Demanlink Connexion Sdn. Bhd., a Sarawak-based telecommunications infrastructure company, today announced the deployment of two tailored connectivity solutions in Siburan and Bintulu, marking milestones for the company and the state. The deployments include Sarawak's first telecommunications smart pole, located in Taman Impiana, Siburan, and Demanlink's first built-to-suit (B2S) site in Kampung Jepak, Bintulu. Both solutions are equipped with future-ready 5G equipment designed to enhance connectivity coverage in growing urban areas and along key transport networks.
The smart pole in Siburan is a multi-functional street infrastructure that delivers seamless 5G connectivity for residents and commuters. Its compact design supports 5G-ready equipment and enables co-location for multiple Mobile Network Operators (MNOs), optimizing infrastructure use and network coverage. Additionally, it functions as a lamp pole, improving visibility for drivers and pedestrians. This deployment addresses the need for efficient infrastructure in densely populated areas, reducing the footprint of traditional telecom towers while enhancing service quality.
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. 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 this key transport corridor. These deployments are crucial for bridging the digital divide in Sarawak, particularly in areas where connectivity is essential for education and economic activities.
Hanad Yusuf, Chief Executive Officer of Demanlink, emphasized the broader impact of these initiatives: “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.” This statement underscores the company's commitment to supporting Sarawak's digital transformation goals through targeted infrastructure investments.
Following these deployments, Demanlink continues to expand its footprint across Sarawak in partnership with key local and industry stakeholders. The company recently completed an In-Building Coverage (IBC) deployment at One Shell Square Miri, bringing high-speed 5G connectivity to one of the state's key energy sector hubs. Building on this momentum, Demanlink is currently deploying several high-speed 5G IBC sites across Sarawak, further growing its portfolio of macro sites, smart poles, and in-building solutions.
