Juniper Networks, a leader in secure, AI-driven networks, has been selected by PP Telecommunication (PPTEL), a leading network service provider based in Sarawak, to provide solutions to build a new core network that will support its growth plans.
This network will provide the foundation to help PPTEL meet the demand for critical high-speed Internet connectivity, providing consumers and businesses with access to richer digital experiences and services.
The move also comes as Sarawak, the largest state in East Malaysia, prepares to undergo major changes to its digital infrastructure as part of the Sarawak Multimedia Authority’s (SMA) plans to fast track the state’s digital economy.
PPTEL’s infrastructure puts the company in a unique position to support these plans – the company relies on submarine cables from strategic locations in the region to drive latency down while keeping services efficient.
PPTEL is also building the first Tier IV data center in East Malaysia, a testament to the company’s commitment to delivering effective services that will drive Sarawak’s digital economy.
Perry Sui, Senior Director, ASEAN and Taiwan, Juniper Networks, said: “PPTEL has always played an important role in the advancement of networking in Malaysia. Through Juniper’s experience-first networking approach, we are committed to helping PPTEL ensure that enterprises and consumers in Sarawak and beyond become better connected and are ready to take on digitalization.”
