KUCHING – The installation of antennas on water towers can be an alternative solution to resolving internet access problems in Sarawak, said Communications and Digital Minister Fahmi Fadzil.
He said this could complement the over 600 telecommunication towers built statewide by the Sarawak Digital Economy Corp.
Fahmi said if this was successfully implemented in Sarawak, it will also be used in other states that face the same telecommunications problems.
“We will assess from a technical point of view whether telecommunications equipment can be installed (on water towers) or at other high locations,” he said after an inspection of the telecommunications tower at Pantai Trombol here today.
Fahmi also said that a total of 125 towers built by the Sarawak Multimedia Authority will be operational ahead of the Gawai Dayak celebration next month. – Bernama, May 21, 2023
