The fifth-generation (5G) network is vital for the success of Malaysian ports operations as it enables port operators to track ships and to make accurate predictions about arrival times, reducing the disruptions from potential delays.

“5G can enable many improvements within Malaysia’s ports. On a 4G network, a terminal can monitor about 100,000 sensors and Internet of Things (IoTs), devices within a square kilometer. A 5G network raises the potential number of connections to one million,” Juwai IQI Group co-founder and chief executive officer Kashif Ansari said in a statement.
