5G is getting an upgrade. Digital Nasional Berhad (DNB) and Ericsson have officially rolled out 5G-Advanced (5G-A) in Malaysia, promising faster speeds, lower latency, and better overall network performance for users on the DNB 5G network.

One of the biggest perks? Better reliability in crowded areas. Unlike standard 5G, 5G-A can handle high-traffic environments like stadiums without connection drops. It also comes with AI-powered network management from Ericsson, ensuring smoother performance and better power efficiency, which could mean longer battery life for your devices.
While 5G-A enhances the everyday user experience, its real game-changer is in industrial applications, paving the way for smarter, more efficient connectivity in businesses and large-scale operations.
If you’re in a 5G-A coverage area, you’ll start seeing a 5G-A label on your device. As of December 2024, Malaysia has hit 18.2 million 5G subscriptions, with an impressive 53.4% adoption rate, showing just how fast next-gen connectivity is expanding.
