5G Evolution in Malaysia

1. 5 Great facts about 5G

1.1. -Latency – a thing of the past -Everything’s connected -Efficiency at its best -Everything in real time -More users, more data, No Problem

2. 5G to boost economy

2.1. 5G is able to change the digital trajectory of the nation’s economy and enhance our capabilities in the Industrial Revolution 4.0 (IR4.0) as industries take full advantage of AI, robotics, big data, VR and software engineering.

3. 5G infrastructure

3.1. Nokia nabs greater part of BT 5G infrastructure As UK incumbent telco continues removing Huawei technology from its network, Finnish comms tech giant scores big

4. 5G development

4.1. 5G defies Covid to stay set to transform industries across the board

4.2. Despite fears of a halt to development, study sees increased 5G investment during pandemic, with 5G-related investment rising by double digits compared with 2019 forecast and 5G-related jobs set to soar

5. 5G Vision and Requirements

5.1. All machines, humans, things are wirelessly connected by 2020: – 25 billion connection – Massive Connectivity – Download speeds of 10Gbps – Latency of 1 milliseconds – Ultra Reliable – Long Battery Life

6. 5G Consequences

6.1. -limited global coverage -Weakened device battery -Lack of encryption early in the connection process -Decreased broadcast distance

7. Benefits Of 5G Services

7.1. Ultra-Reliable, Low Latency Communication (URLLC)

7.1.1. Facilitates near-instantaneous reaction times between the push of a button and the required reaction on the other end​

7.2. Enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB)

7.2.1. Provides speeds of up to 10 Gbps, making it potentially 100 times faster than 4G​

7.3. Massive Machine Type Communication (mMTC)

7.3.1. Enables up to one million connected devices per square kilometre, allowing the Internet of Things to come alive at a scale never seen before in Malaysia​

7.4. Network Slicing

7.4.1. Allows 5G infrastructure to be shared by multiple logical networks with each one tailored to fit a defined business purpose, creating new revenue opportunities for communication service providers with better security, faster service delivery, and improved flexibility​

7.5. Fixed Wireless Access (FWA)​

7.5.1. Provides broadband connectivity using radio links between two fixed points without needing wired or physical connections. This allows high-speed, high-capacity broadband coverage to be supplied to low-income or rural areas which are often left underserved

8. 5G Penetration in Southeast Asia

8.1. 5G penetration is projected to cover 25 to 40 percent by 2025 reaching a total of 200 million subscribers.

8.2. Malaysia is expected to achieve approximately 80 per cent of 5G network coverage in populated areas by the end of 2024.

8.3. Starting with a 10 percent target of 5G coverage in Kuala Lumpur, Putrajaya and Cyberjaya by the end of 2021.

9. 5G to boost economy

9.1. 5G is able to change the digital trajectory of the nation’s economy and enhance our capabilities in the Industrial Revolution 4.0 (IR4.0) as industries take full advantage of AI, robotics, big data, VR and software engineering.

9.2. industries that can take full advantage of 5G include automotives, developers, public safety bodies, media and entertainment, agriculture, education, manufacturing and even healthcare.

9.3. he goals of the MyDIGITAL Blueprint in the 12th Malaysia Plan, 5G will be a key driver of Malaysia’s digital economy aspirations.Currently, the implementation of 5G alongside the expansion of 4G is being carried out throughout the country via the National Digital Network (Jendela) plan.
