Demanlink Connexion Sdn. Bhd., a Sarawak-based telecommunications infrastructure company, announced the successful deployment of two tailored connectivity solutions: Sarawak's first telecommunications smart pole in Siburan and the company's first built-to-suit (B2S) site in Kampung Jepak, Bintulu. These deployments are pivotal for strengthening 5G connectivity in the state's growing urban areas and transport networks, advancing digital inclusion for local communities.
The smart pole, located at Taman Impiana, Siburan, delivers seamless 5G connectivity for residents and commuters. Its compact, multi-functional design supports 5G-ready equipment and enables co-location for multiple Mobile Network Operators (MNOs), optimizing infrastructure use and network coverage. In addition to telecommunications, the pole functions as a lamp pole, enhancing visibility for drivers and pedestrians. This innovation represents a shift toward integrated infrastructure that supports both connectivity and public safety.
In Bintulu, Demanlink's maiden B2S site in Kampung Jepak will deliver network coverage for surrounding residential and commercial areas, as well as a nearby transport network. The site is strategically located close to six schools and Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) centres, enabling students and educators to access digital learning platforms and online educational resources with high-speed connectivity. The tower is also expected to strengthen mobile coverage along stretches of the Pan Borneo Highway, improving connectivity, navigation, and safety for users of this key transport corridor.
Hanad Yusuf, Chief Executive Officer of Demanlink, emphasized the broader impact: “Technology is a powerful socioeconomic catalyst. These deployments are about more than coverage. They are about giving communities in Siburan and Bintulu the digital foundation to participate in Sarawak's growth. As the state works toward its 2030 digital economy ambitions, Demanlink's role is to make that infrastructure a reality, one community at a time.”
Following these deployments, Demanlink continues to expand its footprint across Sarawak. The company recently completed an In-Building Coverage (IBC) deployment at One Shell Square Miri, bringing high-speed 5G connectivity to one of the state's key energy sector hubs. Building on this momentum, Demanlink is deploying several high-speed 5G IBC sites across Sarawak, further growing its portfolio of macro sites, smart poles, and in-building solutions to serve the state's evolving connectivity needs.
These initiatives underscore Demanlink's commitment to delivery excellence, speed-to-market, and local collaborations. By partnering with stakeholders such as EdgePoint Infrastructure, the company aims to play a long-term role in strengthening Sarawak’s connectivity landscape and enabling inclusive economic growth across communities and enterprises.
