KUALA LUMPUR, March 26  --  FGV Holdings Bhd’s (FGV) subsidiary, FGV Prodata Systems Sdn Bhd (FGV Prodata), has built 13 telecommunication towers in Terengganu in support of the national digital economy agenda.

FGV Prodata was appointed as the telecommunication tower infrastructure provider by the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) under the National Fiberisation and Connectivity Plan Project, which utilises the MCMC’s Universal Service Provision fund, the FGV said in a statement today.

Group chief executive officer Datuk Haris Fadzilah Hassan said the telecommunications infrastructure provided sustainable, comprehensive, high quality and affordable digital connectivity for residents in Terengganu.

“It aims to increase the speed and stability of internet access in community internet centres which serve to assist small entrepreneurs to increase their income and expand the market of their products.

“The implementation of this project is important to help students who are learning online,” he said.

FGV Prodata has completed the construction of 10 telecommunication towers in the Kemaman, Dungun, Hulu Terengganu, Setiu and Besut districts, while three more telecommunication towers in Kemaman, Hulu Terengganu and Setiu are expected to be completed by end of April and will start operating in May.
