Malaysia’s 5G journey officially began with a bold push from the government and industry stakeholders to establish a robust and high-speed 5G infrastructure.

The Asia Direct Cable (ADC) is set to revolutionize the digital landscape of East and Southeast Asia. Spanning 9,988 kilometers, this submarine cable system connects critical hubs in China, Japan, Singapore, the Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam. Designed to meet the growing demand for high-capacity bandwidth in the region, the ADC cable promises to significantly boost digital connectivity, providing a foundation for future technological advancements in industries such as artificial intelligence (AI), 5G, and the Internet of Things (IoT).

Telecom networks are highly energy-intensive, and as digitalization continues to advance, so does the demand for energy. Notably, telecom networks account for a substantial portion of global electricity consumption.

The convergence of telcos and hyperscale cloud providers (hyperscalers) has become a focal point, especially since the emergence of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI).

In a development that has sent shockwaves through the tech industry, Chinese startup, DeepSeek, has unveiled its latest artificial intelligence (AI) model, DeepSeek-R1.

The United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, Japan, and the United States of America collaborate through the Global Coalition on Telecommunications (GCOT) to advance telecommunications technology innovation, fostering security, growth, and societal benefits across all participating jurisdictions.

The Asia Pacific (APAC) region is at the forefront of the global Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) revolution, leveraging connected technologies to optimize production, enhance operational efficiency, and drive economic growth.

Indonesia's digital economy is on a meteoric rise, with projections estimating its gross merchandise value could reach approximately USD 360 billion by 2030, potentially making it the largest in Southeast Asia. The proliferation of e-commerce, fintech, and digital services has intensified the demand for robust data infrastructure, necessitating the expansion of data centers to support this digital ecosystem.

Unlike public 5G networks, private 5G networks provide enterprises with dedicated spectrum, ensuring reliability, security, and operational efficiency.

Japan is turning its attention to light-based communication technologies to expand data centers beyond crowded urban hubs. The government plans to offer financial support to develop optical technology, a fast and energy-efficient solution that promises to revolutionize data transmission.
