Maxis recently selected Nokia as its key partner to build part of its 5G Core ecosystem to meet future connectivity requirements, expanding on existing collaboration and investing more heavily into next-gen connectivity solutions.
Maxis Nokia collaboration
As part of their collaboration, Maxis will work closely with Nokia on exploring innovative new technologies to bolster Maxis networks further and increase security and reliability, including quantum-safe optical networking which protects against attacks by both classical computers as well as quantum computers.
Both companies will also explore innovations for providing cost-efficient and secure connectivity across cloud environments to bolster network security.
Maxis partnership with Nokia
Maxis recently chose Nokia as its key partner to build out part of its 5G Core ecosystem to meet future connectivity demands, using cloud-native solutions that enable Maxis to utilize 5G capabilities fully.
“Maxis looks forward to close collaboration to create innovation across our network ecosystem and 5G offerings that meet customers’ growing need for fast, secure and reliable connectivity,” stated Goh Seow Eng, the Chief Executive Officer of Maxis.
Maxis recently boasted of successfully conducting what they claim is Southeast Asia’s first 5G Advanced technology trial alongside Chinese vendor Huawei.
Maxis highlighted that their 5G-Advanced trial included a live speed test to demonstrate its capabilities of reaching ultrafast peak speeds of 8Gbps, promising 10 times improvements over current 5G networks in terms of speeds, connected devices, and latency compared to current 5G networks according to Maxis’ claims.
Maxis and Nokia connectivity upgrades
Demo booths featured interactive applications of this technology, such as low-latency live streaming of various Kuala Lumpur city center views and 3D live content streaming, as well as immersive augmented reality (AR) experiences.
Maxis noted the capabilities of 5G Advanced as being essential in supporting digitalization, automation, and the Internet of Things (IoT) across several sectors. Maxis highlighted these advanced capabilities can aid the digital upgrade of industries, including high-end manufacturing, automotive, and smart transportation, as well as state-of-the-art visual communication through 3D and extended reality (XR) applications. In addition, 5G-Advanced will facilitate affordable IoT solutions development; added the carrier.
Next-gen connectivity solutions
Malaysia had previously indicated it would transition to dual 5G networks once DNB achieved 80% coverage across populated areas – something it accomplished before year-end.
All telcos in Malaysia currently provide 5G services using DNB’s network infrastructure.
Malaysia’s government recently confirmed that a special committee charged with overseeing 5G deployment was working towards producing a Cabinet memorandum soon to decide if additional 5G networks are acceptable in Malaysia.
