KOTA KINABALU, Sept 18 \u00a0—\u00a0The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) has implemented the\u00a05G\u00a0Demonstration Project (5GDP) as a new approach to prepare the country\u00a0for new technologies, said Communications and Multimedia Minister Datuk Saifuddin Abdullah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said it was to allow more demonstration projects to be carried out to enable technology testings and reengineering processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt will also enable more organized planning in prioritizing the availability of spectrum resources and networks to be launched in a targeted manner, so that cost is optimal to ensure\u00a0new services are affordable to\u00a0end-users,\u201d he said in his speech at the Gerbang Sabah launch here tonight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gerbang Sabah was launched by Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saifuddin said the 5GDP implementation was a catalyst in fostering holistic and inclusive\u00a05G ecosystem development that could stimulate demands and early adoption of 5G in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this regard, MCMC would implement 5GDP by collaborating with telecommunication companies in Sabah, he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saifuddin said the government would always listen to the grievances of Sabahans and take proactive actions to ensure they receive quality and comprehensive communication services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Under the National Digital Network (JENDELA) plan, several infrastructure initiatives have been identified to be implemented to improve broadband services coverage and quality in Sabah from 2020 to 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn ensuring strong connectivity, there is a need to implement appropriate adoption of technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe country\u2019s terrains, especially in Sabah and Sarawak require appropriate technology to ensure coverage, quality user experience, reasonable cost as well as sustainable services,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
