Malaysia Broadband Technology

The Malaysian telecom industry was liberalised in the mid 1980’s, following a
period during which it faced a number of restrictions.. In March 2010, incumbent
operator, Telekom Malaysia (TM) launched its high-speed broadband (HSBB) fibre
network to the public.. The slow take-up of broadband has been exacerbated by the
fact that Malaysia’s broadband speeds have been notoriously slow and services
costly compared to other Asian nations. According to a study released by the Asia-
Pacific Carriers’ Coalition (APCC) in June 2010, Malaysia topped four out of five
categories differentiated by network speeds covering Ethernet broadband monthly
rental and installation costs. However, with four 3G players, a network of WiFi
hotspots, four WiMAX operators and FTTH now available from Telecom Malaysia as
part of the Government’s HSBB project, the broadband sector in Malaysia should
witness a greater push towards wider broadband adoption in coming years.
Telekom Malaysia is also Southeast Asia's second-largest
telecommunications company. Telekom Malaysia officially changed its global brand
from Telekom Malaysia to TM in April 2005. In Q1 2010 TM launched its high speed
broadband service dubbed UniFi over its recently deployed fibre-optic network. TM
can now offer triple play services. However, the growth of WiMAX technologies is
expected to cause a dramatic fall in TM’s share in Malaysia’s broadband customer
base from 97 per cent to 77 per cent in 2014.
 After an initial phase of immature overcrowding and fierce competition in the
mobile market, three main players emerged. They are Celcom, Maxis and DiGi. With
a penetration rate in excess of 100 per cent (though an estimation of real penetration
is close to 75 per cent due to multiple SIM ownership), the mobile market has seen
spectacular growth, jumping from 3 million subscribers in 1999 to 30,794,000 at Q1
2010 of which 24,392,000 were pre-paid. 3G subscribers accounted for 7,459,000 of
the total mobile subscriber base at Q1 2010.

At the end of 2009, Maxis continued to lead the mobile market with a
subscriber base of 12.3 million. Celcom was in second place at end 2009 on 9.2
million, while DiGi followed with 7.7 million subscribers. U-Mobile, a new operator
with its exclusively 3G offerings was trailing the field with an estimated 1.2 million
subscribers at end 2009. The key emphases with respect to operators’ strategies
include subscriber loyalty and retention, leveraging customer data, and expansion
into non-traditional areas, especially broadband.
In 2005 both TM Net, operating under the Celcom brand, and Maxis launched
3G services. Celcom was the first operator to launch services which use HSDPA
technology in mid 2006. In September 2006, Maxis also launched 3.5G (HSDPA)
services as part of the 'wireless broadband modem' service targeted at 'mass market
consumer/home' users (instead of business or corporate). Celcom and Maxis have
progressively upgraded their entire 3G networks to 3.5G capability.
In January 2010 Maxis Mobile became the country’s first cellco to deploy
HSPA+ upgrades, doubling the speeds of its wireless broadband services in Kuala
Lumpur. Customers in selected areas will initially benefit, but a wider-scale roll-out of
the upgrade is expected throughout 2010. With the HSPA+ upgrade, Maxis’ wireless
broadband network can support peak downlink speeds of 21Mbps.
DiGi Communications, the third largest mobile operator in Malaysia, is owned
in majority by Telenor ASA of Norway. In 1995 DiGi became the first telco in
Malaysia to launch and operate a fully digital cellular network. It was also the first to
offer GPRS (2.5G) and later EDGE (2.75G) in Malaysia in 2004. Finally in March
2009, DiGi launched its long-awaited mobile broadband service based on HSPA
technology. DiGi aims to capture a third of the 3G market within the next five years
based on the fact that there is a pent-up demand for mobile broadband services in
Malaysia, as 60 per cent of people actively use the Internet, but only around 20 per
cent of households are connected to the Web.
DiGi first bid for 3G licences in 2002, when the regulator first issued such
licences in Malaysia. However, DiGi subsequently opted not to bid. In November
2005, there were only three interested parties in the second round of 3G licences -
DiGi, TIME dotCom and MiTV. In April 2006 the bidding winners were announced as
Time dotCom and MiTV. DiGi finally secured 3G spectrum when it completed a
transfer from government-backed Time dotCom in 2008, effectively allowing it to
operate a 3G network.
DiGI has been working hard to catch up with Malaysia’s other 3G players after
finally launching 3G services in 2009, targeted primarily at fixed broadband
subscribers and delivered only via a 3G enabled USB dongle. In late 2009, DiGi
unveiled new tariff plans to attract more customers to its 3G mobile service. It has
since garnered 30,000 3G subscribers. In February 2010 DiGi announced a further
expansion to its HSDPA-enabled 3G network, offering theoretical downlink speeds of
up to 14.4Mbps in Sarawak.
In June 2010 Celcom and DiGi signed a MoU with an aim to consider long-
term infrastructure collaboration. The focuses of the MoU are on transmission and
site sharing, operations and maintenance, and radio access network.
U Mobile is Malaysia’s newest 3G service provider and is a subsidiary of U
Television (formerly known as U Telecom Media Holdings and MiTV Corporation). In
addition to offering mobile telephony and mobile data, U Mobile became Malaysia’s
first ever true mobile TV service provider in late 2007 with its Mobile LiveTV service
using DVB-H technology. In March 2008 U Mobile launched data services using U
Mobile’s own HSDPA mobile network, and in October 2008 U Mobile launched its 3G
content services. In February 2009 the Mobile LiveTV service was scrapped by U
Mobile possibly due to its DVB-H licence being revoked.
In March 2010 Singapore Technologies Telemedia (STT) and U Mobile
entered into a binding agreement that will see the former invest MYR 1 billion in the
cellco.. Following the completion of the deal, STT will look to accelerate the speed of
U Mobile’s 3G network deployment.
