ORIENT TELECOMS TO EXPAND MARKET SHARE IN MALAYSIA UP TO 50 PER CENT WITHIN 3 YEARS

KUALA LUMPUR, July 3 (Bernama) -- Orient Telecoms Plc, a United Kingdom-based telecommunication services provider, aims to expand its market share in Malaysia up to 50 per cent within three years by introducing more solutions to the market.

Its executive director and chief technology officer, Sayed Mustafa Ali, said the company managed to capture around 10 to 12 per cent of the local market from 2019 till today.

“The 50 per cent market share, however, is not necessarily (solely) Orient’s share, but we also share the portion with other telco companies like Telekom Malaysia Bhd or Time Dotcom Bhd.

“Currently, we are building our sales force as we planned to hire up to 30 salespeople in the next six months, and we can then embark on this journey,” he said at a press conference after launching its ORBIT 10,000 Premium Business internet plan here today.

The ORBIT 10,000 Premium Business plan, with 10 gigabits per second (Gbps) capacity, is designed for large businesses and small and medium enterprises seeking to redefine their connectivity with 10,000 megabits per second (Mbps) internet speed.

In a statement, the company said the service also integrates a suite of advanced technologies and system capabilities designed to meet the rigorous demands of today’s enterprises.

Meanwhile, Orient Telecoms assistant vice president of network engineering Khairi Hafidz said the ORBIT 10,000 network would focus on the Klang Valley area for now.

“We have plans to expand the network to the East Coast and Peninsular Malaysia for the next three to five years, but now we will develop the network in the Klang Valley (first),” he added.
