Demanlink Deploys Sarawak's First Telecommunications Smart Pole and Built-to-Suit Tower to Strengthen 5G Connectivity

Demanlink Connexion Sdn. Bhd. announced the successful deployment of two tailored connectivity solutions for communities in Siburan and Bintulu, marking significant milestones in Sarawak's telecommunications infrastructure development. The company deployed Sarawak's first telecommunications smart pole in Siburan and Demanlink's first built-to-suit site in Kampung Jepak, Bintulu, both comprising future-ready 5G equipment to enhance connectivity coverage in the state's growing urban areas and transport networks.

Situated at the heart of Taman Impiana, Siburan, the smart pole delivers seamless 5G connectivity for residents and commuters in the area. Its compact, multi-functional design supports 5G-ready equipment and enables co-location for multiple Mobile Network Operators, optimizing infrastructure use and network coverage. The pole also functions as a lamp pole, enhancing visibility for both drivers and pedestrians. This deployment represents a strategic approach to urban infrastructure that combines connectivity with public utility functions.

Demanlink's maiden built-to-suit site in Kampung Jepak, Bintulu will deliver seamless network coverage for surrounding residential and commercial areas as well as a nearby transport network. The new telecommunications site is strategically located close to six schools and Technical and Vocational Education and Training 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 nearby 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 socioeconomic impact of these deployments, stating that technology serves as a powerful catalyst for development. These infrastructure projects provide communities in Siburan and Bintulu with the digital foundation to participate in Sarawak's growth as the state works toward its 2030 digital economy ambitions. Following these deployments, Demanlink continues to expand its footprint across Sarawak in partnership with key local and industry stakeholders, including recent In-Building Coverage deployments at strategic locations such as One Shell Square Miri.

The company is currently deploying several high-speed 5G In-Building Coverage sites across Sarawak, further growing its portfolio of macro sites, smart poles, and in-building solutions to serve the state's evolving connectivity needs. With a clear focus on delivery excellence, speed-to-market, and local collaborations, Demanlink aims to play a long-term role in strengthening Sarawak's connectivity landscape and enabling inclusive economic growth across communities and enterprises.
