The NFCP 1 involves the deployment of 152 towers and the provisioning of cellular mobile broadband services in 93 mukim.
These comprises of eight (8) states namely Johor, Kedah, Kelantan, Negeri Sembilan, Pahang, Perak, Terengganu and Sabah.
Deployment of Towers by State
This project, which was tendered out earlier as Ubiquitous 1 on 31 May 2017, was reviewed by the Commission with the aim of revising to its specifications to fit into the targets set in the NFCP blueprint. Under NFCP 1, the project was separated into two (2) parts, namely Parts 1 and 2.
The Part 1 licensees are responsible to build the towers within six (6) months from the commencement date of the project which was on 15 February 2020. The Part 2 licensees will install radio communications equipment and provide the network service for the provisioning of public cellular services within six (6) months after handover of completed sites from the Part 1 licensees.
For six sites, the Part 2 service provider has been granted a duration of eighteen (18) months to complete the work involved, as these sites are particularly remote, and fiberisation in these locations is a challenge.
The list of sites are as shown below.
