Nokia has said that it remained committed to supporting its customers and partners in Malaysia to create value and provide a foundation to accelerate the digitalisation of the country’s key industries. 

In a statement, the Finnish telco vendor said since the introduction of its National IR 4.0 Policy last year and the recently launched Centre for the Fourth Industrial Revolution earlier this year, Malaysia has made progress in steering strategic socio-economic transformation with the adoption of Industry 4.0 technologies nationwide. 

Mohd Rauf Nasir (pic), managing director of Malaysia, Sri Lanka & Maldives, Nokia said, “Private wireless has proven to be a critical enabler to accelerate Industry 4.0 and as Malaysia continues to implement its Industry 4.0 strategies, it is more critical than ever for enterprises to accelerate the adoption of these technologies and unlock new opportunities to boost Malaysia’s economy.

“We look forward to continuing our long-standing relationship with our partners here in Malaysia and deploying the best-in-class solutions needed to drive the nation’s digital transformation journey as well as transforming the lives of Malaysians,” said Mohd Rauf.

During its recent Nokia Technology Day, the company said it highlighted how it is providing mission critical solutions for communication service providers and enterprises across key industries such as manufacturing, oil and gas, and agriculture.
