KUALA LUMPUR: CelcomDigi Bhd have signed a 15-year agreement with Kulim Technology Park Corporation Sdn Bhd (KTPC) to provide fibre connectivity at Industrial Zone Phase 4A (IZP 4A) of the Kulim Hi-Tech Park (KHTP).
The partnership will see CelcomDigi leverage its expertise in fibre infrastructure and enterprise connectivity to support industrial operations and digitalisation initiatives among manufacturers setting up in the new industrial zone.
Established in 1996, KHTP has grown into a key industrial hub in Kedah.
Up to the second quarter, the park has recorded cumulative investments of RM189.4 billion with 48,813 employees, according to KTPC.
As the park expands, reliable, high-capacity connectivity will become increasingly critical to manufacturers operating in digitally connected industrial environments.
Under the agreement, CelcomDigi will manage the fibre duct infrastructure at IZP 4A and offer tenants a range of enterprise solutions, including dedicated Internet access (DIA), private leased lines (PLL), IPVPN, managed dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) and managed fibre services.
Through this partnership with KTPC, CelcomDigi aims to help realise the Northern Corridor’s investment potential and the growth of more technology-driven industries across the country.
KTPC group chief executive officer Datuk Mohd Sahil Zabidi said KHTP’s continued development was not only about expanding industrial capacity, but also creating an environment conducive to business growth, investment and wider economic opportunities.
He said the partnership would ensure IZP 4A had the fibre infrastructure required by incoming manufacturers, supporting their operational needs and the park’s long-term development.
CelcomDigi chief enterprise business officer T. Kugan said the company’s role extended beyond providing connectivity to building the digital foundation that businesses and industries needed to grow.
He said the partnership reflected CelcomDigi’s commitment to bringing its fibre infrastructure and enterprise capabilities to KHTP Phase 4A, supporting Kedah’s industrial ambitions and the Northern Corridor’s continued development.
