YTL Communications has made another historic move for Malaysia’s digital future by becoming the first telco in the country to commercially launch 5G Advanced through its service brand, Yes.
The rollout, already active across the Klang Valley, will reach nationwide completion by December 2025, promising Malaysians deeper coverage, faster speeds, and AI-ready connectivity.
The grand announcement took place at the Yes Presents: The Future First Tech-Talk event, where YTL Communications showcased the remarkable potential of 5G Advanced — including class-leading uplink and downlink speeds, ultra-low latency, and for the first time in Malaysia, advanced network slicing with quality-of-service prioritisation.
This “VIP lane” feature ensures consistent and reliable performance across the Yes 5G network, redefining the standards of wireless connectivity in Malaysia.
Building a Smarter, Stronger Malaysia
“This is more than just a network upgrade; it’s a game-changer,” said Wing K. Lee, Chief Executive Officer of YTL Communications. “With 5G Advanced, Malaysians can enjoy broader and deeper 5G coverage nationwide, forming the foundation for an uncapped, inclusive, and AI-ready society.”
The new 5G Advanced network isn’t just faster — it’s intelligent, designed to power next-generation technologies that rely on ultra-fast connections and real-time data processing. This makes it a crucial enabler for Malaysia’s growing digital economy, smart city initiatives, and AI-driven industries.
Collaboration for National Impact
Datuk Azman Ismail, CEO of Digital Nasional Berhad (DNB), congratulated YTL Communications on this breakthrough, highlighting the significance of network slicing and AI-powered capabilities in achieving Malaysia’s 5G vision.
“With Yes 5G Advanced network slicing now activated nationwide and the upgrade already underway in the Klang Valley, we look forward to working closely with YTL Communications to accelerate the rollout of these advanced capabilities by year-end,”.
Meanwhile, David Hägerbro, President & CEO of Ericsson Malaysia, Sri Lanka & Bangladesh, described the launch as “a new chapter in Malaysia’s digital journey.”
He added that YTL Communications is now the ninth operator in the world to introduce 5G Advanced — powered by Ericsson’s cutting-edge technology, ensuring that Malaysia’s 5G network remains one of the most intelligent and high-performing globally.
