MTSFB is delighted to announce the award of the Industry Promotion and Development Grant (IPDG) Cycle 1/2026 to Uni-Technologies Sdn Bhd for the "Study of Coexistence Between Uncrewed Aerial Systems (UAS) and International Mobile Telecommunications (IMT) Networks in Malaysia” project.

The Agreement Sign-Off Ceremony was successfully held on 5 May 2026, officially kicking off this collaborative initiative between industry stakeholders, mobile network operators, and drone ecosystem players.

Through simulations and real-world field measurements, the project will study how drones and mobile networks can safely coexist, supporting future drone applications while safeguarding network performance for everyday users 📡

This marks another important step towards enabling Malaysia’s low-altitude economy and strengthening innovation within the communications and multimedia industry.

Congratulations to Uni-Technologies Sdn Bhd, and thank you to all collaborators involved. We look forward to the journey ahead!

Most people only notice connectivity when it slows down. But behind every video call, cloud service and broadband connection is the fixed network infrastructure keeping everything running. 🌐

The Fixed Network Facilities (FNF) Working Group at MTSFB focuses on strengthening fixed network standards for seamless connectivity, supporting the development of reliable and future ready communications infrastructure through collaboration with industry players, experts, academia and stakeholders.

If your organisation is involved in network infrastructure, fibre deployment, telecommunications facilities, broadband services or technology development, your expertise can help shape the standards and technical requirements supporting Malaysia’s fixed network landscape.

👉 Join the FNF Working Group and be part of the collaboration driving resilient and seamless fixed network connectivity.

Satellite communications may operate beyond the horizon, but they play a critical role in connecting Malaysia across land, sea and remote areas.

Under MyTMAP2030, satellite technologies continue to evolve to support broader coverage, resilient connectivity and emerging use cases, complementing terrestrial networks and strengthening national communications capabilities.

At MTSFB, this progress is supported through the establishment of the Satellite Communications Working Group (WG7) in 2025, focusing on the development of Technical Codes for satellite communications. This helps align national policy direction with practical implementation, enabling the industry to adopt satellite technologies in a consistent and interoperable manner.

📌 Satellite communications are more than connectivity. They extend the reach of policy, technology and standards to where they are needed most.

MTSFB engaged with the National Cyber Security Agency (NACSA) Malaysia on 2 April 2026 to strengthen collaboration in advancing Malaysia’s cyber security ecosystem.

The session revisited the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed on 30 July 2024 and set a clear direction for future cooperation. Discussions centred on technical code development, policy implementation and cohesive national standardisation efforts, particularly through NACSA’s active participation in MTSFB Working Groups.

Priority areas identified include capacity building to enhance industry readiness, the development of the AI Cyber Security Requirements Technical Code to address emerging risks, expanded collaboration in cyber security programmes and initiatives such as AIoT, and greater involvement in risk mitigation technical codes and international contributions.

We are encouraged by NACSA’s intention to extend the MoU, together with its commitment to contribute experts to MTSFB Working Groups and Task Forces in line with Section 12 of the Cyber Security Act 2024 (Act 854).

This continued partnership reflects a shared commitment to building a resilient and future-ready cyber security landscape for Malaysia.

Standards do not appear overnight. They are built through collaboration, discussion and industry input.

From identifying real challenges to working group discussions, public consultation and eventual adoption, the development of Technical Codes is a structured process shaped by the industry at every step.

This ensures that Technical Codes are not only technically sound, but also practical, relevant and ready for real world implementation.

📌 Standards are built by the industry, for the industry.

MTSFB held an engagement session today with CyberSecurity Malaysia to explore opportunities for closer collaboration in advancing the nation’s cybersecurity landscape.

The discussion centred on strengthening cooperation across key areas, including the development of technical standards, joint industry initiatives, knowledge sharing on emerging technologies, and alignment on cybersecurity policies and strategic priorities.

This engagement marks an important step towards fostering stronger industry collaboration, enhancing knowledge exchange, and driving coordinated efforts in cybersecurity development across Malaysia.

We look forward to continued partnership and meaningful outcomes.
