EdgePoint Towers Sdn Bhd, part of EdgePoint Infrastructure, a leading Asean-based independent telecommunications infrastructure company, in partnership with the Sunway Group, has deployed Malaysia’s first indoor 5G network in a commercial building. This future-ready in-building coverage solution (IBC) is an extension of Sunway’s telecommunications infrastructure upgrade to enhance connectivity in prime commercial areas in Sunway City, Kuala Lumpur, including Sunway Pyramid Mall & Convention Centre and Sunway Medical Centre.

As part of the collaboration, EdgePoint deployed Active In-Building Solutions to complement the existing Passive Distributed Antenna System (DAS), improving 4G coverage and introducing high-speed 5G connectivity. The initial trial includes 5G-enabled hotspot coverage in high-traffic areas such as food and beverage outlets, restaurants, and cafés. Plans for the year include expanding 5G coverage throughout the mall to provide faster, seamless connectivity for visitors and businesses.

Muniff Kamaruddin (pic), CEO of EdgePoint Towers, said, “EdgePoint has enjoyed a mutually beneficial relationship with the Sunway Group, and this collaboration to upgrade Sunway Group’s buildings with 5G-ready technology is a natural next step for us. We hope the success of this initiative will serve as an effective 5G solution use case for other large, multi-purpose commercial businesses serious about enhancing connectivity, user experiences, and productivity levels. We look forward to continuing to drive 5G adoption throughout the Klang Valley.”

Anandan Balakrishnan, CEO of Sunway Digital Wave Sdn Bhd, commented, “As one of Southeast Asia’s leading conglomerates, our goal is to build sustainable townships and communities by finding innovative ways to create enriching, safe, and connected environments. Fast, reliable, and seamless connectivity is key to realising that vision and enabling our plans to support businesses, customers, and residents within Sunway City. EdgePoint’s future-ready, customisable in-building systems and their operational readiness made them the ideal partner to achieve our shared vision of creating a well-connected environment for everyone.”

He added, “Our priority is to ensure that our customers enjoy all modern-day conveniences afforded by high-speed internet connectivity. Currently, users of Malaysia’s largest mobile network operator can experience seamless 5G connectivity, and by the year-end, all shoppers at Sunway Pyramid Mall will benefit from unlimited, ubiquitous 5G. Being the first commercial building to offer seamless indoor 5G connectivity is a proud milestone for this collaboration.”

Muniff concluded, “We are glad to partner with industry leaders to deliver this national first. This collaboration reaffirms our commitment to supporting businesses and the nation in building one of the best-performing and most reliable 5G networks globally. From nationwide network coverage to deploying targeted 5G solutions tailored to one of Malaysia’s largest conglomerates, the Sunway Group, our efforts will continue.”

EdgePoint Infrastructure is the fastest-growing multi-country tower company in Asean, with a portfolio of 15,600 sites, making it the second-largest tower company in Malaysia.
