Introduction

SALURAN initiative was introduced to
ensure connectivity across Sarawak

In 2018, the state Government launched the Sarawak Digital Strategy. The main highlight of the development is to build a robust digital infrastructure that widens the coverage and provides connectivity all over Sarawak. 

Hence, SALURAN – a Sarawak government initiative was implemented. SALURAN stands for Sarawak Linking Urban, Rural, and Nation which ensures that Sarawakians living in the Urban and Rural areas can have decent connectivity and access to the internet. 

MCMC together with SMA is helping to accelerate the state Government’s SALURAN initiatives. Among the objectives are: 

Extending 4G Network Reach

Expanding Telecommunication Coverage

Upgrading Existing Infrastructure

Initiatives

SALURAN provides initiatives for the
people of Sarawak

The Sarawak government’s commitment is to build Sarawak Multimedia Authority Rural Telecommunication (SMART) towers apart from the existing 3100 Towers and structures. This enables telco companies such as Celcom, Digi, Maxis, U Mobile, MySRBN by SDEC, and others to provide mobile broadband services. 

In some far-reaching areas with no terrestrial backhaul such as relay towers and fiber, the agency will install Very Small Aperture Terminal (VSAT) to provide broadband via Satellite as an interim solution. Apart from this, the SALURAN initiative also includes the JENDELA program by MCMC. 

Components

Testimonials

SALURAN initiative gave a huge impact
to the company
"I used to think that my telco line was acceptable before MySRBN came into my hometown. The MySRBN has indeed provided me with a superior internet experience. I now able to utilize the Internet for almost everything because of the speed it offers."

"I am glad that the government has initiated this home broadband initiative. Previously, we relied heavily on mobile networks, which, in my opinion, were frequently disappointing in terms of speed, particularly when it comes to online learning."
