Maxis has partnered with Singtel to introduce a platform for 5G network, edge computing, cloud and services orchestration, built on Singtel’s Paragon for telco networks.
The platform will make 5G-Advanced (5G-A) and 5G technology, edge and multi-cloud computing more accessible to Malaysian businesses and accelerate digital transformation across various verticals such as manufacturing, logistics, healthcare and public services.
Goh Seow Eng, Chief Executive Officer of Maxis and Manoj Prasanna Kumar, Chief Technology Officer of Singtel Digital InfraCo signed the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) during the Malaysia Commercialisation Year (MCY) Summit 2024.
Maxis Business, the enterprise unit of Maxis, will use the platform to enable edge computing services, providing customers with access to low-latency computing, GPU as a Service (GPUaaS) and storage. With its multi-access edge computing (MEC) capabilities, data from end-users and devices can be processed at the edge. This combined with Artificial Intelligence (AI) provides real-time processing and intelligent decision-making.
Paragon offers a marketplace available to both Maxis customers and partners, making it easy for enterprises to create network slices on-demand and deploy mission-critical 5G applications on MEC – all with the click of a button.
Bill Chang, Chief Executive Officer of Singtel Digital InfraCo, said Paragon enables faster monetisation of 5G infrastructure by reducing complexities for telcos to deliver and scale 5G use cases. The platform will be locally hosted and deployed in Malaysia.
