The MyDIGITAL initiative which includes the impending arrival of 5G rollout in Malaysia would further enhance of the Digital Economy, and the various solutions that make it possible, including networking equipment, said Fortesys Distribution Sdn Bhd.
Its Regional Sales Director Kevin Kuak said that 5G connectivity would translate into greater productivity as more businesses adopt latest technologies to realise greater efficiencies.
Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin had earlier this year unveiled Malaysia’s MyDIGITAL initiative under the purview of the Malaysia Digital Economy Blueprint, and among the initiatives is the 5G rollout to provide faster and broader internet connectivity to Malaysians in the next decade.
The government is expected to spend some RM15 billion on the country’s 5G network, with the rollout jump-starting by year end.
“5G will bring tremendous benefits such as lower latency, faster speeds, and greater load capacity, with browsing and download speeds estimated to be 10 to 20 times faster than the 4G network,” said Kuak.
For Fortesys, 5G also promises greater demand for networking solutions, including the Peplink range of products which the company distributes.
Fortesys is well known for providing a wide range of advanced networking solutions, and leveraging global brands for wired and wireless networking equipment and software.
The company also has a strong reputation for enabling enterprises and telcos to streamline their IT operations with their networking solutions, while transforming infrastructure to be ‘intelligent’ by leveraging on artificial intelligence and machine learning.
Peplink, meanwhile, is a world renowned brand of wireless devices under Peplink International Ltd. of the United States. The company offers enterprise router, Wi-Fi, SMB networking, cloud-based central controller, and other related services, as well as network solutions.
“Peplink has become synonymous with ‘unbreakable connectivity’,” said Kuak, adding that Peplink “indeed pushes the boundaries of what is possible”.
Today, Peplink has over 70+ granted patents regarding its SpeedFusion SD-WAN technology.
The Peplink’s SpeedFusion SD-WAN routers, in turn, have been deployed around the world, helping thousands of customers from varied industries to increase bandwidth, enhance Internet reliability, and reduce costs.
“The winning formula that Peplink has is that, its complete product line includes models for business of all sizes, and provides an award winning Internet experience for our clients,” concluded Kuak.
