KUCHING, SARAWAK, 6 September 2024 – CelcomDigi Berhad ("CelcomDigi") and Sarawakian telecommunications infrastructure specialist, Borneo Restu Sdn Bhd ("Borneo Restu") have entered into a strategic partnership to enhance high-speed internet access across Sarawak, under the Point of Presence (PoP) Phase 2 project, supporting the State's ongoing digital transformation efforts.

马来西亚航空公司的塞尔康迪吉私人有限公司("塞尔康迪吉")和砂拉越电信基础设施专家婆罗洲Restu私人有限公司("婆罗洲Restu")已经达成战略合作伙伴关系,以加强砂拉越的高速互联网接入,支持州政府正在进行的数字化转型工作。

The collaboration marks a milestone in the PoP Phase 2 project, which is designed to improve connectivity throughout the State, with a focus on expanding internet access in both suburban and rural areas, especially to schools in these areas. Enhanced digital access will empower communities by opening up new opportunities for businesses, driving digital innovation, attracting investments, and creating new jobs, contributing to enhancing the quality of life for Sarawakians, as well as the overall economic development of the state.

该合作标志着PoP第2阶段项目的一个里程碑,旨在改善州内的互联性,重点是扩展市郊和农村地区的互联网接入,特别是面向这些地区的学校。增强的数字接入将使社区有更多商机,推动数字创新,吸引投资,创造就业机会,提高砂拉越人的生活质量,以及促进州内的经济发展。

At the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signing ceremony to formalise the partnership, CelcomDigi's CEO, Datuk Idham Nawawi said, "This partnership is a significant step in the development of Sarawak's digital infrastructure, as we join forces to facilitate better digital access, ensuring that the enhanced connectivity benefits by all Sarawakians. We look forward to a long-standing partnership with Borneo Restu, delivering the PoP Phase 2 project as well as exploring more initiatives to accelerate Sarawak's digitalisation efforts."

在签署谅解备忘录(MoU)的仪式上,塞尔康迪吉的首席执行官Datuk Idham Nawawi表示:“这项合作是砂拉越数字基础设施发展的重要一步,我们共同努力促进更好的数字接入,确保所有砂拉越人都能从增强的互联性中受益。我们期待与婆罗洲Restu建立长期合作伙伴关系,推动PoP第2阶段项目的实施,并探索更多措施加速砂拉越的数字化工作。

Borneo Restu's Managing Director, Ian W Lee reiterated the company's readiness in the timely implementation of the PoP Phase 2 project. "We remain committed to expediting the completion of the remainder of the project by the end of 2025, and look forward to playing a key role in Sarawak's digital transformation by working closely with CelcomDigi to support Sarawak's economic and social development through better connectivity."

婆罗洲Restu的董事经理Ian W Lee重申了公司在及时实施PoP第2阶段项目方面的准备工作。“我们致力于在2025年底前加快完成项目的其余部分,并期待与塞尔康迪吉密切合作,通过更好的互联性支持砂拉越的经济和社会发展。”

Last year, the Ministry of Communications allocated RM3.9 billion to continue the implementation of the PoP Phase 2 project, involving 3,693 PoP sites near schools in the rural areas throughout the country. In Sarawak, RM1.08 billion was allocated to Borneo Restu to build 681 PoP sites across Sarawak.

去年,通信部分配了39亿令吉继续实施PoP第2阶段项目,涉及全国农村地区学校附近的3,693个PoP站点。在砂拉越,分配了10.8亿令吉给婆罗洲Restu,在整个砂拉越建立了681个PoP站点。

CelcomDigi is also part of the Sarawak Digital Economy Corporation's SMART600 project, aimed at improving digital connectivity in rural Sarawak. At present, CelcomDigi's 4G coverage in populated areas for the state stands at 90%, with further improvements expected as the company accelerates its post-merger network integration and modernisation exercise.

CelcomDigi也是沙捞越数字经济机构SMART600项目的一部分,旨在改善沙捞越乡村地区的数字连接。目前,CelcomDigi在该州人口密集区的4G覆盖率为90%,随着该公司加快合并后的网络整合和现代化改造计划的推进,预计将进一步提高覆盖率。

Beyond enabling connectivity, CelcomDigi is actively engaged in several other initiatives to drive digitalisation in Sarawak. This includes organising the MY5G SME Digital Workshop in Kuching last week, empowering about 200 local MSMEs with digital skills and resources needed to improve business efficiencies through digitalisation and thrive in a digital economy. CelcomDigi was also the platinum sponsor of SUKMA 2024 in Sarawak, pioneering the nation's first-ever live broadcast, powered by 5G-Advanced (5G-A) technology, from SUKMA 2024 to viewers across Malaysia, as well as deploying 5G-A powered 360° cameras at Stadium Sarawak that enabled viewers to enjoy an immersive experience of the sports arena's atmosphere remotely via a Virtual Reality (VR) headset. In addition, the company also achieved the fastest mobile speeds at 30.8Gbps during a live 5G-A trial conducted in Kuching.

除了提供连接服务,CelcomDigi还积极参与了几项推动沙捞越数字化的倡议。其中包括上周在古晋举办的MY5G中小企业数字研讨会,为约200家本地中小微企业提供了数字技能和资源,以提高业务效率,并在数字经济中取得成功。CelcomDigi还是沙捞越2024年苏克玛(SUKMA)的铂金赞助商,通过5G-Advanced(5G-A)技术为全马观众提供了我国首个直播体验,并在沙捞越体育场部署了5G-A动力的360°摄像机,让观众可以通过虚拟现实(VR)头盔远程享受运动场馆的沉浸式体验。此外,该公司还在古晋进行的5G-A实地试验中实现了最快的移动速度达到30.8Gbps。
