Gamuda Cove future proof with Maxis' 5G

By AK Grewal

Gamuda Land and Maxis have formed a strategic partnership to appoint the latter as the preferred connectivity and solutions provider to create Malaysia’s first Maxis-delivered 5G township for Gamuda Cove, when 5G is eventually launched here.

5G is the next generation of mobile communications. Once it is available at Gamuda Cove, it means much more than just enhanced connectivity with speeds of up to 10 times higher than what the 4G network can do today.

Importantly, it opens up the community to unimaginable possibilities of smart technologies. The current 4G era has enabled technologies such as seamless mobile and cloud applications. By evolving to 5G, it will enable much higher speed data transfer, low latency and greater reliability. What the community will be witnessing is a quantum leap into more possibilities, where technology like the Internet of Things (IoT) sensors and devices, autonomous vehicles as well as robotic applications that need to utilize and load a vast amount of data will be ubiquitous in the township.

The partnership will see both parties exploring smart city and smart retailing solutions across all Gamuda Land townships in Malaysia.

Gamuda Land will also work with Maxis to fibre up parts of Gamuda Cove with its high-speed broadband connectivity, opening up even more possibilities for digital services for the township’s community as well as businesses.

“This MoU is a crucial step for us towards developing smart sustainable city in Gamuda Land townships. We definitely see technology as a key enabler in driving a smart and sustainable environment into the future but a smart city is not only about cutting-edge technology. It is about smart planning ahead and visualising long-term growth for our townships,” said Ngan Chee Meng, CEO of Gamuda Land.
