Our partnership with Aduna amplifies this commitment by providing developers and enterprises with direct access to advanced network capabilities. By bridging global connectivity with Malaysia's digital landscape, we are setting the stage for a new era of services innovation, making it easier for businesses to build, scale, and deploy new digital solutions that benefit customers nationwide."

Our collaboration with CelcomDigi, a major mobile operator in Malaysia , will strengthen this vision.”
