Swedish telecommunications giant Ericsson was appointed as the 5G vendor by Digital Nasional Bhd (DNB) with contracts worth RM11 billion after a three-month tender process. According to DNB, Ericsson was picked out of four players and their estimated cost was around RM700 million lower than the next closest bid.

On May 3, Communications and Digital Minister Fahmi Fadzil said the government has decided to implement a dual wholesale network (DWN) from single wholesale network (SWN) once 5G rollout has reached 80 per cent of populated areas.
