KUALA LUMPUR: Maxis Bhd is in talks with the regulators and the Communications and Multimedia Ministry to determine the rollout of its 5G network to consumers.

       Chief executive officer Gokhan Ogut (pic) said the telecommunications group is looking forward to the 5G rollout and has been working with the regulators and the ministry.

       “However, I cannot tell you a time (to launch 5G) right now because the discussions are ongoing,” he told reporters after launching the “Rangkaian Kita, Rangkaian Malaysia (RKRM)” brand campaign yesterday.

       He said 5G will be part of the RKRM campaign that will empower all Malaysians and businesses in the country to be connected in every possible way, at all times.

       “The 5G rollout is another new technology which has been coming in the past 25 years.

       “It will definitely be part of our RKRM programme and it compliments the whole comprehensive network,” he said.

       On another note, chief marketing officer Loh Keh Jiat said that before the end of this year, Maxis will have a partnership with other companies to bring more entertainment via live streaming to consumers.

       “We are continuing to explore with our partners to bring more content and relevant digital services,” he said. — Bernama
