Engineering and project management consultant HSS Engineers Bhd has successfully diversified into the telecommunications sector, as its unit HSS Integrated Sdn Bhd (“HSSI”) accepted two Framework Services Agreements from Digital Nasional Bhd (“DNB”) to provide consultancy services for the national implementation of Malaysia’s 5G infrastructure and network.
DNB is mandated by the Malaysian Government to be the single neutral party for the deployment of 5G infrastructure and network nationwide.
The scope of HSSI’s consultancy services to DNB encompasses commercial contract management for term sheets and access agreements, RFx and negotiation for site leasing CRate card and special conditions, as well as site management partner for post site acquisition activities.
Tan Sri Ir. Kuna Sittampalam, Executive Vice Chairman of HSS Engineers Berhad said:
“We have been eyeing opportunities in the telecommunications sector in recent years, especially since the Malaysian Government has trained its sights on next-generation technologies to fast-track the nation’s digital aspirations.
We are extremely excited to embark on this prestigious undertaking that will allow us to reprise our integral role in further enhancing Malaysia’s telecommunications infrastructure. This is a successful diversification in HEB Group’s customer base, complementing our prowess in the transportation, ports, and water sectors.
This marks HEB Group’s first and grand entrance into the telecommunications segment, which leverages our track record and deep experience in undertaking national infrastructure projects.
We believe that this consultancy service for DNB is a precursor to additional scopes of works for HEB Group, and we reiterate our commitment to supporting the nation’s development.”
