KUALA LUMPUR: Maxis Bhd has targeted between 100 to 150 new commercial buildings for its telecommunication services this year, vice president and head of enterprise and carrier business, Fitri Abdullah, said yesterday.The company was looking at buildings mainly in the Klang Valley, Penang and Johor Baharu, he said.
Maxis has to date connected 340 buildings after having provided its services to over 100 new buildings last year.
“We have also done smart partnerships with developers. End of last year, we signed an agreement with Cyberjaya to provide end-to-end solutions,” Fitri told reporters after the signing of strategic collaborative agreement between Maxis and Macro Lynx Sdn Bhd here.
“We will continue to enrich our customers’ experience by investing in better quality coverage across more buildings nationwide. This year, we will extend our reach beyond the Klang Valley to Penang and Johor Baharu,” he said.
Maxis had put in place direct fibre access into an additional 31 per cent of the buildings in the Klang Valley last year, he said.
Under yesterday’s agreement, Maxis and Macro Lynx will provide information and communications technology (ICT) services to Malaysia’s first Grade A++ commercial complex, the GTower, located in the Kuala Lumpur City Centre.
Maxis and Macro Lynx will provide a full suite of end-to-end fixed solutions to tenants at the first internationally certified green building in Malaysia.
“Macro Lynx will be able to leverage on Maxis’ fixed fibre network which allows both parties to expand their service area and improve on services to customers and we have also provided comprehensive coverage,” Fitri said.
Macro Lynx, a wholly owned subsidiary of Goldis Bhd, is the ICT facilities manager for GTower. — Bernama
