KUALA LUMPUR – The 5G network coverage in Selangor has reached 95.9% as of last December, according to Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil.
He said this percentage of coverage is excellent, especially for a state whose economy is based on industries and small and medium enterprises (SMEs) like Selangor.
However, he said that feedback from telecommunications companies indicated that many players in the industry and SMEs have not fully utilised the advantages of the 5G network.
“One of the problems faced is the usage rate among industries, where it is found that many companies and industry players have not fully utilised the 5G network for industrial purposes.
“In this regard, I, together with Investment, Trade and Industry Minister Datuk Seri Tengku Zafrul Tengku Abdul Aziz and the Selangor Chief Minister Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari, will continue to engage with industry players, especially in industrial areas, to ensure they make the best use of this facility.”
Fahmi said this in his briefing on the 5G roll-out to Sultan of Selangor Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah and Tengku Permaisuri of Selangor Tengku Permaisuri Norashikin, during Their Royal Highnesses’ visit to the Malaysian National News Agency headquarters here today. – January 23, 2024
