KUALA LUMPUR – Allo Technology Sdn Bhd is teaming up with Juniper Networks to upgrade its existing network infrastructure.
The upgrade will support current and future demands “for crucial high-speed Internet connectivity, especially in previously underserved communities, as more Malaysians work and learn at home while enterprises offer increasingly comprehensive experiences and services during the pandemic,” Allo Technology said in a statement today.
Juniper Networks is a networks solutions provider that relies on artificial intelligence (AI) while Allo, a wholly owned subsidiary of Tenaga Nasional Bhd, provides world-class fiberisation connectivity nationwide.
“We are excited to expand our partnership with Juniper Networks in support of Malaysia’s immense digital transformation. The government and our partners have repeatedly entrusted us to deliver high-speed and high-quality connectivity.
“As we continue to pave the way toward a fiberised nation, alongside Juniper Networks, we remain committed to creating the connectivity that will enrich the lives of all Malaysians, especially in the previously underserved communities across our nation,” said Allo Technology chief technology officer Muhammad Mohd Yunos.
Allo played a pivotal role in supporting MSC Malaysia by providing world-class fiberisation connectivity to Cyberjaya, a special economic zone and ICT hub.
The company is also responsible for deploying the Cyberjaya Metro Fibre Network, Malaysia’s first fully fiber optic open access network, and was recently entrusted by the Malaysian government to implement the National Fiberisation and Connectivity Plan Pilot in Jasin, Melaka under the National Broadband Initiative to enable nationwide broadband connectivity.
To keep pace with the growing demand for high-speed connectivity due to pandemic-induced measures, Allo has expanded its fiberisation coverage nationwide targeting 180,000 premises by end-2021.
Allo strengthened its network with Juniper to further modernize its digital infrastructure by implementing the Juniper Networks MX480 Universal Routing Platforms.
“These solutions deliver unprecedented scale for business and residential edge applications and services, enabling enterprises and consumers, especially those in underserved areas, to enjoy high-quality, low latency broadband and mobile connectivity.
“Allo’s network team achieved a faster time-to-market by engaging Juniper Professional Services, allowing for maximized operational efficiency while reducing costs and minimizing risk.
“Allo will now be able to provide improved services to its customers and partners, which include some of Malaysia’s largest retail service providers. With the country’s internet penetration rate standing at 84.2%, these network upgrades will also enable Allo to scale their network nationwide efficiently and better support the pace of cloud adoption and 5G capabilities across the country, in line with MyDigital national initiatives to transform Malaysia’s economy,” the company said. – The Vibes, October 15, 2021
