 5G roll-out is another new technology, which has been coming in the past 25 years.

“It will definitely be part of our RKRM programme, and it complements the whole comprehensive network,” he said.

On another note, chief marketing officer Loh Keh Jiat said before the end of the year, Maxis will have a partnership with other companies to bring more entertainment via live streaming to consumers.

“We are continuing to explore with our partners to bring more content and relevant digital services to our consumers,” he said. – Bernama, February 9, 2022
