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

Demanlink Connexion Sdn. Bhd. has announced the successful deployment of two tailored connectivity solutions in Sarawak: the state's first telecommunications smart pole in Siburan and the company's first built-to-suit (B2S) site in Kampung Jepak, Bintulu. Both solutions are equipped with future-ready 5G equipment and aim to enhance connectivity coverage in growing urban areas and along transport networks.

The smart pole, located at Taman Impiana in Siburan, delivers seamless 5G connectivity for residents and commuters. Its compact, multi-functional design supports 5G-ready equipment and allows co-location for multiple Mobile Network Operators (MNOs), optimizing infrastructure use and network coverage. Additionally, it functions as a lamp pole to improve visibility for drivers and pedestrians.

In Bintulu, Demanlink's maiden B2S site in Kampung Jepak will provide network coverage for nearby residential and commercial areas, as well as a transport network. The tower is strategically positioned 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. It 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.

Hanad Yusuf, Chief Executive Officer of Demanlink, said, "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."

Following these deployments, Demanlink continues to expand its footprint across Sarawak. The company recently completed an In-Building Coverage (IBC) deployment at One Shell Square Miri, bringing high-speed 5G connectivity to a key energy sector hub. Building on this momentum, Demanlink is deploying several high-speed 5G IBC sites across Sarawak, further growing its portfolio of macro sites, smart poles, and in-building solutions. With a 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.
