Malaysia's DiGi Half Way Through Network Upgrade Programme
Published on:
Malaysian mobile network DiGi says that it is half way through a network upgrade and plans to expand its 3G network to three-quarters of the population by the end of this year.
The company has completed upgrades on 3,000 of its 6,000 base stations and said that it had seen an improvement in performance. The company was speaking just after the Malaysian regulator fined all three main networks for missing quality standards.
"We have seen significant quality improvements over the last six months in all areas where we have completed network upgrades; these include a steady decline in incidences of dropped calls, consistency in data setup success rates, and the lowest volume of complaints from our customers," the company's CTO, Ole Martin Gunhildsbu said.
However, the company also outlined some of the problems it faces when trying to maintain its network, particularly in rural areas where theft of equipment can have a disproportionate impact on the wider network coverage.
