Natalie and Rui Rong explain some challenges in
implementing 5G in Malaysia.
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
2018 Industry Performance Report by the Malaysian Communications
and Multimedia Commission ("MCMC"), the mobile broadband
subscription in Malaysia increased from 28.53 million in 2016 to
about 36.79 million.
