Malaysia is working hard to become a fully connected digital nation. You've probably heard of JENDELA and 5G, but it can be confusing to tell them apart. While both are important for our internet future, they actually serve different roles.
What is JENDELA?
Think of JENDELA as the foundation for Malaysia's internet. Its main goal is to make sure every Malaysian—no matter where you live—has access to reliable and high-quality broadband. It is all about building the essential infrastructure needed to keep the country connected .
How 5G fits in
It is important to know that the 5G network is separate from JENDELA. The government has tasked a company called Digital Nasional Bhd (DNB) to handle 5G. They are the only ones responsible for building and operating the 5G network, using what is known as a "Single Wholesale Network" model .
Why 5G is a big deal for our future
5G is about much more than just faster downloads on your phone. It is a key part of the government's "MyDigital" plan to boost the economy. By investing in this technology, the country expects to create around 100,000 new jobs as industries grow and adopt new digital tools .
