KUALA LUMPUR -- Maxis Berhad (“Maxis”), Malaysia's leading integrated communications service provider and REDtone International Bhd, a data and broadband service provider, (“REDtone”) have entered into an infrastructure and spectrum sharing agreement today that will enable both players to fast track their roll out of ultra-high speed 4G networks throughout the country. This will mean customers will have the opportunity to access the highest 4G broadband speeds in the country - up to 150 Mbps, with the latest 4G LTE technology through the combined spectrum.

Both Maxis and REDtone are looking to launch their 4G LTE services early next year in selected areas of the Klang Valley, with other regions to follow closely thereafter.

The infrastructure sharing partnership between Maxis and REDtone responds to the Government’s call for telcos to reduce duplication of network assets, enabling operators to deliver better services. This collaboration will also accelerate broadband penetration in the country, paving the way towards achieving the nation’s National Broadband Initiative aspirations besides enhancing digital lifestyles and the content industry. Infrastructure sharing also helps to reduce capex outflow from the country and maximises usage of spectrum, a scarce and valuable resource.
