Demanlink Connexion Sdn. Bhd., a Sarawak-based telecommunications infrastructure company, has announced the deployment of two tailored connectivity solutions in Siburan and Bintulu, marking milestones for the state's 5G rollout. The company deployed Sarawak's first telecommunications smart pole in Taman Impiana, Siburan, and its first built-to-suit (B2S) site in Kampung Jepak, Bintulu. Both solutions are equipped with future-ready 5G equipment and aim to enhance connectivity in growing urban areas and along transport networks.
The smart pole in 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. The pole also functions as a lamp pole, improving visibility for drivers and pedestrians.
In Bintulu, the B2S site in Kampung Jepak will provide network coverage for surrounding residential and commercial areas, as well as a nearby transport network. Strategically located close to six schools and Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) centres, the tower enables students and educators to access digital learning platforms with high-speed connectivity. It is also expected to strengthen mobile coverage along stretches of the Pan Borneo Highway, improving connectivity, navigation, and safety for users of the state's 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 in partnership with key stakeholders. The company recently completed an In-Building Coverage (IBC) deployment at One Shell Square Miri, bringing high-speed 5G connectivity to a key energy sector hub. 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.
With a focus on delivery excellence, speed-to-market, and local collaborations, Demanlink aims to play a long-term role in strengthening Sarawak's connectivity landscape, enabling inclusive economic growth across communities and enterprises.
