Kudos to Maxis Berhad for being the first service provider to surpass 5,000 3G sites across East and West Malaysia. In their recent announcement, the coverage allows Maxis to deliver High speed Wireless Broadband and Mobile Data capabilities to 21 million Malaysians covering over 80% of the Malaysian population.

According to Maxis, this industry breakthrough was made possible through the massive expansion that Maxis embarked on in 2010, with a capital expenditure of over RM1.4 billion. With its end-to-end smart network, Maxis provides better data experience for its customers, from simple voice usage to meeting the growing demand for data-intensive applications delivered across an exciting range of smart devices.

Sandip Das, Chief Executive Officer, Maxis said, “We are very excited with this achievement. Over the last 2 years we have worked hard at revamping our system, modernising our network, creating new transmission and building our IP networks to prepare ourselves for the surge in demand for data and broadband. This ticks another leadership box for Maxis. The strength and quality of our coverage will help bring to life the rich content, applications, downloads and relevant services that Maxis can offer, across a wider footprint than any other service provider in Malaysia. This leadership position in Wireless Broadband complements Maxis’ leadership in fibre footprint and strategically positions us as an integrated player. It provides us with the capability to offer seamless experience regardless of the delivery and access network to our customers.”
