Malaysia’s MRANTI Park has signed an extended Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with DNB and Ericsson to promote awareness and adoption of 5G technology among businesses in Malaysia. The partners will contribute to the development of the MRANTI 5G Experience Center, providing content and support to ensure innovators, researchers, startups, and businesses are well-equipped on 5G literacy. MRANTI CEO Dzuleira Abu Bakar stated that this collaboration strengthens MRANTI’s position as the leading hub for 4IR enabling technologies.
Last year, MRANTI Park became 5G ready, achieving download speeds exceeding 600Mbps, due to the previous collaboration with DNB and Ericsson. The partners also delivered physical and digital 5G engagements with MRANTI innovators and community, specifically during MRANTI 5G Open Day and National Science Week. This year, the partners aim to accelerate the commercialisation of STIE-related innovations enabled by 5G, with a focus on facilitating more targeted discussions and interactions with innovators and opening the 5G experience center to businesses.

The partnership between MRANTI, DNB, and Ericsson is expected to accelerate the development of 5G-enabled STIE solutions, driving innovation and growth in various industries.
