Although commercial 5G rollout is still a few years ago, Celcom emphasises that they have been long prepared for it.

The 5G test at that time was claimed to be the first in South East Asia to utilise the higher 28GHz band and it achieved a peak speed of 18Gbps on its 5G radio prototype.

The upcoming 5G showcase at Putrajaya is taking place on 18th April 2019 and it will be open to the public from 20th to 21st April 2019. According to MCMC, the showcase gives Malaysians the opportunity to view first-hand the benefits of 5G and how it will impact their lives. According to Celcom, they will demonstrate its capability through several use cases which include hologram dialogue, autonomous self-driving car and immersive conference.
