The network, selected by the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission, integrates advanced network-level security features to combat rising cyber threats, particularly in the context of increasing digital transactions.

The network also boasts high-speed capabilities, reaching between 500Mbps and 1000Mbps.
