KUCHING – 5G network coverage in the country has reached 59.5% of populated areas as of the end of April, said Communications and Digital Minister Fahmi Fadzil.
He said in Sarawak coverage stood at 34%.
“The access rate (in Sarawak) for me, is not enough, therefore I am asking the Sarawak state government to list some locations (to be given 5G access) and coordinate with the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission.
“This coordination is important to ensure we are able to soon roll out 5G in locations desired by the state government,” he said while speaking at the World Telecommunication and Information Society Day celebration here today.
Fahmi previously said that the government was aiming to achieve 5G network coverage in 80% of populated areas by the end of the year. – Bernama, May 20, 2023
