Celcom Explores Safety And Security Smart City Solutions With 5G In Langkawi

Celcom Axiata Berhad’s 5G journey continues with the deployment of 5G Safety and Security Smart City solutions in the island of Langkawi. Celcom’s 5G Smart City solutions looks to enhance daily operations for local businesses and authorities, and add to the digital lifestyles of users in Langkawi.

In collaboration with Langkawi’s Royal Malaysian Police (PDRM) and Langkawi Municipal Council (MPLBP), Celcom has deployed the latest 5G Safety & Security Smart City use-case, which offers a security and monitoring effectiveness with multiple 360⁰ UHD 4K panoramic live video surveillance cameras installed at Pantai Cenang in Langkawi.

Currently, Celcom’s 5G Safety and Security Smart City solutions are deployed at four locations along Jalan Pantai Cenang and two locations at Dataran Cenang, Langkawi. The 5G Safety & Security Smart City solutions include Artificial Intelligence (AI) and video analytics capabilities that use 5G. That means they’ll be capable of low latency and high data speeds which allows for real-time monitoring and high definition picture quality.

And they’re not stopping there, as Celcom will be expanding its 5G use-cases to also cover Digital Defense for Beach Boundaries, Crowd Control Monitoring, Digital Control of Inbound and Outbound of Cargo, Fleet Management System, Geo- Fencing & Smart Perimeters and 5G Fixed Wireless Access.

Celcom’s initial 5G tests in Langkawi resulted with user throughputs close to 1.5Gbps and a latency of 16ms. Celcom’s 5G network in Langkawi applies 5G New Radio technology that features C-band spectrum, Massive Multiple-Input and Multiple-Output (MIMO 64T64R) through a 5G Customer Premise Equipment (CPE) technology
