YTL Communications, under its Yes brand, has set a precedent as the inaugural telecommunications firm in Malaysia to officially introduce 5G-Advanced technology. Their coverage is already operational throughout the Klang Valley, with a nationwide rollout projected to be completed by December 2025. Yes 5G-Advanced promises heightened speeds, superior coverage, Artificial Intelligence-capable connectivity, and network slicing for prioritized and reliable connections, marking an industry first in the Malaysian telecommunications sector.

A Network Game changer

The introduction of 5G-Advanced is more than just an upgrade on the network. It’s a significant shift in the landscape of telecommunications, set to transform the way Malaysians engage with technology. The revolutionary upgrade will offer broader and deeper 5G coverage across the country, promising a wireless network capacity that the nation has never experienced before. This latest development lays the groundwork for an unrestricted, inclusive, and AI-ready society.

The newly launched 5G-Advanced is powered by the Ericsson-built network of Digital Nasional Bhd (DNB). With this collaboration, Yes has become the ninth operator globally to adopt 5G-Advanced technology, further enhancing its strong indoor and outdoor coverage capabilities. The service operates on the 700 MHz and 3,500 MHz spectrum, offering ultra-low latency and high-speed performance that is ideal for streaming, gaming, and other critical applications.
