On 27th Nov 2008, YTL Comms, entered a strategic collaboration with Cisco to establish its WiMAX core network in Malaysia. Under the arrangement, Cisco will build and integrate YTL Comms' WiMAX core network — which includes IP CORE, Operating Support Systems, Billing Systems, Proactive Network Operating Center (PNOC), and Interoperability Testing labs — to help YTL Comms quickly operationalize and launch new services.
The business relationship is in line with YTL Comms’ goal to provide mobile internet services nationwide. Upon the nationwide commercial service launch in 2010, Malaysians in both urban and rural areas will be able to simultaneously enjoy 4G converged services - mobile voice, data and video with full mobility, using personal WiMAX mobile devices over the YTL Comms’ extensive WiMAX network.
“We have chosen Cisco because of its proven expertise and leadership globally in IP core network technology and experience in setting up PNOC. We need a technology partner that can enable a fast and efficient WiMAX core network establishment. Cisco has proven it with their innovative and leading-edge IP technology solutions,” said YBhg. Tan Sri (Dr) Francis Yeoh.
