KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) has allocated the 2600 MHz spectrum band to eight companies which will allow them to provide 4G services.
MCMC said on Wednesday the eight are Celcom Axiata Bhd, DiGi Telecommunications Sdn Bhd, Maxis Broadband Sdn Bhd, Packet One Networks (M) Sdn Bhd, Puncak Semangat Sdn Bhd, REDtone Marketing Sdn Bhd, U Mobile Sdn Bhd and YTL Communications Sdn Bhd.
MCMC said the allocation of the band would pave the way for Malaysians to enjoy 4G services that could offer mobile broadband speeds in excess of 100 Mbps. It said the technology promises many news services to consumers such as high definition video streaming, enhanced user experience on real-time applications and better connectivity for mobile and consumer electronic devices.
