Telekom Malaysia has reached a network sharing deal to access Maxis’ LTE multi-operator core network and domestic roaming services.

The agreement allows Telekom Malaysia to use 6,800 sites for LTE core and domestic roaming services, and 10,000 sites for 2G local roaming, which will extend its 4G coverage across the country and increase mobile population coverage to above 95%.

Telekom Malaysia CEO Imri Mokhtar called the move “an important step in the industry’s collaborative efforts,” adding the partnership will complement its 5G offering.
Maxis CEO Goh Seow Eng noted that industry collaboration is “the right way forward as it will ultimately benefit consumers” with wider coverage through better cost-efficiency and use of resources.
