Re-post...
I remember when I was working at a college in PJ a few months ago (or maybe a year ago?), I once wrote a regular article (the boss's instructions). This is the article that I typed, and was proofread by a friend (thank you friend).

Title: “An Interpretation of 5G Coverage in Malaysian Economic Adoption”
5G technology network will launch at the end of 2021? I still remember the other day, my brother was playing online streaming games, and at that moment, he said, "it would be nice if we would be able to enjoy the 5G network here right now, so I could play this online streaming games smoothly, without lagging". I agree with him. It makes me wonder how this 5G technology will impact the community in Malaysia when it is widely used in the future? How will it be used? What about the acceptance of our society in the future? And many questions arose in my mind.
Before that, let's look at what 5G technology means.
As one of the four pillars identified under Malaysia’s digital transformation plan MyDIGITAL, 5G is the latest mobile internet connection technology that offers faster data download and upload speeds than previous technology. The 5G network is ten times faster than 4G, allowing a high-definition movie to be downloaded in seconds compared with minutes today. It also has more bandwidth, which means this technology allows more devices to access the mobile internet simultaneously. The main goal of 5G technology is to maximize end-user satisfaction.
5G roll out
The Prime Minister presented the 12th Malaysia Plan on 27 September 2021. He also touched on the provision of 5G networks for Malaysia. According to him, the 5G technology network will launch at the end of 2021. The partnership is in line with the government's announcement several times before, emphasizing which 5G network will introduce at the end of this year. This year, the government aims to introduce 5G services in Kuala Lumpur, Putrajaya, and Cyberjaya, as contained in the MyDigital action plan.
Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) announced the first set of 5G bands known as “5G pioneer bands”. The 3.5GHz and 26/28GHz bands are critical for 5G rollout, as the former offers more comprehensive coverage. At the same time, the latter is ideal for increasing network capacity. MCMC also said 5G would play an essential role in fulfilling one of the Fiberisation and Connectivity Plan (NFCP) key targets.
Celcom Axiata Bhd is prepared to launch its 5G technology services by the end of 2021, said the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Idham Nawawi, an excerpt from the article in The Edge Markets in September 2021.
As we know, Digital National Berhad (DNB), which the Minister of Finance wholly owns, will develop all 5G implementation infrastructure in collaboration with existing telecommunications companies in the country to save costs and offer network services at low prices throughout the country.
How will 5G technology be used?
According to Alcaraz-Calero (2020) in his article, 5G IoT systems offer an excellent opportunity to offload the node calculation, as they provide several new concepts for dynamic computing that previous technologies did not offer.
A news excerpt from BBC News in January 2020 states that "Whatever we do now with our smartphones, we will be able to do faster and better," says Ian Fogg from OpenSignal, a mobile data analytics company. He added, "Think of smart glasses featuring augmented reality, mobile virtual reality, much higher quality video, the internet of things making cities smarter."
Looking at the excerpt of this paper, the 5G technology would have a significant impact on our society with a more efficient lifestyle. Imagine, we will finally be able to experience virtual reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), mixed-reality, mobile games, and even video streaming free from lag and cables across the country. The doctors will remotely perform surgery using a robot, and hospitals will also have to diagnose a patient’s complaints remotely. The students can access the online learning materials and enjoy the online class from anywhere, and no problem arises even if the students are in their hometown.
Not only that, many things can be performed easily with the 5G technology, such as drones co-operating to carry out search and rescue missions, manufacturing (Industry 4.0), traffic monitoring, smart cities -- these all communicating wirelessly with each other via 5G networks.
According to Prof Dr. Abdullah Mohd Zin (year?), who is a senior lecturer at the Faculty of Technology and Information Science, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM), in an article published on the website of the Information Department of Malaysia, he explained that 5G would also bring change to society with style living more imaginative and more efficiently, for example, simpler online learning systems and better communication to facilitate jobs.
How the technology gives impact to the society?
Although the 5G technology network has not yet been fully implemented in Malaysia, we can see the various services that the community can use. 5G technology will upgrade the network performance with the highest bandwidth and robust security. As the herald of a new 5G technology network in Malaysia, how will it impact society?
Mobile videos prompt faster and glitch-free compared to 4G. Our video calls become more explicit and less breaking or lagging. Wearable fitness devices such as Galaxy fit could monitor our fitness in real-time, notifications, and quick replies.
Mobile gamers should notice minor delay or latency, quick response when pressing a controller, and immediately see the effect on screen because they require a very high-performance connection.
5G services are a catalyst for change for the future economy, as they enable jobs to be created in variety of high-tech activities. In addition, new millennial entrepreneurs can commence economic activities or online-income generating programs, in line with the country’s future transition towards a digital economy.
Driver-less or automated intelligent cars system will communicate and manage traffic management systems by reading a live map and processing traffic data.
Smart cities will be able to employ multiple technologies to improve the living standard of society, providing society with better services in health, transportation, energy, education, public safety, and security.
Heading towards a smart city development, Malaysia will lead the unlimited 5G technology in the future, in line with the changing current of technology. Smart cities involve many connected devices, IoT sensors, and big data collection. We can see the development of smart cities in Cyberjaya and Putrajaya – there is the concept of smart houses!
Malaysia is moving towards the 5G technology, which is a revolutionary new step towards the future of telecommunications and digitalization. May all of us enjoy high-speed data, reliable network services at an affordable price, and extensive coverage across the country in the future.
