A Workshop on the Application of the Industry Readiness Assessment Framework for 5G Services was held in cooperation with the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC). Following the MoU between MCMC and MIDA on July 4 to implement programs and initiatives leveraging the 5G network for vertical sectors in Small and Medium Enterprises ( SMEs ), the workshop was held yesterday.
Held by over 100 participants, the one-day factory aimed to build a framework for assessing the preparation of vital sectors in the national economy, particularly manufacturing, services, construction, and agriculture, to embrace 5G technology.
The guidelines that will be used to determine key sectors ‘ preparation include area, expense, skills/talent, digital infrastructure, and services.
Valuable feedback was gathered from the agencies involved, including the Land Public Transport Agency ( APAD), the Malaysian Palm Oil Board ( MPOB), the Malaysia Productivity Corporation ( MPC ), SIRIM Berhad, the SME Corporation Malaysia ( SME Corp), Digital Nasional Berhad ( DNB), telecommunications companies, and relevant industry associations.
The input will then be used, according to MCMC, to create a thorough assessment framework for the use of 5G technologies by numerous Malaysian industries, including SMEs.
MCMC regards this workshop as a major step towards ensuring market readiness in adapting to 5G systems which has the potential to boost productivity and efficiency in the manufacturing, service, construction, agriculture, and mining industries.
MIDA also emphasized its responsibility to creating a conducive atmosphere for the use of this revolutionary technology. The deployment of 5G systems will increase efficiency in vital industries and establish Malaysia as a regional leader in digital innovation. This will, in turn, generate economic growth and enhance the world’s profitability on a worldwide level”, said a MIDA spokeswoman.
This strategic partnership is anticipated to more strengthen efforts to promote and facilitate the implementation of 5G systems in Malaysia’s important business.
