KUALA LUMPUR: CelcomDigi Bhd today says it will engage with various stakeholders and consider viable options after it is not selected as the main operator of the second 5G network.
The mobile operator said its priority remains to ensure that its customers have affordable access to a competitive, robust and efficient 5G network.
"We will discuss with various stakeholders to consider several viable options ahead of us, to the benefit of our customers and shareholders," it said in a statement.
In the meantime, CelcomDigi said it will continue to focus on merger integration to realise savings and synergy targets and continue delivering the best possible experience to our customers.
"Our network integration is now 68 per cent complete and 65 per cent of our customers benefit from improved experience on the new CelcomDigi intelligent network, ahead of schedule," it said.
Late Friday, the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission announced that U Mobile Sdn Bhd had been chosen to implement the second 5G network.
Overall, CelcomDigi said the announcement will have no impact on its 5G customers, and all consumer and enterprise customers with 5G devices will be able to continue accessing and enjoying 5G services as usual.
The company said it will continue delivering the best choice and value in connectivity services.
"CelcomDigi remains committed to the sustainability of the industry and to drive the nation's transformation into a 5G-AI powered digital society," it added.
