Maxis and UTAR will collaborate to develop 5G solutions with a focus on healthcare and education, exploring opportunities in remote surgery, telemedicine, immersive learning, and smart campus initiatives.
Maxis, Malaysia’s leading integrated telecommunications company, and Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman (UTAR) are collaborating to jointly develop 5G solutions by leveraging Maxis’ network infrastructure and technological capabilities alongside UTAR’s expertise as a prominent higher education institution. In a statement, Maxis said the two organisations would explore commercially viable opportunities for deploying and utilising 5G solutions, with a focus on innovation in healthcare and education.
Additionally, the partnership may extend to developing solutions in areas such as cybersecurity, green technology, and smart campus initiatives, also utilising Maxis’ robust network infrastructure. In healthcare, potential 5G-enabled solutions include remote surgery (telesurgery), advanced telemedicine, remote consultations, and real-time health monitoring. For education, 5G solutions aim to enhance the learning experience through immersive environments and interactive content delivery. For instance, 5G-powered augmented reality (AR) applications could enable remote access to lectures while enriching the experience with multimedia content integrated into real-world settings. The collaboration was formalised at a memorandum of understanding (MoU) signing ceremony, where Prof. Dr Ewe Hong Tat, UTAR president, and Prateek Pashine, Maxis chief enterprise business officer, represented their respective organisations. Prof. Dr Ewe remarked, “I am delighted that UTAR is collaborating with Maxis on this innovative journey to develop cutting-edge 5G solutions. This partnership aligns with UTAR’s commitment to fostering research and innovation that address critical needs in healthcare and education. By leveraging the combined strengths of academia and industry, we can co-create transformative solutions that drive technological advancements and societal progress”
