Malaysian state-backed 5G wholesale provider Digital Nasional Berhad (DNB) could potentially select a second vendor for its 5G network, local press reported, citing a report by Singaporean investment bank UOB-Kay Hian.
The report revealed that DNB isn’t exclusively committed to Ericsson, which was selected in July 2021 to build DNB’s national 5G network. The report also suggested that there could be a provision in the contract related to the introduction of a second network provider—which opens the door for vendors such as Nokia, Huawei or ZTE to get involved in its 5G rollout plans.
