As industries adopt new technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), big data analytics and virtual reality (VR), there is a growing need for reliable 5G network infrastructure to support seamless connectivity, real-time data processing and high-speed communication.

From healthcare to energy, industries require ultra-low latency and high-bandwidth networks to power remote diagnostics, predictive maintenance and AI-driven automation.

A robust 5G ecosystem ensures uninterrupted operations, enhances safety and enables businesses to scale innovation effectively, driving Malaysia’s digital transformation forward.

CelcomDigi is playing a pivotal role in this shift by leveraging its high-speed 5G network to power innovations across the healthcare and energy industries by working with partners to bridge gaps in accessibility, efficiency and safety.

The healthcare industry is undergoing a digital transformation, driven by advancements in AI, 5G connectivity and immersive technologies, reshaping how medical professionals diagnose, treat and educate.

Leveraging AI and its 5G network, CelcomDigi has partnered with University Malaya Medical Centre (UMMC) on immersive solutions to enhance efficiency and transform healthcare delivery.

This has allowed practitioners to visualise complex anatomy in 3D, enabling more accurate pre-operative planning by leveraging the HoloMedicine ecosystem — an extended reality platform integrating VR, mixed reality (XR) and AI.

By incorporating these technologies, the partnership aims to bridge digital gaps in healthcare access, improve remote medical education and strengthen Malaysia’s position in public health innovation.

The 5G-enabled mixed reality platform allows medical students and professionals to gain hands-on experience in complex surgical planning, diagnostics and treatment strategies through immersive and interactive learning.

Compared to traditional medical education, which relies heavily on textbooks, cadaver dissection and static imaging, this technology offers a more dynamic, real-world approach by simulating real-life medical procedures in a controlled environment.

Students can practise repeatedly without risk to patients, leading to greater precision and confidence. Furthermore, the ability to collaborate remotely with specialists across the globe enhances knowledge sharing and ensures trainees have access to the latest advancements in medical practice.

CelcomDigi’s advanced digital tools are designed to enhance the accessibility, efficiency and personalisation of healthcare services. By integrating technology across the patient journey, the collaboration seeks to strengthen public healthcare, ensuring it remains adaptable, accessible and aligned with Malaysia’s evolving healthcare needs.

As a key initiative under Malaysia’s digital healthcare transformation, this partnership will accelerate the modernisation of the country’s healthcare infrastructure, equipping medical institutions with cutting-edge solutions such as HoloMedicine to prepare the next generation of medical professionals for world-class care.

These developments have catalysed the advancements in medical education, as traditional methods are enhanced with 3D simulation technologies for surgical training, anatomy visualisation and real-world medical scenarios.

The popularity of telemedicine in Malaysia has surged in recent years, particularly during the Covid-19 pandemic, as healthcare providers leverage digital platforms to offer virtual consultations, home admissions, remote monitoring and cross-border medical expertise, ensuring continuity of care while reducing the strain on physical healthcare facilities.

With ultra-fast speeds, 5G enables seamless access to virtual consultations from anywhere with mobile connectivity — particularly beneficial for those in remote or underserved areas.

CelcomDigi is committed to driving the digital transformation of Malaysia’s healthcare system by integrating AI and 5G to create smarter, more efficient healthcare solutions.

Seamless connectivity is key, and CelcomDigi’s fastest 5G network delivers high bandwidth and ultra-low latency, ensuring real-time medical data exchange, remote diagnostics and precision-driven treatments.

By bringing together technology, expertise and partnership, CelcomDigi empowers healthcare providers, improves accessibility and ultimately enhances the well-being of every Malaysian.

The energy industry is rapidly evolving, and CelcomDigi is driving innovation by enhancing safety and efficiency with private 5G networks.

These networks ensure seamless operations in high-risk environments by enabling real-time monitoring, predictive maintenance and AI-powered hazard detection, reducing downtime and improving overall productivity.

On offshore rigs, for example, private 5G networks allow workers to be equipped with AI-enabled wearables, proactively monitoring their health to prevent fatigue and protect them in high-risk situations.

These devices can track heart rate, oxygen levels and body temperature, ensuring that workers operating in harsh and high-risk environments receive immediate intervention if needed.

Additionally, integrated AI analytics can predict potential health risks based on patterns in biometric data, allowing for proactive safety measures. In an emergency, instant communication through 5G ensures rapid response from on-site medical teams or remote specialists, significantly reducing the risks associated with offshore operations.

Hazard detection has also advanced with real-time portable sensors and devices that instantly alert workers to potential dangers, such as gas leaks, extreme temperatures or structural instabilities.

These smart sensors, connected via private 5G networks, continuously monitor environmental conditions and relay critical data in real time, enabling swift decision-making and immediate response.

By reducing reaction times and preventing accidents before they occur, these innovations enhance workplace safety and ensure a more secure working environment in high-risk industries such as oil and gas.

In industrial settings, CelcomDigi has enabled cutting-edge technologies like robodogs, autonomous robotic systems designed to enhance safety and efficiency in high-risk environments.

These intelligent machines can navigate hazardous zones, detect potential risks such as structural weaknesses or gas leaks, analyse defects in real time, and even perform remote maintenance tasks with precision.

By reducing the need for human intervention in dangerous areas, robodogs minimise workplace accidents and downtime, ensuring smoother operations in industries such as oil and gas, manufacturing and construction.

Moreover, AI-powered safety cameras connected through 5G provide seamless surveillance and advanced anomaly detection.

These cameras continuously monitor industrial sites, identifying irregularities such as unauthorised access, equipment malfunctions or potential safety hazards. With real-time data transmission and automated alerts, they enable swift interventions, allowing safety teams to respond immediately before risks escalate.

Combining AI-driven robotics and intelligent monitoring solutions ensures a safer, more resilient industrial ecosystem where human workers and assets are better protected.

By driving innovation, enhancing connectivity and empowering industries, CelcomDigi aims to facilitate a smarter and more resilient future for businesses and communities alike, contributing to the nation’s commitment to leveraging 5G for economic growth and technological advancement.
