Breaching the defences
02 December 2024
Amidst rising threats to the world’s telecommunications networks, how can the operators prepare? And what should they be aware of?
The cyber-threat to telecommunications infrastructure in South and Southeast Asia is significant and growing. As the region continues to embrace digital transformation, the volume of data, services, and applications relying on telecom networks is expanding rapidly. This has made telecom infrastructure a prime target for cybercriminals, state-sponsored actors, and other malicious entities.

Let’s agree on one thing: doing business blind is never a good idea. The more valuable data tower companies have, the better business they can do—that’s just the nature of doing business.

Addressing avoidable RF interference
Radio frequency interference (RFI) mitigation is a crucial part of the day-to-day management of satellite operations. Most operators have good processes in place to deal with interference when it happens, and the tools and techniques for doing this have naturally become more sophisticated over time. Yet still, the majority of interference cases that operators have to deal with are caused by human error and equipment failure, so could be avoided in the first place.
Malaysia lacks trust in Artificial Intelligence
28 November 2024
Malaysians are generally optimistic about the potential of AI to improve mobile services, but they don’t quite trust it yet, as concerns about security, privacy and control over personal data remain high, according to a new study released by Telenor Asia.
The study found that in terms of excitement over emerging technologies, AI tops the list for 49% of Malaysians, followed by IoT (48%) and robotics (35%), although that enthusiasm is more common among high-income male Gen-Xers. Women appear more sceptical, being 22% more likely than men to say their mobile is already very efficient without AI integration, and 13% more likely to say they don’t think AI will make much difference in their daily mobile use.
