New markets are emerging, existing markets are expanding, and digital inclusion initiatives driven by the government are forming.

To manage these growing demands, mobile network operators (MNOs), Telcos, Internet service providers (ISPs) and Enterprises across Malaysia are facing several challenges. New 4G sites and substantial upgrades to existing 3G sites and underlying networks will be required. Operators will also have to overcome network expansion challenges related to geography and network infrastructure, particularly in the mountainous regions in Sabah and vast areas of Sarawak, making it either physically impossible or economically infeasible to provide communication services using fibre and microwave.

Overcoming these challenges and enabling the adoption of more data-intensive cloud-centric applications will present tremendous growth opportunities for operators—and enterprises— throughout Malaysia.

SES can help operators and enterprises in Malaysia expand their reach, scale more dynamically and have more flexibility allocating bandwidth to meet their network migration challenges and goals. By capitalising on SES’s extensive network expertise, and a range of managed satellite-based solutions optimised for mobile backhaul and enterprise services, operators can achieve their digitalisation goals efficiently and profitably.
