IntroductionCOVID-19 and Digital Networks

COVID-19 represents Disaster, Health Crisis,

Economic Crisis. Digital Network traffic

dynamics have changed due to this. The

main attributes are

• The new norm lifestyle of Malaysians.

Face to face communications are

replaced by video conferencing during

WFH & Online Learning etc.

• Frontliners use Critical Comms to perform

SOP enforcements, conduct Border

Controls, to break the chain for COVID-19

transmission and save lives.

.

COVID-19The focus of this presentation is

on Critical

Communications using a

dedicated

Public Safety Network

Certain measures are

being taken to cater

for “essential

services” or “critical

comms”

Is this sufficient?

What does a Digital

Network for

Frontliners require ?

Average DL drops , with 1GB free

Average DL increases , with

targeted free data

We can deduce that in PKPD areas ,• Average DL speed, may

drop by around 40%• Data usage may increase

by around 30%

More MNO translates to lesser

frequency allocation per MNO

and lower cell throughput or data

rate. For 5G Sub 6GHz, frequency

spectrum available is limited.
