Maxis Berhad and Huawei Technologies (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd have partnered to work on a 5G-Advanced (5.5G) acceleration programme which includes various areas to drive commercialisation and adoption in Malaysia, spanning use cases, key technologies, technology evolution, and the ecosystem.
Both will work with solution providers to drive applications and ecosystem innovation and explore initiatives to promote adoption and facilitate migration, further accelerating the technology’s acceptance. They will also showcase the benefits of end-to-end 5.5G versatility, security and robustness via trial and testing.
At the same time, both companies will utilise network insights to identify opportunities for business solutions and optimisation enabled by 5G and 5.5G, focusing on consumers and businesses, including small and medium enterprises (SMEs). This includes exploring opportunities in key technologies related to digital operations, network slicing and network
programmability.
Most recently, both companies successfully showcased the first 5.5G or 5G-Advanced technology trial in Malaysia and Southeast Asia. The trials included a single-user live speed test to demonstrate 5.5G capabilities to achieve ultra-fast peak speeds of up to 8Gbps, in line with the promise of 5G-Advanced technology.
