Stop scrolling for a sec, because YTL Communications just made history again, and it’s a huge deal for your internet life.
Its service brand, Yes, is the first telco in Malaysia to commercially launch 5G Advanced. Think of it as your internet connection getting a major glow-up. This isn’t just a small step; it’s a game-changer that promises deeper coverage, faster performance, and AI-ready connectivity for everyone.
The launch went down at the “Yes Presents: The Future First Tech-Talk” event, where Yes showed off its slick new features, including:
- Class-Leading Speed: Faster downloads and uploads that will make your old 5G feel slow.
- Ultra-Low Latency: Perfect for smooth streaming and super responsive gaming.
- Advanced Network Slicing: This is the coolest part, a dedicated VIP priority lane that ensures consistent connectivity across the network. Your TikToks and live streams will never freeze again, even when everyone else is online.
Why This Is Your Digital Destiny
Wing K Lee, CEO of YTL Communications, didn’t hold back: “This is more than a network upgrade; it’s a game-changer. With 5G Advanced, Malaysians can enjoy broader and deeper 5G coverage nationwide and a high-performance wireless network the country has not seen before.” He calls it the “foundation for an uncapped, inclusive and AI-ready society that Malaysians deserve.”
This massive upgrade is happening thanks to Digital Nasional Berhad (DNB) and the tech giants at Ericsson.
“YTL Communications becomes the 9th operator globally to launch 5G Advanced, made possible by the advanced capabilities of DNB’s 5G network,” said David Hägerbro, President & CEO of Ericsson Malaysia.
What This Means For Your Phone
The 5G Advanced rollout is already live in the Klang Valley and will be completed nationwide by December 2025. Here’s what it delivers:
Widest Coverage: By leveraging advanced spectrum integration, Yes 5G Advanced offers stronger indoor penetration (finally, good reception indoors!) and broader outdoor coverage. You’ll be connected to 5G more consistently for data and voice.
AI Future-Ready: With its self-optimizing capability and advanced network slicing, the network can adapt in real-time to create that dedicated VIP priority lane anywhere on the Yes national 5G network. It’s built to enable the next generation of AI and digital experiences.
