P1, Qualcomm in technology deal

Packet One Networks (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd (P1) today signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Qualcomm Inc on the deployment of Long Term Evolution Time Division Duplex (LTE TDD) technology in Malaysia.

The MoU reflects the parties’ recent discussions on various project opportunities for P1 to plan and/or implement a wireless 4G telecommunications technology upgrade path to LTE TDD.

Information Communication and Culture Minister Datuk Seri Dr Rais Yatim
witnessed the signing of the MoU during CommunicAsia 2011 in Singapore.

"Malaysia is currently one of the world’s leading 4G countries and we will
continue to blaze ahead in ensuring interoperability of various 4G wireless
technologies," P1 Chief Executive Officer Michael Lai said in a statement today.

He said P1 would continue to leverage on the strength of its existing 4G
network in parallel with the LTE deployment plan. -- Bernama
