KUALA LUMPUR: edotco Group Sdn Bhd and Japan’s JTOWER Inc have entered into a strategic collaboration to advance the capabilities of their next-generation connectivity offerings in small cells telecommunications infrastructure, in-building network solution (IBS) and macro towers.
The partnership enables both parties to capitalise on their respective expertise and resources to provide enhanced small cells, IBS service and macro towers offerings.
“Both parties will also converge their technological and deployment capabilities to improve competitiveness in markets they operate in,” edotco said in a statement today.
edotco chief executive officer (CEO) Suresh Sidhu said by partnering with an established IBS firm like JTOWER, the company was able to merge its industry knowledge and further boost the next-generation technology portfolio.
“The collaboration comes on the back of the rapid increase in data usage and traffic in the region as more markets gear up for 5G rollouts.
“In order to meet the capacity requirements and provide ubiquitous connectivity to mobile users, networks need to be supplemented with scalable state-of-the-art solutions such as small cells and IBS, especially in dense and high traffic areas such as office buildings, shopping malls and airports,” he said.
Meanwhile, JTOWER CEO Atsushi Tanaka said: “With the partnership with edotco, we would like to expand our technology footprint across Southeast Asia.
“Through knowledge sharing and collaboration with edotoco, we can make a contribution to not only in-building network sharing but also outdoor tower sharing in Japan.”
