Demanlink Deploys Sarawak's First Smart Pole and Custom Tower to Boost 5G Connectivity
Demanlink's deployment of Sarawak's first telecommunications smart pole in Siburan and its first built-to-suit tower in Bintulu enhances 5G access for residents, students, and highway users, supporting the state's digital economy ambitions.
Demanlink Connexion Sdn. Bhd. has deployed two tailored connectivity solutions in Sarawak, Malaysia, marking significant advancements in the region's telecommunications infrastructure. The company installed Sarawak's first telecommunications smart pole in Siburan and its inaugural built-to-suit site in Bintulu, both equipped with future-ready 5G technology to improve network coverage in urban areas and transport networks.
The smart pole, located in Taman Impiana, Siburan, provides seamless 5G connectivity for residents and commuters. Its compact, multi-functional design supports 5G-ready equipment and allows co-location for multiple Mobile Network Operators, optimizing infrastructure use. Additionally, it serves as a lamp pole, enhancing visibility for drivers and pedestrians. This deployment addresses the growing demand for reliable digital access in Sarawak's developing communities.
In Kampung Jepak, Bintulu, Demanlink's built-to-suit tower delivers network coverage for residential and commercial areas, as well as a nearby transport network. Strategically positioned near six schools and Technical and Vocational Education and Training centres, the tower enables students and educators to access digital learning platforms with high-speed connectivity. It also strengthens mobile coverage along stretches of the Pan Borneo Highway, improving connectivity, navigation, and safety for users of this key transport corridor. Hanad Yusuf, Chief Executive Officer of Demanlink, emphasized that these deployments provide a digital foundation for communities to participate in Sarawak's growth, aligning with the state's 2030 digital economy goals.
Following these initiatives, Demanlink continues to expand its footprint across Sarawak through partnerships with local and industry stakeholders. The company recently completed an In-Building Coverage deployment at One Shell Square Miri, bringing high-speed 5G connectivity to a major energy sector hub. It is also deploying several high-speed 5G In-Building Coverage sites across the state, growing its portfolio of macro sites, smart poles, and in-building solutions. With a focus on delivery excellence and local collaborations, Demanlink aims to strengthen Sarawak's connectivity landscape and support inclusive economic growth.
