Digital Nasional Berhad (DNB) has made a significant leap in digital innovation by deploying Ericsson’s Enterprise Virtual Cellular Network (EVCN) at its headquarters. This makes DNB the first organization globally to establish a 5G-first office environment.
Ericsson’s EVCN empowers DNB employees with 5G-enabled laptops managed through the EVCN platform and integrated with Microsoft Intune and Entra ID. This integration ensures that DNB’s workforce enjoys secure, seamless mobile connectivity, allowing for enhanced productivity and collaboration.
In line with its broader national digitalization strategy, DNB is committed to transitioning from traditional Wi-Fi to 5G as the primary connectivity service, thereby improving security, efficiency, and scalability. Furthermore, DNB plans to collaborate with mobile network operators to extend the EVCN service to enterprises and government agencies across Malaysia, promoting 5G adoption in various sectors.
By integrating Ericsson’s EVCN with DNB’s extensive 5G network and utilizing services offered by mobile network operators, businesses can now leverage 5G as their own secure, cost-effective, and low-maintenance networking solution. This transformation brings several key benefits including enhanced mobility, improved user experience, stronger security and IT control, operational efficiency, cost savings, and seamless cloud integration.
Ericsson’s EVCN deployment at DNB not only underscores the potential of 5G to reshape enterprise IT but also highlights DNB’s commitment to driving Malaysia’s digital transformation agenda. As the solution evolves in partnership with service providers, DNB aims to expand its offerings into the business and government sectors, ensuring that Malaysia remains at the forefront of technological advancement.
By consolidating its IT infrastructure within a 5G-based framework, DNB is poised to strengthen its market position, delivering future-ready, cloud-native IT solutions to enterprises nationwide.
