KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 14 – Maxis has collaborated with Singtel to introduce Malaysia’s pioneering all-in-one platform for 5G network, edge computing, cloud and services orchestration, developed on Singtel’s Paragon for telco networks.
Maxis in a statement today said the platform will make 5G-Advanced (5G-A) and 5G technology, edge and multi-cloud computing more accessible to Malaysian businesses and accelerate digital transformation across various verticals such as manufacturing, logistics, healthcare and public services.
“The partnership was formalised during the Malaysia Commercialisation Year (MCY) Summit 2024, an event organised by the Ministry of Science, Technology, and Innovation (MOSTI) to drive the national commercialisation ecosystem.
“The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) exchange took place at the Maxis booth between Maxis chief executive officer Goh Seow Eng and Singtel Digital InfraCo chief technology officer Manoj Prasanna Kumar,” it said.
Made available in Malaysia through Maxis’ enterprise arm, Maxis Business, the platform would enable ‘on-demand’ edge computing services, providing customers with access to low-latency computing, GPU as a Service (GPUaaS) and storage.
Integrating multi-access edge computing (MEC) capabilities allows for processing data from end-users and devices at the edge. This is further enhanced by incorporating Artificial Intelligence (AI) to enable real-time processing and intelligent decision-making.
According to the statement, Paragon offers a powerful marketplace available to Maxis customers and partners, making it easy for enterprises to create network slices on demand and deploy mission-critical 5G applications on MEC – all with a click of a button.
