TM One conferred best data centre services provider at Telecom Asia Awards 2018
TM One, the enterprise and public sector business solutions arm of Telekom Malaysia Berhad (TM), further strengthen its position as the leading digital enabler when it was recognised as the Best Data Centre Services Provider by Telecom Asia at the 21st Telecom Asia Awards held recently in Singapore.
The award was conferred for TM One’s dedication to deliver top-notch data centre infrastructure and best-in-class managed services to its customers.
Edwin Ng Kok En, General Manager, Data Centre and Cloud Business, TM One accepted the awards on behalf of TM during the awards presentation ceremony.
Commenting on the win, Azizi A Hadi, Chief Executive Officer, TM One said, “We would like to thank Telecom Asia for recognising TM One's achievements for the Best Data Centre Services Provider category. It is our great honor to receive this prestigious award from Telecom Asia, which marks an important milestone of excellence for TM One’s Tier III Iskandar Puteri Core Data Centre (IPDC). This award is a testament of our continued efforts towards realising the nation’s aspiration to become a world-class Digital and Internet of Things (IoT) hub in the region. TM One will continue to innovate and deliver integrated business solutions with unparalleled service quality, security and highly trusted data centre services, true to TM’s promise of “Life Made Easier”.”
“In the current challenging era that requires advance solutions in support of the digital economy, data collection, storage, analysis and transformation into real customer insights are essential for organisations in order to drive decision making at an unprecedented volume and speed. However, legacy data centre facilities may have limited capabilities to cope with the increasing demand to properly support today's energy-demanding, high-performance big data computing. Hence, many businesses are shifting to commercial and third-party data centre providers such as TM One that has the capability to securely host and manage thousands of servers and petabytes of data in a very cost effective manner,” he further added.
TM One launched its state-of-the-art IPDC located in Nusajaya Technology Park, Iskandar Puteri, Johor in November 2017. The IPDC, which has been accredited with Tier-III Constructed Facilities by the Uptime Institute, was designed to fulfil hosting, cloud and IoT requirements of business and enterprise customers as well as public sector in realising their digital transformation. In tandem with the IPDC, the Klang Valley Data Centre (KVDC) which is currently under construction, is set to become TM One’s ‘Twin Core’ and hybrid cloud strategy to enable businesses to realise the full potential of their digital opportunities. TM currently has 11 data centres located across Malaysia, as well as in Hong Kong and the United States.
Marking its 21st anniversary, as the region’s longest running and most prestigious industry award, the Telecom Asia Awards aims to recognise and reward Asia’s premiere service providers and executives in the telecom industry.

The use cases that we are rolling out in all of our 5GDP locations are particularly selected to address the specific challenges faced by the community and stakeholders at the respective locations. For Subang Jaya, we have, together with MPSJ, identified prior to the project that parking, congestion and safety issues are among the community's top concerns. Today, TM and MPSJ are together in demonstrating how smart cities can be powered by 5G and Subang Jaya is indeed a perfect location to demonstrate these capabilities.

MPSJ plans to install more than 100 high-tech CCTV cameras in the SS15 commercial area to monitor parking and traffic flow and under the proposed pilot project, the CCTVs would be equipped with enhanced technology and algorithms that could gauge the behaviour of motorists and alert MPSJ or the police if any urgent action is required," said TPr. Hjh Noraini. Noraini added that it is MPSJ's hope that this initiative and collaboration will realise MPSJ's aspiration to become a Smart City by 2030 and at the same time, support the Selangor state government vision towards making Selangor as the pioneer smart city by 2025. Through this partnership, TM One and MPSJ agree to jointly collaborate in the deployment of the 5G network with the rollout of the three (3) use cases, where the transmission of TM's 5G service and the use cases have been fully operational since November 2019.

TM ONE's 5G-enabled Smart Traffic Light solution programmes traffic lights to respond to real-time, rich data collected by connected high-definition (HD) cameras and sensors, to enable improved traffic flow and reduces idle time at red lights. The Smart Parking solution enables real time parking bay monitoring using HD camera and Artificial Intelligence (AI), so users are able to search for vacant parking bay and navigate via path finder to reduce the time spent searching for the spot. Meanwhile, MPSJ enforcers can monitor parking occupancy and illegal parking incidents from the command centre and deploy resources more efficiently, thereby reducing traffic congestion at outdoor parking areas. The Smart Safety and Security solution provides advanced surveillance and real-time monitoring through video streaming from sensors and HD camera. Powered by AI capabilities, and integrated with TM's emergency response team, immediate action can be deployed in case of emergencies, as well as predictive analysis on actual incident situation for proactive response.
