Maxis and REDtone 4G infrastructure sharing deal

Malaysia’s Maxis Communications and REDtone have announced the signing of an infrastructure and spectrum sharing agreement that they claim ‘will enable both players to fast track their roll out of ultra-high speed 4G networks throughout the country’. In unveiling the deal, it was noted that both Maxis and REDtone are aiming to inaugurate commercial Long Term Evolution (LTE) services in selected areas of the Klang Valley early next year, with other regions to follow shortly after the initial launch. The partnership, which the companies said had come about in response to the Malaysian government’s call for operators to reduce the duplication of network assets, is expected to enable both Maxis and REDtone to reduce capital expenditures, while maximising the usage of spectrum
