Maxis Berhad (Maxis), a Malaysian integrated communications provider has selected Huawei as its exclusive supplier for its next-generation high-speed internet network, including the building and managing of a full-service FTTx network, using GPON technologies. This will offer Maxis subscribers fresh fixed-mobile convergence (FMC) services, which will include high speed Internet services after its completion within the year.

Under the agreement, Huawei will deliver an end-to-end turnkey services package that includes active and passive equipment, holistic ODN (Optical Distribution Network) designs, and construction management for the construction of Maxis’ next-generation internet network.

Upon completion of the project, a network of homes in Klang Valley, Penang and Johor Bahru will be connected on a last mile basis using fibre-to-the-home (FTTH) wired technologies. In addition to designing and building the active network infrastructure, Huawei will also manage the FTTH network for three years.
