KUALA LUMPUR (Aug 14): Maxis Bhd is launching a new range of plans with 5G services from Tuesday (Aug 15), following the execution of the access agreement it inked with Digital Nasional Bhd to subscribe for the latter's 5G network on a wholesale basis.

"The plans are designed to meet the increasing digital needs of both consumers and businesses, especially for video content consumption and productivity tools. We are excited to bring 5G plans to our customers following our shareholders' approval at the extraordinary general meeting today (Monday, Aug 14), and the subsequent signing of the access agreement with DNB.

"Our plans offer attractive value for all segments, with a focus on affordability and adoption so that everyone can enjoy the benefits of 5G," said Maxis chief executive officer Goh Seow Eng.
