But more than adoption, Idham added that CelcomDigi believed that nurturing an enabling environment for the development of 5G policy, adoption, and applications will be crucial in boosting the 5G ecosystem in the country. “This is why we believe that beyond adoption, participation of enabling sectors like banking and property development, to name a few, will also be crucial in paving the way to unlocking benefits all consumers and businesses.”

Idham also added that CelcomDigi is ramping up its efforts in the coming months to better serve the small and medium enterprise (SME) sector including larger enterprises and corporate Malaysia.
