The Communications Ministry is optimistic about new technologies being trialled in Johor and Sarawak to improve Internet connectivity in remote areas, according to its minister.
During a working visit to Kampung Seri Bunian on Saturday (Dec 14) to observe the proof-of-concept trial for the Tarana Wireless telecommunication tower, Minister Fahmi Fadzil stated that the ministry is testing various advanced technologies to support the seamless implementation of Phase Two of the National Digital Network Plan (Jendela), with a particular focus on rural and underserved areas.
He also emphasised the importance of hybrid solutions to overcome Malaysia's geographical challenges, including mountains, rivers, and islands, which complicate the rollout of fibre optic infrastructure.
