KUALA LUMPUR: Maxis Bhd has become the first service provider in the country to surpass 5,000 sites across both West and East Malaysia, delivering high speed wireless broadband and mobile data capabilities to 21 million Malaysians covering over 80% of the Malaysian population.
In a statement Thursday, April 14, Maxis said this was made possible through the expansion plan that it embarked last year, with a capital expenditure of over RM1.4 billion.
Maxis chief executive Sandip Das said that over the last two years the company had worked hard at revamping its system, modernising its network, creating new transmission and building its IP networks to prepare ourselves for the surge in demand for data and broadband.
'This ticks another leadership box for Maxis. The strength and quality of our coverage will help bring to life the rich content, applications, downloads and relevant services that Maxis can offer, across a wider footprint than any other service provider in Malaysia.
'This leadership position in wireless broadband complements Maxis' leadership in fibre footprint and strategically positions us as an integrated player,' he said.
Sandip said it provided Maxis with the capability to offer seamless''experience regardless of the delivery''and access network to customers.
Maxis recently launched its Maxis Home Services on 31 March 2011, the first multiple-play service in the country.
For customers residing in a fibre-connected area, as Maxis customers, they will be able to benefit from Maxis Home Services which offer High Speed Internet packages that bundle a number of existing services, said Sandip.
Additionally, customers will also have the opportunity to experience a range of enriched categories of content, including interactive applications that can be enjoyed on their laptops, tablets and smartphones, he said.
He said Maxis would offer the full suite of the services by the third quarter of 2011.
Meanwhile, Maxis executive vice president for network and TECHNOLOGY [] Mark Dioguardi said that by providing the widest and fastest broadband network coverage in the country, our customers can take the Internet with them essentially wherever they go.
With its enhanced broadband footprint, Maxis was enabling them to enjoy wider coverage as the company covered more tertiary and secondary towns, he said.
'With this new accomplishment, Maxis is 'blanketing' Malaysia with increasingly seamless Wireless Broadband coverage.
'Customers connecting to the Internet on Maxis' Wireless Broadband network can now experience a sense of security - trusting that reliable connectivity and wide coverage will be available to them as they move around Malaysia,' he said.
In addition to all major urban cites, the recent expansion has occurred in towns such as Batu Pahat, Labis, Bahau, Gemencheh, Kuala Pilah, Palong, Sik, Hutan Melintang, Padang Besar, Labuan, Beaufort, Kuala Penyu, Keningau, Tambunan, Kota Marudu, Ptas, Kudat, Lahad Datu, Papar, Sandakan, Bera, Semantan, Jengai, Semporna, Sipitang, Tawau, Tuaran, Bau- Lundu, Betong, Kanowit-Julau, Limbang-Lawas, Marudi, Meradong-Dalat, Mukah, Niah, Padawan, Saratok, Sarikei, Serian, Sri Aman, Tatau, Asajaya-Simunjan.
Dioguardi said Maxis had also recently completed trials of Next Generation LTE technology which promises quadruple data speed and network capacity.
'The Maxis High Speed IP network is in place to now support even more advanced services and we expect to be able to deploy the LTE networks within the next few months.'
'Maxis was the first to get off the blocks to trial LTE successfully. The lab testing commenced in June 2010 and Maxis has since started the live field testing at four sites in the Klang Valley, namely at Bandar Utama, Taman Tun Dr Ismail, Damansara Utama and Damansara Jaya,' he said.
