Nokia during its media roundtable has explored the application of 5G infrastructure and associated technologies for  industries, enterprises and Malaysian society.

Daniel Jaeger, Head of South East Asia at Nokia said, “5G’s transformative nature lies in its ability to bring a quantum leap in low latency and ultra-reliability connectivity that was not possible with previous technologies. Despite the economic challenges due to the pandemic, 5G adoption across Southeast Asia has been accelerating, and 5G adoption is about to arrive in Malaysia.”

“We believe that the nation’s enterprises and people are ready and looking forward to tap into the growth and innovation prospects that the next generation of connectivity holds,” he added.

Nokia also emphasised the importance of connecting sensors, computers, and staff, which necessitates mission-critical, wireless networking solutions.

“To make the most of 4IR technologies and applications, traditional communication solutions are still limited in terms of reliability, protection, multi-user capability, performance, and mobility. 5G, on the other hand, has the potential to unleash unprecedented productivity gains and integrate all aspects of industries and businesses,” Jaeger said.
