Demanlink Connexion Sdn. Bhd., a Sarawak-based telecommunications infrastructure company, announced today the deployment of two tailored connectivity solutions in Siburan and Bintulu. 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 incorporate future-ready 5G equipment and are designed to enhance connectivity coverage in the state's growing urban areas and 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. This deployment is significant as it marks the first integration of telecommunications infrastructure with street lighting in Sarawak, potentially setting a precedent for future urban development projects.
In Bintulu, Demanlink's maiden B2S site in Kampung Jepak will provide 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 with high-speed connectivity. Additionally, the tower is expected to strengthen mobile coverage along nearby 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 of these deployments. "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."
These deployments follow Demanlink's recent completion of an In-Building Coverage (IBC) deployment at One Shell Square Miri, bringing high-speed 5G connectivity to one of Sarawak's key energy sector hubs. Building on this momentum, Demanlink is currently deploying several high-speed 5G IBC sites across Sarawak, expanding its portfolio of macro sites, smart poles, and in-building solutions. The company aims to play a long-term role in strengthening Sarawak's connectivity landscape and enabling inclusive economic growth.
Demanlink's focus on delivery excellence, speed-to-market, and local collaborations positions it as a key player in Sarawak's digital transformation. For more information, visit EdgePoint Infrastructure's Demanlink page.
