The lush rainforests of Malaysian Borneo are witnessing a new era of connectivity, as CelcomDigi’s Skuad 5G team reaches a major milestone in their nationwide journey. In doing so, they are delivering Malaysia’s No. 1 Widest and Fastest Network to communities across Sabah and Sarawak.
Beyond Signal Bars: A Mission Of Connection
This initiative goes beyond technical upgrades. CelcomDigi champions the “5G For All” vision through their Skuad 5G program, ensuring that all Malaysians – regardless of location – have access to reliable, high-speed connectivity.
The Borneo Expedition: 1,630 Kilometers Of Discovery
The journey kicked off with an exciting off-road expedition, starting in Kuala Lumpur before heading to Kota Kinabalu and Kuching, covering over 1,630 kilometers of challenging terrain. In Sabah, the team journeyed to Kampung Bundu Tuhan, engaging with local leadership while conducting real-time network assessments to enhance connectivity in the community.
These weren’t just technical exercises – they were meaningful conversations with communities across Borneo. For residents in remote areas, this mission represents an opportunity to experience CelcomDigi’s network capabilities, bringing potential improvements in connectivity for educational, healthcare, and economic resources.
The Sarawak leg included testing connectivity in both commercial and cultural areas like Kampung Gersik, and Kampung Boyan. The results? Strong, uninterrupted service – even in places that were previously less accessible.
Not Just Engineers: A Community Of Experts
What makes Skuad 5G truly special is its systematic approach to network testing and customer engagement. The initiative consists of specialized network engineering teams tasked with stress-testing CelcomDigi’s network nationwide and ensuring service levels meet the company’s high-quality standards. Senior management accompanies these teams during customer interactions to gather direct, first-hand feedback on network experiences.
The initiative employs three distinctive approaches:
- Network Squad Testing: Specialized teams of network engineers conducting comprehensive connectivity tests across diverse landscapes.
- Extreme Force Testing: Pushing the network to its limits in remote and challenging environments.
- Community-Centric Solutions: Listening to and addressing real customer concerns.
Bridging The Digital Divide
As Malaysia’s largest telecommunications provider, CelcomDigi takes responsibility for bridging the digital divide. So, we took action. Senior leaders and engineers stepped out of their zone and into the field, listening, testing, and experiencing the network firsthand. Not just to see the progress, but to accelerate it. Because real connectivity isn’t just about technology – it’s about showing up, standing by our commitment, and delivering where it truly matters.
The “5G For All” vision reflects CelcomDigi’s commitment to equitable, affordable, and reliable connectivity from the bustling streets of Kuala Lumpur to the traditional villages of Borneo, ensuring every Malaysian has equal access to the digital future.
