KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 18 -- The government through the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) is actively expanding 4G coverage in Kiulu, a small town in Tuaran district, Sabah, which used to have only spotty radio coverage with 3G network.
In a statement, MCMC said efforts are being carried out in six main locations in Kiulu namely Pukak, Lokub, Mantob, Kitapol, Kampung Sinorut and Kampung Gonipis, and the expansion would increase high-speed 4G data coverage as well as audio service.
“This process involves fibre optics connection to all transmitter towers in the locations, involving almost 39 kilometre-long fibre optic cables and the project is expected to complete by end of this year,” it said.
The MCMC added that the digital infrastructure would be used by all service providers to meet the needs of local residents for quality service and good user experience, besides boosting the economy and ecotourism in Kiulu.
“All upgrades will be using the allocation from the Universal Service Provision Fund,” it added.
