Maxis has partnered with Singtel to create Malaysia’s first all-in-one system for 5G network, top technology, sky, and services automation, built on Singtel’s Paragon for telco networks. The platform does create 5G-Advanced (5G-A ) and 5G technology, edge, and multi-cloud computing more visible to Malay businesses, accelerating modern transformation across different sectors such as manufacturing, transportation, healthcare, and public services.
The Ministry of Science, Technology, and Innovation ( MOSTI ) hosted the Malaysia Commercialization Year (MCY ) Summit 2024, a ceremony that formally established the partnership. At the Maxis booth, Goh Seow Eng, CEO of Maxis, and Manoj Prasanna Kumar, CTO of Singtel Digital InfraCo, signed a Memorandum of Understanding ( MoU).
Made available in Malaysia through Maxis ‘ business arm, Maxis Business, the system did help’ on-demand ‘ top computing services, providing customers with access to low-latency computing, GPU as a Service, and storage. With its multi-access edge computing ( MEC ) capabilities, data from end-users and devices can be processed at the edge. This, combined with Artificial Intelligence ( AI), provides real-time processing and intelligent decision-making.
With the click of a button, businesses can create network slices on-demand and deploy mission-critical 5G applications on MEC with the help of Paragon’s powerful marketplace, which Maxis customers and partners can access for both customers and partners.
Our collaboration addresses customer needs, according to Goh Seow Eng, by offering a unified 5G platform that makes orchestration simpler across network and cloud environments. The platform gives businesses greater access, speed, and flexibility to seamlessly deploy and manage 5G and cloud computing solutions. This will enable them to concentrate on their main line of business, boosting their standing on the global stage. We as the leading integrated telco in the nation anticipate accelerating the adoption of 5G-A and 5G and the digitalization of Malaysian businesses as the preferred digital business partner.
Meanwhile, Bill Chang, CEO of Singtel Digital InfraCo, said,” We’ve seen a strong shift in demand from enterprises for 5G and edge computing capabilities to accelerate their digital transformation. Singtel has been in the forefront of this development, creating various strategic alliances with telcos around the world, with Paragon playing a key role in this development.
He continued, adding that Paragon makes it easier for telcos to deliver and scale 5G use cases, and that the company is pleased to work with Maxis to expand and strengthen the service opportunities of 5G and edge monetisation in Malaysia.
The platform’s capabilities can benefit businesses through a wide range of enterprise applications across different verticals that require high-speed data processing, such as real-time analytics, mixed reality, and autonomous systems. To meet the cybersecurity and data sovereignty needs of Malaysian businesses, the platform will be hosted and deployed locally.
In four ASEAN markets, Paragon’s platform creation and power have now been successfully used. With Maxis bringing this capability exclusively to Malaysia, it will be simple for multinational corporations to operate with ease, with a shared goal, and with a unified architecture throughout the region. Given Malaysia’s upcoming ASEAN chairmanship in 2025, where the country will play a more active role in leading the regional bloc’s economic and digital aspirations, the move is appropriate.
This collaboration demonstrates Maxis ‘ commitment to bringing innovation to the market and enabling Industry 4.0 transformation through practical use cases. In addition to 5G and cloud-native solutions, this commitment includes leading the development of next-generation solutions in Malaysia around AI and Generative AI, the Internet of Things, and 5G-Advanced technology.
