Malaysia began building a fiber optic network that will allow 1.2 million homes access to broadband of 10 megabits per second (Mbps) and one gigabyte per second (Gbps), local media reported Monday.
Telekom Malaysia, the company responsible for the project, completed in the next two years the installation of this optical network, whose hub is in the city of Putrajaya, the administrative capital of the country.
This optical network will enable Malaysian Internet users to download movies in two minutes, rather than the two hours used in the present (with between 2 and 4 Mbps available).
This project is part of the Malaysian Multimedia Super Corridor, which aims to create a new generation technology center within a radius of 50 kilometers from the international airport to the Petronas Towers, including Kuala Lumpur and Cyberjaya.
"It's no coincidence that the technologically advanced countries like the United States, Japan, Switzerland or Australia, are also at the head of the richest nations," said Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak.
More than 200 companies in the IT sector and technological generate about $ 200 million (133 million) in this corridor, born in 1995.
The speed of broadband Internet in Japan is 15.8 Mbps, 12.8 Mbps in Sweden, Holland, 11 Mbps and 5.1 Mbps United States, according to union Communications Workers of America ( CWA, by its initials in English).
