Malaysia’s communications and multimedia commission (SKMM) is upgrading its fiber optic network to address widespread internet access issues. These problems stem from several factors including cable cuts, vandalism, theft, natural disasters, and wildlife interference. Construction work also contributes to disruptions in the network. The upgrade aims to improve signal strength and ensure consistent internet connectivity for users across the country. By addressing these vulnerabilities, SKMM hopes to minimize outages and enhance the overall reliability of the national internet infrastructure. These improvements are critical for supporting Malaysia’s digital economy and bridging the digital divide.
