Jumping Back Onto The 5G Bandwagon

INTRODUCTION

Self-driving cars, robot doctors controlled remotely conducting surgeries and celebrity holograms will no longer be scenes from futuristic sci-fi movies. With the implementation of 5G, we will see life imitating art with endless opportunities for this transition into a more connected and automated world. Asimov would be proud.

5G has consistently dominated headlines since the beginning of 2019, promising faster speeds, lower latency and better connectivity for mobile internet. The expectation that 5G will revolutionise the world as we know it is high, especially where the internet is playing an increasingly larger role. According to the 2019 Industry Performance Report by the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission ("MCMC"), the mobile broadband subscription in Malaysia increased from 39.45 million in 2018 to about 43.48 million in 2019.
