BERA: The launch of RuralStar, the latest telecommunication technology network infrastructure device, is important for connectivity in hard-to-reach communities, Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob said.
He said the RuralStar solution, which was developed by Huawei Malaysia, was able to connect areas that were not only remote but also had little or no communication infrastructure.
“RuralStar is the catalytic technology that can help Malaysian families improve their living standards and, in turn, increase their digital footprint.
“Through technology like RuralStar, digital skills of people in all segments of society can be nurtured and developed so that the country’s future workforce will have high levels of competitiveness,” he said when launching Huawei RuralStar Pro here.
Also present were Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) interim chairman Salim Fateh, Pahang works, transport and health committee chairman Norolazali Sulaiman, Huawei Malaysia chief executive officer Michael Yuan and Celcom Axiata Bhd chief executive officer Idham Nawawi.
Ismail said that in achieving rapid economic growth, the government remained focused on its main goal, which was to bridge the digital gap and improve the quality of life of the people.
He said the government always strived to bring development to all segments of society in line with the principle of Keluarga Malaysia, which was not to have anyone left behind from enjoying a prosperous, inclusive and sustainable country together.
“Digital connectivity that covers all segments of society is the government’s main objective,” he said.
Citing the recent launch of the Measat 3-d satellite, Ismail also expressed hope that internet access in urban and rural areas would be further improved.
He said the implementation of the National Digital Network Plan (Jendela) would offer 100% 4G coverage in populated areas and a wider 5G coverage and fixed broadband services to nine million premises by 2025.
The prime minister also thanked Huawei Malaysia for helping the government in expediting digital transformation and empowering innovation in the country.
Ismail said the Huawei Customer Solution Innovation Centre in Kuala Lumpur had also showcased various applications, devices and modern software that had tremendously helped industries in Malaysia to become more agile and flexible in this challenging era.
“I am pleased that such cooperation between the government and the private sector has encouraged digital education, thus helping to drive the country to achieve sustainable economic growth.”
At the event, 200 Huawei tablets and Celcom SIM cards were distributed to students in need of the learning aid in Bera.
