Malaysia and Indonesia are partnering for cross country knowledge and information sharing on telecommunication infrastructure, especially on 4G and 5F.
The Malaysia’s Persatuan Penyedia Infrastruktur Telekomunikasi Malaysia, an association of telecommunications infrastructure providers in the country, and Indonesia’s Asosasi Pengembang Infrastruktur dan Menara Telekomunikasi an association that involves companies engaged in the field of infrastructure and tower development in Indonesia, have partnered to sign a Memorandum of Understanding on this area.
Accordingly, both parties will facilitate the exchange of information between both associations in terms of technology roadmaps like 4G densification and 5G, innovative telecom infrastructure designs, processes, rural connectivity, and more. It marks the first collaboration between Malaysia and Indonesia, symbolising a shared step forward in working together to drive digital advancement in the region.
Muniff Kamaruddin, President of PPIT and Chief Executive Officer of EdgePoint Towers commented, “PPIT and ASPIMTEL share a common goal of strengthening our digital infrastructure and driving digital inclusion in our respective countries. We look forward to working closely with ASPIMTEL to further build upon our existing infrastructure knowledge, processes, and
practises while improving Malaysia-Indonesia relations in the same way.”
Theodorus Ardi Hartoko, ASPIMTEL’s Chairman and the President Director of PT. Dayamitra Telekomunikasi, Tbk. (MTEL), commented, “As part of the same region, in Southeast Asia in particular and Asia in general, this collaboration and cooperation to strengthen digital infrastructure and encourage digital inclusion is very good and eagerly awaited. This will automatically encourage digital growth and telecommunications infrastructure in their respective countries. We hope that this
collaboration can be carried out consistently over the long term.”
With the signing, PPIT and ASPIMTEL solidify their respective countries’ commitments to sharing innovative knowledge and best practices, marking a new age of cooperation and partnership between Malaysia and Indonesia to improve digital inclusion within the region.
