PETALING JAYA: Digi.com Bhd is planning to aggressively double site rollout for the year by adding more than 1,500 sites to solidify its stronger and more extensive network position by year-end.
“We’ve aggressively expanded our 4G LTE reach in 28 major cities and secondary towns nationwide, with key market centres enjoying a steady average of 80% population coverage, making the benefits of Digi’s 4G LTE services easily accessible to half the Malaysian population,” its CEO Albern Murty said in a statement yesterday.
In the past three years, Digi has invested RM2.3 billion in capital expenditure primarily on its network, and has committed an additional RM900 million this year to further strengthen its network and to deliver internet for all Malaysians. This includes plans to aggressively double the 4G LTE sites rolled out for the year to expand coverage in key market centres and into more secondary towns across Malaysia.
Today, Digi is Malaysia’s widest 4G LTE network covering 50% of the nation’s population, in addition to a 3G footprint of 87%.
