Kuala Lumpur, 29 November – EDOTCO, a key player in the telecommunications infrastructure industry, today, announced a groundbreaking partnership with ZETA IOS Sdn Bhd, an integrated network solutions provider. This strategic collaboration is set to revolutionise rural connectivity by developing an integrated Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) and Super WiFi solution utilising advanced low earth orbiting satellite broadband internet technologies such as SpaceX Starlink, MEASAT CONNECTme, Eutelsat OneWeb as backhaul to deliver unparalleled end-to-end rural connectivity solution.

In line with EDOTCO’s mission to help the nation accelerate equitable connectivity, the partnership with ZETA IOS is a critical step towards achieving this goal. This collaboration also aligns with the government’s ambitious goal to connect the last 1 million unconnected citizen across the nation, thereby bridging the digital divide and fostering inclusive digital growth. ZETA IOS was strategically chosen for this venture due to its impressive credentials and capabilities in end-to-end integrated connectivity solutions.

The agreement exchange was witnessed by YB Fahmi Fadzil, Minister of Communications & Digital, at a Networking Luncheon organised by EDOTCO Group during the TowerXchange Meetup Asia Conference on 28 & 29 November at Shangri-La Kuala Lumpur.

Adlan Tajudin, CEO of EDOTCO, expressed his enthusiasm: "Through our partnership with ZETA IOS, we are taking a significant leap in connecting the most remote areas of Malaysia, where connectivity infrastructure under the National Digital Network (JENDELA) initiative may not reach. The integrated FWA solutions utilising satellite backhaul service is not just a technological advancement; it's a lifeline that bridges the gap, ensuring that no community is left behind in our journey towards a fully connected Malaysia. We are committed to bringing connectivity to every corner of the country, transforming lives and

empowering rural communities with the digital tools they need to thrive in the 21st century."

This partnership marks a significant milestone in EDOTCO’s commitment to shaping the nation’s digital connectivity.
